finder window date added date modified show date time always

Question

finder window date added date modified show date time always

Is there a preference setting to have a finder window with Date Added and Date Modified columns enabled to always show the date and time? Currently, the column information is dynamic, like just providing a time where you infer Today, or one column does show the date and time but the other only shows the date, or it reads Today, 12:31pm.

I want every window when displaying Date Added or Date Modified columns to always, consistently show the date and time, e.g. 3/15/14, 7:31AM.

Aloha and Mahalo!

I found half of the answer: View:Show View Options - Deselect Use Relative Dates.

Now I just need a solution to always show the time and not only the date.

Curiously, when you initially enable a column in a Finder window, it shows both the date and time; however when you return to the window after closing it, you lose the time of day on Date Added, but not on Date Modified. -- Bug or Feature?

Ah-Ha! The problem was the width of the column. When widened, the column dynamically adds more detailed date/time info.

Yes but, I want to see the columns I've selected in the window when I open it & not have to re size the window to see then all. .

The name column fills the window when a new window is made / opened. .

Even when I click the green button to maximise the window, the name column expands to fill the the width. .

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
