Bug Description

Having the full date is a basic function of every file browser but it seems it was completely removed from gnome and nobody cares over there... That is unacceptable und - quite unbelievable ;-)

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS 64bit

Here's a users's patch which at least adds a custom selectable "full datetime" column, which would be fine as a solution.

Please look into this common, basic feature.

Gnome have dismissed this issue. I find this outrageous. How are you supposed to locate a file changed on a specific date, e.g. a photo?

Now it's up to you Ubuntu guys!

Quoting from AskUbuntu:

So in order to have nautilus display the full date in list view, it is only necessary to change on line of code: in libnautilus-private/nautilus-column-utilities.c, line 78 from "date_modified" to "date_modified_full".
