Xpra: Ticket #2584: TIMESTAMP expansion not happening

The feature from r24348 seems to not work

u@h:/run/user/1000/xpra$ xpra start gnome-terminal
xpra for python 2.7 is not installed
 retrying with python3
Entering daemon mode; any further errors will be reported to:
  /run/user/1000/xpra/display-gnome-terminal-$TIMESTAMP.log
u@h:/run/user/1000/xpra$ ls -lah
total 16K

-rwx------  1 u u 5,7K Φεβ  10 15:47 run-xpra

And its lines seem non-existent

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xpra $ grep TIMESTAMP scripts/server.py

$ grep TIMESTAMP xpra/scripts/server.py
    extra_expand = {"TIMESTAMP" : datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S")}

My guess is that your server is not running v4.

This is not a bug fix so it has not been included in the 3.0.x branch, though it is scheduled for 3.1: milestone/3.1.

Oh ... I keep forgetting that it was targeted for v4.

Oh well :/
