You miss the point. People arrange their life according to local time, not to time zones. Let's take another example. Suppose I have lunch every day at 12.00 local time be it winter or summer. If I take a photo at 12:45 I know I took it after lunch. If the OS interprets the time as 11:45 I think it was taken before lunch. Big difference. What you are saying implies that I should recalculate when the photo was taken taking into account winter/summer time. That is nonsense. I expect the OS to do it form me.
What I say is that the system appears to be adjusting the timestamp for display according to the current difference of timezone + daylight shift. Not according to what was valid at the time the photo was taken.
Yes. But is should not.
And this may be a side effect of VFAT handling in Linux. Or maybe not.
I am sure this is a linux vfat mount issue. Found bug reports in the meantime regarding it. Wrong timestamps on FAT32 partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/612292 Bug 802198 - Incorrect timestamps for VFAT https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802198 VFAT device mounted with wrong timestamps. https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/02/msg00255.html But I have a question: If I take a photo now and mount the card right after it (practically within the same daylight shift period) the time stamp reflects the current local time correctly (as expected). If I leave this file on the hard drive and wait for a few weeks or months until the daylight shift period has changed (for example from summer time to winter time) will the time stamp of this file be changed (shifted by an hour) on my hard drive (ext3 filesystem)? I haven't tried so I am not sure, bu I expect that the time stamp won't change after the time shift. Is this correct?
