But as long as the camera metadata don't retain time zone information, every solution I can think of will be messy.
Using UTC has at least the merit that it's a fairly neutral point, with no messing with DST and such. And if you ever need the local time, you can get the information needed for the correction. Needs differ of course, but I've rarely needed the exact time when an image was taken. Even when linking images to a GPS track, what I use are time differences (to get a correlation between the times recorded in the GPS track and the timestamps in the images). I don't keep my camera synchronised to any particular clock anyway (more like "set and forget"...). ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
