Best UI for information display criterias are IMHO Readability (fast to read),
density (clear, easy to the eye), informativeness (keeps important data
visible, while hiding superfluous ones).
This date short format is easier to read than numbers, it shortens the strings
so it is less dense and does not loose any information.
So for those criteria it is as best as can be.
"11/05/2446 00:38" (french date formatting here) at the opposite is harder to
read and denser, for instance.
There is no information loss to the user, when display "2 days ago 10:14"
compared to "26/10/2021 10:14".
Btw in the information panel we have a toggle to display date in a wider format
(Right click).
In the form "Tuesday 26th October, 20:14"
>From your own POV you admit, this looks pretty and fits your use.
So I don't see any issue here, just an overzealous missing setting feeling for
other potential users.
In fact I am thinking about shortening the dates in dolphin UI, hiding hours
since they are very often of use while making UI denser, this would be a
setting though.
In the settings it could be like (with the default I am thinking about):
Dates display :
With hours: [ ] Display time of day with dates
relative: [x] Use "Two days ago", "Just a moment ago"
shortened: [x] Use days of the current week like "Tuesday" and skipping
years for months of this year "10th of October"
We would have the exact date in a tooltip on hover still and ordering wouldn't
be affected.
