Finder timestamp format What determines the format that the Finder uses to display the timestamps for files (i.e. 24 hr time vs. AM/PM)? My home Mac displays timestamps in AM/PM format. My Mac at work displays them in 24 hr format. In both locations, the menu bar Clock is set to display time in 24 hr format. The Finder does not seem to have a toggle for this in its Finder -> Settings... menu item, so I assume this would require editing a file to change, however I have no idea what file controls this. Both machines are running a version of MacOS later than 13.1; my home Mac is running 13.5.1, and I think the work Mac is running 13.4 but I'm not certain.

Turning Focus on will dim the date and time. A prevention method is to add Focus to the Menu Bar.
