If all the DST pulldown does is advancing the time by one hour, what's the
benefit of it at all? Why not simply adjust the time manually?
And if I adjust the time manually, or with Daylight Savings Hack, or with
BackupBuddy time sync, etc pp, and then select the DST pulldown (why is it a
pulldown, anyway?), will it advance one more hour? Very confusing.
The same applies for the time zone setting. From top down if I first adjust
the time, then select the correct time zone, the time will be changed.
Bummer. I have to re-adjust the time.
Why not have HotSync automatically adjust the handheld time to the desktop
time (maybe configurable in a System conduit option)? *That's* what the user
would expect, wouldn't they?
Kind regards,
Andreas
