Show date time mod of a file in status bar when in icon view

Asked by Moc

Im currently looking at file in nautilus, and I wanted to see the date of those file (photo) quickly to rename my folder. But this is not available in icon view or Compact View. I need to check the property of my file to see it or switch to list view

It could be added in the status bar, or have a popup when cursor is on file.

You just need to go to the Nautilus's preferences (menu Edit / Preferences) and then go to Display tab where you have the options about what to show under the file in the icon view. Just change the first element to the Date Modified and you'll achieve what you need.

Can you help with this problem?
