Bug ID: 395164
Summary: Allow user to customize timezone (time zone) names
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.12.2
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Digital Clock
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
The clock applet has a neat feature which allows the user to keep track of the
time in various timezones. The user configures this by selecting the timezones
from a list; he can then hover over the clock applet to see other timezones.
The name of a city associated with the timezone is displayed next to its time.
However, the practice of naming timezones after cities causes a great deal of
confusion. I need to keep track of the time in Houston, but there's no
timezone named "Houston"; I have to use "Chicago" instead, and then later
remember that "Chicago"=Houston when reading the widget's pop-up dialog. This
gets very annoying when one has a lot of timezones in one's list.
To solve this problem, it would be great to have feature to allow the user to
create aliases or nicknames for timezones. Therefore I can configure the clock
to display "Houston" for the Chicago timezone and "Toronto" for the New York
timezone without having to remember which city is in which arbitrarily-named
timezone.
Note 1: This bug is a reincarnation of Bug 185337.
Note 2: I'm filing this issue against the Digital Clock component, though it
probably also applies to the Analogue Clock.
