IN QGIS 2.18 when using the Crayfish plugin and loading a netcdf (which defines it time relative to some offset point) there is an option to display the "Absolute Time". (in contrast to "Relative Time") see screenshot.

In QGIS 3 there is only the relative time.

It would be nice to have the Crayfish option also in QGIS3.

Note for others: in netcdf for example you define your timeslices as "Years from 1 jan 2010" for example. You then see 1,2,3,4 for data 2011-2014.

note that fully support of reference time is blocked by upstream MDAL issue https://github.com/lutraconsulting/MDAL/issues/100

Thanks for the improvement. A couple of further improvements:

• the default for absolute time should be the current time rather than 2019-01-01
• the time widget only allows setup of day, not time.
