In this case, since you have the timestamp as part of the data,
it will automatically add it on.

If you download the nightly build, you'll see we changed some things.
There is now a separate field for formatting the in-display label
in the Edit->Properties dialog for the DisplayControl.  You can also
set this as the default for that particular type of display or all
displays.  Now, the time stamp will only show in the label if the
timestamp macro (%timestamp%) is in the In Display Label field.  
It also allows you to put it anywhere in the label as opposed to
just at the end.

Feedback is appreciated!  Let us know what you think of the new
features described above.
