Hello Kern and Heitor,

I can see the ExpiresIn field in Bacula 7.4.0 version.
Maybe the ExpiresIn value could be more useful if displayed in the same format as the LastWritten field.

Best regards,
Ana

Hello, Kern: sorry for being laconic.
When I mean "human readable" is in the sense of ls, df and other Linux commands:

"-h, --human-readable
print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)"

*What I see today:*

*list media pool=File
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+---------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+------------+

*What I think would make the user life easier:*

*list media pool=File human
