            Bug ID: 335748
           Summary: Information in date columns unclear, no controls to
                    clarify
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: akregator
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
          Reporter: d1yoe57+0ho44w@guerrillamailblock.com

There does not appear to be any way of making Akregator show dates in a way
that isn't all handholding and dumbed down, and in turn overly complicated and
difficult to use.

Date columns with entries within the last couple of days say "today" and
"yesterday", and then have day names instead back over a week, and then the
actual date numbers. This wall of mixed information presentation is hard to
work with and unintuitive - there are three different contexts to think about
when looking for a past thing from a KDE list.

And then if an entry in a list is from the future, even if still today (when
other content is labelled as "Today"), the proper date and time is shown, just
as they are for >week old things.

I've looked through the QT4 config and KDE config but cannot find anything
helpful. Well, I can, but the options that seem relevant have no bearing: in
KDE's settings, country/region and language, date and time tab, changing the
long date format doesn't tidy the date list up. But then again because of the
three types of presentation of information I don't actually know what I should
be looking for!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Have some RSS entries across a range of dates (a month or so), look at the
dates and see what a mess of presentation they are.


Expected Results:  
Just show the bloody date and time! Perhaps as the global KDE settings dictate?
