Modified column in File Manager (Files) does not display time

[Robert E. Novak]

The Modified column does not provide the time of the file, only the date. I have not yet confirmed for 16.04, but the bug persists in 15.10:

Files - version 3.14.2
Description: Ubuntu 15.10
Release: 15.10

As documented:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/15.10/ubuntu-help/nautilus-list.html

  Modified

      Gives the date and time of the last time the file was modified.

In fact it only shows the date. Suggested fix from 2012 was to modify the source code and there are notes about
how this cropped up in the first place.

Thanks for your report.

The time is shown for files which were modified today, and otherwise not. This is the case also in 16.04. I changed the wording to be less specific.

In 16.10 there is a separate option "Modified-Time" now. This option doesn't allow you to change the time format. I find "Yesterday 18:03" not the best format. I'd prefer "2017-05-23 18:03"
