           Summary: Correlator seems to adjust GPX times by local time
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: GPSSync
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rjwgnr27 at gmail.com


Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

My system is in GMT-7 timezone.  I had some pictures which I originally
imported into KDE 3.5.? version Digikam, and geolocated with the correlator
using .gpx files.  In that version, setting the timezone to GMT-7, the images
correlated correctly.

Due to a disaster of my own doing, I lost the above edits.  Fortunately, I
still had the original media.  So I took the opportunity of my disaster to
upgrade to KDE4.2 and DigiKam 0.10.0.  When I attempted to again correlate the
same images, many would not correlate; and those that did were wrong.  Looking
at the times, it seemed that the correlations were 7 hours off.  So I set the
timezone to GMT-0, and the images correlated correctly.

To double check, I took the exact same (gelocation removed) JPG's and .gpx
files back to another Fedora-8 (KDE 3.5, older digikam), and they correlated
with GMT-7.

It appears that in 0.10.0 the correlator is taking local timezone into account
when loading the GPX files.
