Issue page doesn't show the dates of patch sets #352

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

On the issue page (codereview.appspot.com/12345), there is no date listed next 
to the patch set.  It turns out it's quite difficult to figure out when a patch 
set was sent, because the diff page also doesn't show dates, and the 
notification messages for patch sets don't indicate which patch set they are 
from.

It would help a lot if the issue page showed the dates of the patch sets.

It's there: "Created: XX (minutes|hours|days) ago".

That is not a date.  That's my point.

Having to expand every patch set individually to see the elapsed timespan, and 
then having to mentally calculate the date for each one, is an unnecessary 
hassle.  It would be so much easier if it just showed the date.

You can open a separate issue to move it into user preference, because as a 
developer I am not motivated to make the change by default I think M-A is -1 as 
well. My preference is relative time references.

Try attempting to correlate the progress of a code review with an e-mail 
thread, and you'll immediately understand why it's valuable to provide the 
actual date.

This specific user story is more clear. I believe the cause of the problem is 
that Rietveld doesn't link emails in threads and you are forced to see how 
separate mails correlate to review history. Is that it?

Ah, yes, I think that would certainly go a long way toward solving that 
particular case.  I think dates would still be more broadly useful, though.
