I enabled timestamps ONCE for two of my worlds, saw the time and arrow alongside of every line, then turned it off.

Now? Even if I delete timestamps from my file, I STILL see the time and arrow on every line.

Is this intended, related to the plugin, or something else I'm not switching right? I'm guessing it's the plugin, I used it once and it caused it initially.

It's not intended. :)

What I guess has happened is that after you removed the plugin you didn't save the world file.

What closing the plugin does is these script instructions:


  SetAlphaOption ("timestamp_input",  "")
  SetAlphaOption ("timestamp_output", "")
  SetAlphaOption ("timestamp_notes",  "")

You can open an Immediate window (Ctrl+I) and just paste that into it.

However what should work is to install the plugin, then remove it. Check once you remove it that the timestamps are gone and then save the world file to make that permanent.

That worked, thanks! ^_^
