Misleading label "Status:" in the Info panel

Description (last modified by zaytsev) (diff)

The info panels shows useful information about the currently selected file (atime, mtime, ctime for instance). However, the label "Status:" for ctime is clearly misleading. From man 2 stat:

The field st_ctime is changed by writing or by setting inode
information (i.e., owner, group, link count, mode, etc.).

Example:

printf("Last inode change:        %s", ctime(&sb.st_ctime));

As we don't have enough space to label it "Status changed", I suggest to go for "Changed:" instead. I think this will make it much clearer what this date is all about, as I have already seen users suggesting that "Status" is a weird label for "Created", which is obviously not the case.

Also, "Changed" label is consistent with "CHange time" that we use for column headers in the list mode elsewhere.

Thanks for voting!
