[Feature Request] Displaying modification date

[MarcAtQuod]

In the source of the pages, the modification date is available but it is not displayed in Zim. It will be useful to have the choice to :

- display both dates (creation and modification)
- select the kind of date to display (creation or modification)

Thanks,
Marc

Zim 0.27 / Ubuntu 8.10 x_64

This was suggested to be in a properties dialog, available from the Tree context menu. See comment #10 from bug #269076:

This is already visible in the display properties (Page tab) - 0.27

It is very different to view directly the information on the page, in which case the user sees immediately the informations.

Moreover, this becomes visible in exports (HTML...) and printings.

Including this property in exported HTML etc. is much easier to do because it can simply be a template parameter.

However for pages in the editor we only use a template when they are first created. So updating the page with the modification time constantly is more difficult. Also this kind of breaks the interface.

Maybe it is possible to display the date elsewhere in the interface ?

[..Maybe it is possible to display the date elsewhere in the interface ?..] <== sure !

For me, the important thing is that the user sees the date of modification without having to walk through a menu...

Moving to Won't Fix because for lack of activity. Can be re-opened with a specific suggestion on how the interface should look.

Hello Jaap and Happy New Year !

See attachment for a proposal.
