In every image request the time value is being passed in (t=). This should eliminate the need for the Time Parting plug-in. There should be a way to take this variable and parse it out a bit and get the same information that the plug-in provided.
agreed, this should be a default/standard report of SC. The data is already there, don't hide it behind a plugin that you have to discover and implement. It'll also save me having to eat up a few sprops and evars.
