Totally understandable. In my opinion time functions shall be implemented, if they are not, in Emacs generally, not only Org specific. This is good for review as related to PostgreSQL database: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Don%27t_Do_This#Don.27t_use_timestamp_.28without_time_zone.29 Analogously it would be best that Org becomes time zone aware. It would mean that timestamps become time zone aware. Something like this: <2023-01-15 Sun +1> When timestamp becomes time zone aware, then as preliminary option it would be possible to update all the timestamps in an Org file for personal use. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
