"Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" option

(1/5) > >>

zaphee:
Hi.
This morning I saw that my nano didn't adjust clock for summer time.
I know that this option is useful only twice a year, but it would be nice that Rockbox could automatically adjust clock for summer time.

roolku:
I concur. It is especially bad if you have several targets.

amiconn proposed a way to implement it the last time it happened, but I fear the idea has fallen by the wayside.

JdGordon:
this come up twice a year and then dies very quickly :)

its easy to do, but its also easier to just change the clock than to code the patch and commit it :)

safetydan:
The only way this could work is if you included a time zone database and a setting to set the user's current location. Then you'd have to ensure the time zone database is kept up to date with all the crazy changes that happen to time zone rules.

JdGordon:
my feeling is that all it needs is a setting "winter time", "DST+1h", "DST+2h" which should cover everything and not need anything be kept up dated... but its hardly worth the effort
