You could put a flag in the file that gives the timezone the file is in. Say #+TIMEZONE: ... or something. Then write a function that will convert all the timestamps in the file from the timezone in the #+ option to the current timezone and update the #+ to reflect the new timezone. Org-mode wouldn't even have to be aware of this. You could call it from a hook when you open org-mode files. If there is no timezone specification you don't convert the file. It could probably be an extension. Edd ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

The only time I have to worry about converting TZ is when I'm entering a date & time into the calendar. Would it be possible for the calendar / date prompt to convert from one TZ to the current? ie: Wed 09:00 EST would automatically convert to Wed 08:00 (implied CST, where I am). Perhaps this is an easier fix.

If yu travel, you will also be in different time zones when you write down appointments, sometimes you might have changed the time zone on your laptop, sometime not. I can think of a number of ways how this can go wrong. So for now: No action. - Carsten On Aug 25, 2008, at 5:40 PM, Russell Adams wrote: > On Thu, Jan 17, 2008 at 10:06:41AM -0600, Russell Adams wrote: >> Would it be practical to extend the time format to include TZ data >> (ie: -06:00 ?).

If on entry the date is specified with another timezone (ie: 9:00 EST) then it is converted to current TZ. The conversion logic is one way to a fixed TZ. Its not a critical feature, but I thought that was a good workaround. Org-mode video coming soon! Thanks.
