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?
Files on your hard drive will not have the time shifted by daylight saving time changes because they are invariably written in UTC on modern distros. There are/were some file utilities that adjusted the presentation of the time, and these would show times in the future for files just written at the moments before "fall back" time, but I think this is no longer a common problem. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
