Hi all, I had a question from a user about the best way to record timestamps in HDF5. I understand that the H5T_TIME datatype is not supported/is not portable (as mentioned in http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5T.html#Datatype-GetClass); so is there a portable way to save timestamps? Or is it "roll your own"?
Specifically, does HDFView have something it considers/displays as a datestamp? In particular, say I have some compound dataset with one element being a timestamp, and I want to scroll down to find a particular time, what type should I use to make that easy? Obviously a Unix time integer is one solution, but not a particularly user-friendly one. Cheers, Martijn
