Show modified time of the file under the cursor on the status line

[GeordyJ]

I just wanted to share how I was able to add the modified time of the file under the cursor in the status line. You just need to add the following code to the yazi/init.lua file. I prefer this rather than using the linemodes.

Status:children_add(function()
	local h = cx.active.current.hovered
	return ui.Line({
		ui.Span(os.date(_, tostring(h.cha.mtime):sub(1, 10))):fg("blue"),
		ui.Span(" "),
	})
end, 500, Status.RIGHT)

You can modify it to see other properties, see the docs

I would like if this is on by default. Same as lf

[GeordyJ]

No it is not on by default, taxi does not show the modified time in the red box in the pic like lf.

Also I get this error when I use this script

[nighthawk469]

do you mean yazi not taxi ?

[GeordyJ]

Sorry for the typo it’s yazi (commenting from phone).
Secondly, to get rid of the warning replace ‘cha.modified’ with ‘cha.mtime’

Thanks, works good.

Thank you, I was looking for something like this. Here is modified variant, displaying both B and Mtime in different format:

Status:children_add(function()
    local h = cx.active.current.hovered
    local elements = {}

    local btime_formatted = nil
    if h and h.cha and h.cha.btime then
        local timestamp_num = tonumber(h.cha.btime)
        if timestamp_num and timestamp_num > 0 then
            btime_formatted = os.date("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M", math.floor(timestamp_num))
        end
    end

    local mtime_formatted = nil
    if h and h.cha and h.cha.mtime then
        local timestamp_num = tonumber(h.cha.mtime)
        if timestamp_num and timestamp_num > 0 then
            mtime_formatted = os.date("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M", math.floor(timestamp_num))
        end
    end

    if btime_formatted then
        table.insert(elements, ui.Span("B:"):fg("cyan"))
        table.insert(elements, ui.Span(btime_formatted.. " "):fg("blue"))
    end

    if mtime_formatted then
        table.insert(elements, ui.Span("M:"):fg("cyan"))
        table.insert(elements, ui.Span(mtime_formatted.. " "):fg("blue"))
    end

    return ui.Line(elements)
end, 500, Status.RIGHT)
