Dear List,

How can I change the Krusader time display to a 24 hour format?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The system forces me to use the Canada (English) region, which is pretty out to lunch because…

The developers of Linux OS time formatting system seem to have assumed that every country / region uses ONLY ONE time format. This may be correct in most parts of the world. It is NOT TRUE in Canada! (In fact scientist, all over the world, use the 24 hour format and a YYYY-MM-DD date format regardless of regional norms.)

1. Canada is a nation of immigrants, the huge majority of whom used the 24 hour time format before they arrived, and continue to use once they are here.

2. Canada shares a very long border with the US. (To the best of my knowledge one of the few countries in the world that still uses the 12 hour time format, with the exception of scientists.) As a result, we here in (English) Canada, are a bit schizophrenic. Among ourselves, for the most part, we use the 24 hour time format. When dealing with the US we use the 12 hour time format. (That is especially true here in Québec.)

Another example of this is our calendars which have both Canadian and US holidays on them.
