Am I doing something wrong? After using --time-style, the face of the time in my dired file listing changed, the numbers now look like the ones for the file size. C-u C-x = on time/date doesn't show diredfl-date-time anymore, but diredfl-number instead. How can I set a different time-style and keep the face binding to diredfl-date-time?
This is the command I use:
(setq dired-listing-switches "-laGgh1v --group-directories-first --time-style +%d.%m.%Y")
Thank you very much for any help or advice!

Taking a quick look at the package, it seems to rely on
dired-move-to-filename-regexp to detect the date. Since you change
the display, the regexp does not match anymore. AFAICT, it matches
ISO style date and "western style"? IDK, take a look at the comments.

Thank you very much! Now I understand why it doesn't work. I just couldn't find it and was trying and trying. Feels much better to know now. I wish I could read (and understand) elisp code better, but I will learn ...
It's great you are helping non-programmer guys like me around here. Makes me love Emacs even more. Cheers!
