--- Comment #1 from alexxcons <alexxcons at xfce.org> ---
> First the reference manual, lacks information
Here what the tooltip of thunar-master has:
  gtk_widget_set_tooltip_text (entry, _("Custom date format to apply.\n\n"
                                        "The most common specifiers are:\n"
                                        "%d day of month\n"
                                        "%m month\n"
                                        "%Y year including century\n"
                                        "%H hour\n"
                                        "%M minute\n"
                                        "%S second\n\n"
                                        "For a complete list, check the man
pages of 'strftime'"));

... the complete list of  'strftime' is a bit long for a tooltip
I just added the stuff from the tooltip as well to
https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/4.14/preferences#display_preferences

> 2/ request new option or description in manual to perform "Today" feature in a format as Y-m-d
Not sure what you request here ... a option to show date as "Today" /
"Yesterday" ?

Patches would be welcome ... check "thunar_util_humanize_file_time" and
THUNAR_DATE_STYLE_SIMPLE / THUNAR_DATE_STYLE_SHORT for that .. though it might
be much more work than you expect.
