If this extension does not work, please check the followings:

• The Line Limit setting is 20 lines from the beginning of the file by default, so it may be too small for your file.
• There is also the setting of the target file name (Filename Pattern), and .vscode/settings.json is ignored by default.
• This extension does not work if your VS Code Auto Save setting is afterDelay.

You can change the time stamp format and timezone with the following settings:

• The time stamp format can be changed with luxonFormat.
  • See: Formatting (Luxon)
• The timezone can be set with luxonTimezone.
  • See: Time zones and offsets (Luxon)
  • The default value is system which means the system's local timezone.

If you try to handle many situations with only setting values, the patterns may become complicated. VS Code's standard features allow you to change the settings per project and per language. Please use them together.

Depending on the situation, this extension seems not to be found in the VS Marketplace search. In that case, please install from the above.
