Re: Patch! Change Time(zone) function

["Bengt Thuree" <bengt thuree com>]

Hej

I will look into if I can add a way to set the date as well in my small
function.

But I beg to differ, regarding the timezone issue.
If you stay all the time in the same timezone, I agree with you.
But if you regurarly travel to other timezone, then I bet that there will
be problems with the time.
Larry tried to explain to me why there would be no issue, but for the
moment I do not understand why there will not be a problem.

If you travel to another timezone 5 hours away.
1) takes photos and go home - do not change the time in the camera.
2) takes photos and go home - Change the time in the camera.
3) takes photos and upload them to f-spot in the country you are
    a) changed time in Camera
    b) changed time in laptop
    c) changed time in camera and laptop
    d) did not change time

So far I think there will be a problem with all cases except 2 and 3c
