Sometimes seeing relative date is better then absolute one. I'm proposing to add "ago" format to kDateFormatter class to allow relative date display in grids or editing forms (where dates are displayed as labels).
Examples of relative dates:
- 2 mins 5 secs ago
- in 6 hours 13 mins
Examples of absolute dates:
- 01/02/2012 15:33
- 01/02/2012 03:33 PM
P.S.
