[CHANGE] Timestamps should not depend on the User's Regional Settings #34

Closed dla-kramski closed 6 months ago

dla-kramski commented 6 months ago

Currently the timestamps are dependent on the regional settings of the user executing ftrove.

The identical nsrl.db appears, for example, with filectime "2024-02-12 11:25:11.280858018 -0400 AST" (time zone Bermuda) or "2024-02-12 16:25:11.280858018 +0100 CET" (time zone Berlin) - at least in an export (did not look into the DB directly).

For a correct numerical evaluation, all timestamps in all sessions should have a uniform basis.

If necessary, a time zone option can be introduced to give the user a choice (perhaps including the value "auto" or "local" to restore the current behavior).
