title:
creator:
date:
description:
identifier:
language:
nSpines:
checkSum:
renditionLayout:
renditionOrientation:
renditionSpread:
ePubVersion:
isScripted:
hasFixedFormat:
isBackwardCompatible:
hasAudio:
hasVideo:
charsCount:
hasEncryption:
hasSignatures:

Or do you want the plugin to add the date and the EPUBCheck version number to the epub metadata?

I want the date/time stamp of last checked. Thank You

{
extra;

gives too much information. I only want the last run date/time stamp to be displayed. Also with the above line, the time-zone seems to be improper. It seems to taking GMT instead of system time

If you change the following line in main.py from:

status_message += format_publication_info(info["publication"])

to:

data = json.loads(stdout); checker = data.get("checker", {}); status_message += "\ncheckDate: {}".format(checker.get("checkDate", 0))

You you should get a MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS time stamp.
For example: checkDate: 04-05-2026 14:53:21
