That's what I was suggesting in my former email as well. Using a user
selected timezone for displaying local times. The user selected timezone
can be set by default e.g. the time zone of your computer or it can be
selected for a bunch of photos via the "adjust time" dialog or
automatically via GPS position.

I want to implement it as an extension, but I don't have the time right
now. Maybe next month. Everyone is welcome to implement the idea, I'll
gladly assist.

Cheers
Jan
