Bug Description

I opened the file explorer (Nautilus?) to check when a particular file was created. I was interested in time (this is what Windows would show).

The Modified column shows only weekday name ("Thu") which makes it imprecise and kind of useless. I would expect to see at least hours and minutes ("Thu 07:44")

When I replaced Modified column with Modified--Time (which shows "Thu 07:44"...), the change is not kept permanently.

The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME.
