Rainlender sync bug - daylight savings

Beitrag von dub.doctor »

Firstly, thanks for the excellent software! Now I can fully ditch Outlook.

I've noticed a small bug with the new (fabulous) Rainlender sync - if your phone has Daylight Savings time set to "on" the Rainlender sync doesn't pick this up, so the calendar times are all an hour out in Rainlender. Yet the times are all correct in MPE.

ie. an event on the phone (and in MPE) from 10.00 to 11.00 will show up in Rainlender as being from 11.00 to 12.00.

Any easy way to fix this?

[I'm using MPE 1.5.4 with my SE w700i connected via USB, together with Rainlender lite 2.0 (b25) .]

Summertime is different in each state in Australia. Wikipedia is your friend:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Australia
Australian time zones during daylight saving time

Only the states and territories in the south east of the country (South Australia, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and Tasmania) observe daylight saving time. This has resulted in three time zones becoming five for half the year. South Australia follows Australian Central Daylight Time (ACDT, UTC+10:30) and the south eastern states follow Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT, UTC+11).

Of the states that observe daylight saving, most begin on the last Sunday in October at 2:00 am local standard time, and end on the last Sunday in March at 3:00 am local daylight saving time. An exception to this is the island state of Tasmania, which (due to its southern latitude) begins daylight saving earlier, on the first Sunday in October at 2:00 am local standard time.

Yes and no.
Yes - Daylight savings time in Australia is from October to March.
No - it is certainly not winter here at the moment. Today was beautiful and sunny in Melbourne. But it is your winter time, isn't it. (I know - I have spent some cold winters in Berlin).

Are you actually investigating the bug or am I just giving you a geography lesson?
