I also have an interest in this. I have been using these TeX statements
in thconfig:
\the\legendtextsize\ Map generated at \the\time
\the\currentdate\medskip
\the\legendtextsize\ Therion version \the\thversion
Which results in a date output that looks like this:
Map generated at 51009/04/25
I am using Linux - Fedora 42. It would be nice to show the date in a
more readable format.

I have been using /currentdate to identify in an exported pdf map header

\edef\tmp{\the\thversion} \ifx\tmp\empty \else %only write version

{\the\legendtextsize\si\the\thversiontitleA:
\ss\the\thversiontitleB \ss\the\thversion}

It takes the system date and format as input. So I was using Windows 10
OS settings to format the date how I preferred it, in the case, d Mmm YYYY.
Seems that Windows 11, my new OS does not have the ability to format the
system date in manner(s) that I find useful.
Is there a way for Therion to take the date provided by the OS and
reformat it?
Think I recall someone did offer up something a little cumbersome, but
it escapes me just now. Anyway, perhaps there is a better way today?
(Run Therion in a Win10 VM?)
