Description Paul Passaarelli 2023-06-06 13:21:35 UTC
There are tons of *interesting* (and useless) regional information, all bundles into a very long and totally incomplete list.  You will *NEVER* assemble all the combinations of flag, timezone, suffix, line order, short/long formats into a *USEFUL* list.  

This app needs to offer each option as a set of *distinct* choices.  I want to see ISO dates (YYYY-MM-DD) in my  "Dolphin" file explorer.  I also want to see 24hr times but I don't want to see "M06" or any of the other hundreds of useless permutations.

Since this is an older version and is bundled with OpenSuse, perhaps the bulk of my comment is moot.

Note: building long lists of permutations is a sure sigh than you've *FAILED* to understand the problem.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Bug Janitor Service 2023-06-06 13:33:46 UTC
Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 5.24.4 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27, and 5.27 or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 5.24.4, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.

Sadly, Unix locales don't work that way. "2023年6月4日" may be a "useless" permutation for you, not for Chinese, same for other languages.
