Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
Please display the info from the crash file's "Date" field in the popup, which allows the user to report the crash/problem.
This makes it a lot easier to classify, what this crash may have been related to.
I see, that you can get this info later from the "Display info" button, but nonetheless - I think it would help a lot, if you see something like "This happened x minutes ago." or "This happened yesterday, 22:35"; of course, just using the value from the Date field would be enough already.

Well I would like to implement this functionality. I have never fixed a bug before, though, so do not expect anything too soon!

If you select "More details" or something from the new Apport dialog, it shows when it crashed. So... set this to released? Or make it a little more obvious?...

The information has been there before (in the details).
While it might be easier to access it from the start now, it still is not displayed directly.

Nice idea. It should be hidden if it happened less than a minute ago, but for system crashes, crashes from cron etc. that would be useful.
