I'm with Debian 10 (x86_64) and xfe version 1.43.1

I was trying to change the time format in "Modified date". The default was DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM (or PM) with HH between 0 and 12, but I wanted DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS with HH between 0 and 23. I searched a lot and failed to find oficial xfe documentation about this.

But then I stumbled upon https://www.w3resource.com/mysql/date-and-time-functions/mysql-date_format-function.php and noted how similar it was to time_format=%x %X

Then I tried time_format=%x %T and it worked.

So I think time_format option is lacking documentation about how it works, the syntax and the avaiable options different than default.

    Hi, go to the Edit / Preferences menu, then at the bottom you will see the Date format option:

    "Date format used in file and folder lists:
    (Type 'man strftime' in a terminal for help on the format)"

    So, just type 'man strftime' in a terminal, and you will see the complete documentation about the available time formats.
