Description nammidd 2020-01-15 14:04:41 UTC
Dolphin has many places where Modify time, Access time, Creation time is displayed, why Change time was not implemented? I need it.

This feature is not implemented as it was I believe never asked as it is a rather unusual use case.

You can use touch to achieve this :

Comment 2 nammidd 2020-01-15 15:04:35 UTC
So I am asking about it, unusual or not, but it costs nothing to implement because what time to display is up to a user. Many things that have already been implemented can be attributed to "unusual use case".
And touch is for changing timestamps, not displaying them.
Comment 3 Méven Car 2020-01-15 15:27:20 UTC
I misunderstood you, you meant "Change time" stat's ctime or "status change time".

Well, this is not very useful for most users.
A patch or rather patches could be accepted (it would require update to kio, dolphin and baloo-widgets at least).

It has the history of being mistaken with the creation time because of its name in stat syscall "ctime".
