Re: UK date format in Dired

[Graham Smith]

Harald,

Thanks for the help, but yes I am on Windows, and all OS regional settings are already set up for the UK.

Should be possible, if you can talk ls into doing so.  Possibly just
setting the appropriate locale variable (LC_TIME) in the environment
will do the trick.

To use another ls than the first one in PATH, set the variable
insert-directory-program to its pathname.  And set the variable
dired-listing-switches to the command line switches you need (as a
single string; will be converted to a list by the shell).

Oh, if you're on windows this won't help, and neither can I.
