I would like to take this opportunity to mention something that has puzzled me for a long time, at least since 9.51. It's related to the display of parent directory date in the default "full" view. I will use two examples to describe it - and the logic of the two examples somehow contradicts with each other. To me it seems almost like a bug, but it could also be by design.
Notes:
1. I have always been on the Windows Insiders Build, and as I mentioned, this "issue" (may not be) has occurred ever since 9.51 with the latest Windows 10 preview.
2. I try to write out everything I see in the file list panel, but you can also refer to the screenshots here (numbered) for better visualization.
Example 1
Let's say I navigate into the folder D:\Downloads\Total Commander, and it looks like below (and can be seen in Screenshot 1 in the link above):
Code: Select all

I find my mind always spends quite a bit of time to digest the number I see in here, so my workaround is to use a custom columns view, in which the date in the first line is always empty.
Let me know what you think of this "twist".
