Description Paul Passaarelli 2023-10-24 13:49:08 UTC
SUMMARY The "Time" section contains a stupid long list of choices, but none are the option I want.


***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The list looks like an outer join of a bunch of unrelated content.  Someone went to a lot of trouble to collect all the flags, and crap to make people everywhere _feel_ important.  How about projecting that what they do might _be_ important. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Take a lesson from Microsoft Windows.  Let me choose the Region, Numeric Format, Date & Time (Long & Short), and unit of measurement, *** individually *** !!!  And also allow me to enter or edit my own formatting strings if I desire. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Bug Janitor Service 2023-10-24 14:34:05 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.
