Whenever I view the finish time for a print, I always get slightly annoyed because it is in 24H format and I am not used to that, and I think most users would be happier if this was in 12hr format or if we at least had the option to change it to 12h format.

yes i know some peoples brains run off a 24h format but like @pfeerick said if we had the option but all you need to do is subtract 12 off of it and its in 12h for you

Yeah like I can still understand it, it just takes me a sec. It’s not like the most needed feature by any means, just something that would make it more convenient.

All modern operating systems have a system wide and/or user setting for 12/24h format, so all software should abide that (as opposed to add their own oddball settings).

Interesting read. For me it is easier to read 24 hour format than 12 hour format. Even when the 12 hour format shows AM or PM I still prefer 24 hour format on digital clocks. Especially in regard to estimated finish/arrival times.
On the other hands I have no problem with analogue clocks/wristwatches that show in 12 hour format and I quickly convert the roman numbers (or just the position dot) to understand what time it is NOW.
In my opinion the software should follow “system preset format” by default and have the option to be overridden.

Bump for the feature. It’s not a big deal, and I have no desire to get into the argument of 12h vs 24h, but having the toggle would be nice.

MOST of the world is using 24H format, its not “some people” that use it.
Still this should be a feature to toogle for the small part of the people that uses that time format.

Yes 12 hour option please!
Seems trivial to implement, but its been a year and some change since this thread was made. Wheres the 12h option?! A lot of people want this.
One more vote for this feature from me. 
Thank you in advance.
This was implemented as of version 2.5.3, although I don’t see it in the release notes. There should be a new option for this showing up in Preferences, “Use 12-hour time format” just below the language/region/currency settings. (I haven’t personally verified if it works, just looked at the code.)

I can confirm this is in preferences and works, now we can all be happy, whether you like subtraction or not!!!
12 vs 24 hour
123,456.00 vs 123.456,00
5,00,000 vs 500,000 (indian numbering system)
metric vs inches
languages …
it’s all a mess of different standards
