Get modification timestamp of notecard

[Hooten Haller]

Is there a way to get the modification timestamp of a notecard in inventory? `llGetObjectDetails` `OBJECT_CREATION_TIME` returns an empty string. `llGetInventoryAcquireTime` returns the timestamp when the notecard came into the inventory; it's not updated when the NC is edited. The notecard's description reflects its creation time.

My objective is to know which version of a notecard is most recent. I may need to satisfy myself with manually bumping a number suffix on the name. That requires discipline and isn't reliable.

As per the caveats on the wiki page for llGetObjectDetails, this function doesn't return information about items within an inventory.

Unfortunately we don't have access to that kind of metadata directly. However, you can indirectly access an approximation by keeping track of when the notecard's UUID changes - as it will get a new one when you save any edits to a notecard.

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llOwnerSay("pre-edit uuid: "+(string)llGetInventoryKey("test")
            +"\npre-edit time: "+llGetTimestamp());
    }
    
    changed(integer change)
    {
        if (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY)         
        {
            llOwnerSay("post-edit uuid: "+(string)llGetInventoryKey("test")
                +"\npost-edit time: "+llGetTimestamp());
        }
    }
}

I missed seeing that caveat. I'd considered noting the time of the changed event as well. I want to compare with an external version of the notecard.

I'll ponder some alternate designs before I go as far as making a feature request.

Thanks, folks!
