[Bug 1108765] Re: Locations in the menu updating every second is distracting

 

Even though the the priority for this is low, I'm in the process of
tinkering with the datetime formatting code now, so this is a timely
request.

Title:
  Locations in the menu updating every second is distracting

Status in The Date and Time Indicator:
  In Progress
Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  indicator-datetime 12.10.2-0ubuntu3

  1. Add multiple other locations to the menu.
  2. Check "In the clock, show: Seconds".
  3. Open the menu.

  What you see: The time for every location shows the seconds.

  This is repetitive and rather distracting.

  I propose that times in other locations should show just the hours and
  minutes, regardless of whether you've chosen to show seconds in the
  menu title.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#menu-locations>: "Each time
  should be presented in the same way as it is in the menu title, except
  that ...  seconds should never be included, to reduce redundancy and
  avoid distraction."
