support showing timestamps for files/dirs about dua-cli HOT 3 CLOSED

I agree, this part of the metadata wouldn't have to be stored for all files it iterates. Instead it could be extracted from the meta-data that is queried each time a level of files is displayed. This is currently used to indicate missing files in red (useful to see they have been deleted already).

It would be worth figuring out which timestamp exactly should be chosen, last modified time, or creation time. My intuition is modified time.

Any pointers or suggestions how to tackle this? I am mostly a rust newbie alas,
but I don't mind at least trying to poke around a bit to see what I can find out.

The entries panel (the one you are interested in) is drawn here.

Currently it only knows about the existence of an entry, but that could be extended here.

The trickier bits should be around drawing the dates correctly, but that is usually a matter of experimentation with cargo run -- i.

If you have more questions or trouble, please feel free to post here for some help.
