Another? It's already there in Dir/File, just missing the weekday.
Frankly, I had no idea the weekday is shown in eXecute, along
with some other stats. I believe that the default look is for XTree
legacy, that's maybe why Kim added the option:
U Brief eXecute command headings Yes/No
Set to "Yes" to configure the eXecute command screen header to
three lines instead of five lines.
I have only ever focused on the command I was entering/recalling,
never even glanced at the header in eXecute!
So, Kim is already getting the weekday info from the system, it just
needs to be more prominent, and require no action -- this is key.
Why should users need to hit 'x' to see the day of the week, when
they probably spend 99% of their time in File/Dir views? There is
ample room on these screens for three (or two) more letters in
the date/time area.
The problem may be that it could break the current (fixed?) layout,
where very long path names on the first line bump into the date/time
area. It may indeed be hard to find room on the first line for 3-4 weekday
letters without disrupting something.
