File timestamping in Ekos

Hi,
To workaround the lack of a system clock on the RPi, I use the NMEA GPS indi driver (associated with an android app). The exact time and position are thus updated in Ekos, which is perfect.
However, file timestamping is always based on system clock.
Would it be possible to make Ekos evolve so that its internal time is taken into account in the timestamp?

So this operation requires administrative privileges but I found an "acceptable" way to do this. I updated the documentation here: indilib.org/devices/auxiliary/gps-nmea.html

The changes are pushed to GIT, but not sure when a package will be available. You need to compile it to test it now.

Thank you for your reactivity :)
I'm not sure I'm competent enough to compile the sources so I'll wait for the next release of the driver to be available.
Concerning the command "sudo setcap cap_sys_time=ep /bin/date", when should it be launched and should it be done with each new session?

It's a one-time command.
