Description
It would be cool to have a 'last updated' column on the sources page that showed when a provider last had new images added to the API.
Currently this might not be super useful, if all provider scripts run in every refresh and the date would be the same for each one. I can't remember exactly how that is working.

Research direction
Start by tracing how provider scripts refresh images, how that timestamp could reach the API, and how the sources page displays provider data. Confirm whether refreshes currently share a timestamp; done means the sources page shows when each provider last added new images.
