Re: f-spot-import and the timezone workaround

[Paul Wellner Bou <paul purecodes org>]

Hi Heiner,

Perhaps you are interested in this timezone fix branch of f-spot:

http://gitorious.org/~paulwb/f-spot/paulwbs-clone/commits/ImportTimeHandling

At the moment, it is not up to date, but I'll fast forward it those 
days. Tell me, if you want to try it.

Regards
Paul.
