[kronolith] Timezone issue when importing Google ical files

[Erik Quaeghebeur]

Dear list,


Regarding my question about a timezone issue I encountered, Jan 
Schneider replied (Thanks!), referring to a calendar entry listed at the 
bottom:

 > The event definition is crystal clear. The event is from 3:57 UTC to

Ok, changing my 'local timezone' preference from 'standard' to my local 
timezone, I get the correct behavior. (Sorry, I should have done this 
before.)

So what does Kronolith do with the X-WR-TIMEZONE:Europe/Brussels header? 
Is it relevant at all?

Is there a way to let Kronolith get the local timezone from the OS using 
the Javascript Date() function and/or using the GeoIP database?
(I guess there can be good reasons to not do this by default.)


Best,

Erik
