Re: Fwd: [STUMP] [PATCH] Allow access to time without invoking external date

[Matt Spear]

Yes...%d in the mode-line works for me...sorry I just started using
stumpwm.  I think it may be worth applying the patch as it gives
flexibility and helps hide some details from outside time.

Also it means I can do a time-based screenshot command cleanly:
(defcommand sshot2 () ()
            "Take a screenshot"
            (run-shell-command (format nil "import
/home/batman/~A.jpg" (time-format "%y-%m-%e-%H-%M-%S"))))


Thanks!!

PS.  I just noticed I missed a call in mode-line, I've attached a
patch that has just that change.
