Improvement suggestion

Hi,

I was filtering the call log in the All view when I noticed what looked like duplicates in the call log: the incoming/outgoing direction, name, timestamp, number and direction, all seemed to be the same! Until I noticed that the timestamp was not exactly the same.

In my case, there was a five hour discrepancy. For instance, when I selected and exported what I thought then were duplicate entries, I had this in the Time field of the CSV file:

Code:

"19/03/2025 15:38:00"
"19/03/2025 10:38:00"

Since I traveled a few timezones west in the weeks after these entries, I suspect this was caused by a timezone change. I can't blame this on the phone or on the computer. Possibly, both systems could have contributed to this if my supposition is true.

However, I have a suggestion that may make MPE immune to this risk of duplicate entries in the call log: is it possible to store the timestamp in a chosen timezone?

If technically possible, it would make MyPhoneExplorer even more robust to one of the most infamous issues in software development I've met professionally: timestamp management and conversion.

What do you all think,

Setting the time zone has been requested several times in the forum, but FJ is unlikely to implement it in the foreseeable future because the change is very time-consuming.
