ok so not automatic but I can still work with that. I'll make sure to tell people testing solar to please set that to the value for their region. > Sugar reports only relative times in its core GUI, so I don't know how > common it is for deployments or other users to actually change this > setting.

Grepping through my collection of 1217 power log files I only found 61 of them that had that value set to something other than GMT or UTC. Granted that most of those files where generated by me and I didn't know about that control but I also have a lot of logs from users. Thanks for the info. -- Richard A.
