Why did you not add #filedate# to the data_show filter? Is the difficulty to integrate with Kdenlive and make formatting adjustable? > camcorder because it doesn't put a date/timecode in the video but it does > save the file with a modified date of the day it was recorded.

I am soon adding support for a starting timecode that will be used to compute a virtual running timecode. However, I also soon will add proper timecode parsing and serialization to mlt_properties instead of ad-hoc functions sprinkled throughout the code. > Let me know your thoughts on the filter and its suitability to be included > in MLT.
