My Date/Time settings in Linux Mint for First Day of Week was set at Use Locale Default (Eastern U.S.) for the first day of the week. I then changed the First Day of Week to Sunday, restarted digiKam and the first day of the week didn't change; still starts on Monday. No matter, just some observation.</span></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="size" style="font-size:126.56%;"></span><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="size" style="font-size:126.56%;">Jay</span></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div>On Wed, Apr 30, 2025, at 08:58, Steven Robbins wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div style="font-family:Arial;">On Wednesday, April 30, 2025 1:01:58 a.m. Central Daylight Saving Time Gilles </div><div style="font-family:Arial;">Caulier wrote:</div><div style="font-family:Arial;">> Hi Steve,</div><div style="font-family:Arial;">> </div><div style="font-family:Arial;">> There are no settings in digiKam for that.
