Help-link in Settings leads to incorrect page #64

Closed paddylandau closed 2 years ago

paddylandau commented 2 years ago

In the Settings, there is a link, "What do all these %x codes mean?"

This leads to a Github document page with an anchor g-date-time-format.

Unfortunately, it looks like the intended link no longer exists, as there is no such anchor or documentation on the target page. I have tried to find out where it should lead, but I have failed!

I believe that some of the % codes are the same as described in the Linux command date, but not all. E.g., %;cf, %;@ and others.

Please would you update the link?

I can’t update the link. The GTK project has deleted this part of their documentation. It contained a lot of Glib specific time formats. So, … hm. The Internet Archive doesn’t have it either.

Oh, well. Thanks for trying, though.

Maybe leave a link to date, but with a note that it's not exhaustive?

The correct link is https://docs.gtk.org/glib/method.DateTime.format.html

Thank you! I have made a note of this.

@da2x — Would you be able to update the link to this one?

da2x commented 2 years ago

Thanks, I’ll update the link.
