#6743: Time zone preview inaccurate ---------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: Disreali | Owner: leavengood Type: bug | Status: in-progress Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Preferences/Time & Date | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ---------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by zooey): Replying to [comment:4 leavengood]: > I think Oliver is right in that if the hardware clock is set to local time then that is your time, and setting the time zone isn't really needed. But I never said that: of course it is '''important''' to set the time zone, as otherwise the times written to filesystems (usually in UTC) would use the wrong offset. Many networking apps will show incorrect times, too, if the timezone hasn't been set correctly. > Now the question is how to best handle that without confusing users. The preview is certainly misleading in that case so maybe it should just be hidden as Axel says? > > I'll take ownership nonetheless. Thanks, I'd be all for hiding the preview in case of the BIOS clock being set to local time. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6743#comment:5> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
