Description Phil Jasbutis 2022-10-06 12:36:54 UTC 
3. What is the nature and description of the request?

  - Nautilus only supports displaying the date format in %D %m %Y format with some specialties:

    - "Yesterday" replace dates for files folders which have been modified/accessed yesterday
    - Leaving out %Y for files/folders which have been modified/accessed this year

  - This can be confusing since the visualization of the columns "Modified", "Accessed" and "Modified - Time" 
    can contain text, dates without year, time without date, and so on. It also looks visually restless and
    unstructured (even if sorting works fine). 

  - Nautilus should default to a consistent full date + time presentation. 


4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

  - Having the full date is a basic function of every file browser.


5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

  - Nautilus should print the date and time always in full format: "05.10.2022 10:00" or "2022-10-05 10:00" or "05/10/2022 10:00"


6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.

  1) Open Nautilus
  2) Switch to "List View"
  3) Inspect the dates in columns "Modified", "Accessed", Modified-Time"


7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?

  - Existing functionality to configure format was removed here:
    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/commit/73465be3671ae572ba744d36b055fda3cb210db7

  - Request to add %YYYY-%MM-%DD (ISO 8601 Format) can be found here:
    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/949


8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL8, RHEL9)?

  - no, asap


9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?

  - no


10. List any affected packages or components.

  - nautilus-3.28.1-15.el8.x86_64


11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?

  - yes
