The date is shown nowhere

[Brutus5000]

Hi there,

I just used mdp for the first time. I was wondering what the purpose of the %date variable is. Neither in the sample file nor in my own files the date is shown anywhere on the screen. I would have expected in the bottom line as the names are also there, maybe centered?

Is this a bug or is this intentional?

Yes, this is a bug. It is supposed to show up when --noslidenum is used.
But the name of the variable does not really matter, Just the fact, that it is the third one, should show it in the bottom right corner.
