Double Click in the "yyyy-MM-dd" field and it will enters edit mode, and you can modify it

Check following link on how the date and time format should be written

Date Format
Time Format

Sajjan:
Mathias Sir,
I am very sorry to bother you so many times on same topic Sir. My ignorance is the reason therefore please forgive me Sir.

I went to : Menu > Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings > Layout (Tab)
Scrolled down to Date / Time format /Use custom date and time format

The I successfully edited both date and time formats, but even after I clicked on 'Apply' then 'Save", nothing happened. Settings did not change Sir.

Jungle:
Indeed, custom datetime format is not applied.

1. No changes are made to ZFileManager.xml file when saving settings.
2. If values are changed manually by some editor, then they are loaded and displayed in settings page, but have no effect in Explorer panel.

So the only visible effect is when you enable/disable "Use custom date and time format" option. But most probably only default hardcoded custom format is used.

There are no hardcoded format. by default is uses the same format that is defined by Windows, and that is depended on your regional settings in Windows.

But there is some issue here.. I think it is the settings panel that does not trigger that the edit field has changed.

But If you edit (zfilemanger.xml) it manually it works (xml tag "customdateformat" and "customtimeformat".)  just make sure that the option "use custom date and time format" ("customdatetimeformat") is also active. else it will not try to load it

Mathias (Author):
Yes it is the settings panel that has a bug. There is a way to fix it manually-

Edit "<mc install location>\Config\ZFileManager_def.xml"

At around line 145 you see


      <item type="chk" key="layout/customdatetimeformat" attribute="value" default="0" text="#s382">
        <item type="edit" key="layout/customdateformat" attribute="value" default="yyyy-MM-dd" tooltip="#s383" />
        <item type="edit" key="layout/customtimeformat" attribute="value" default="HH:mm" tooltip="#s384"  />
      </item>


Change that into

      <item type="chk" key="layout/customdatetimeformat" attribute="value" default="0" text="#s382">
        <item type="edit2" key="layout/customdateformat" attribute="value" default="yyyy-MM-dd" tooltip="#s383" />
        <item type="edit2" key="layout/customtimeformat" attribute="value" default="HH:mm" tooltip="#s384"  />
      </item>
