[Fix] #6 #30

[Kristinita]

1. Behavior before pull request

I create a new Markdown file → Ctrl+Shift+P (⌘⇧p for Mac) → Pelican: Insert Metadata → metadata insert:

Ctrl+Shift+P (⌘⇧p for Mac) → Pelican: Update Article Date → Date metadata variable update:

2. Behavior after pull request

I add a new metadata variable Modified.

I create a new Markdown file → Ctrl+Shift+P (⌘⇧p for Mac) → Pelican: Insert Metadata → metadata with new Modified variable insert, Modified value = Date value:

Ctrl+Shift+P (⌘⇧p for Mac) → Pelican: Update Modified → Modified variable update, Date variable stay constantly.

3. Argumentation

See @jachin arguments. Date variable — time, when we create article or page. Modified variable — last update time article or page. We must update Modified, not Date. See File Metadata section in official documentation.

4. Testing environment

Operating system and version: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 64-bit EN Sublime Text: Build 3126 Syntax: Markdown

5. Notes

1. I'm sorry, I don't know reStructuredText — I don't know, how my changes will work in rst files.
2. This pull request don't solve #30 issue. Modified variable doesn't update by save.

Thanks.

Type: Update request 📈

@jsliang, what about merging st3 branch (with my pull request) to the master branch? Sublime Text 2 hasn’t been updated since 2013; in 2021, Sublime Text 4 appeared. I think it’s time to drop support for Sublime Text 2 or at least make the version for Sublime Text 3 as main branch.

Plugin version from st3 branch still works for me in Sublime Text 4 Build 4169.

Thanks.
