[jira] [Commented] (DIRSTUDIO-845) "Friendly" time not displaying correctly

["Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-845?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13493029#comment-13493029 ] 

Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot commented on DIRSTUDIO-845:
--------------------------------------------------

Where are you located? Australia maybe?

20121108144205Z can be decomposed as this:
- 2012 => YYYY
- 11 => MM
- 08 => DD
- 14 => hh
- 42 => mm
- 05 => ss
- Z => /!\ UTC Time /!\

So, Studio will "convert" this UTC based time to a friendly version *based on your current timezone*.

If you live in Australia or in a country with a UTC+11 timezone, then the conversion is correct.
If you don't, then there must probably be a bug.

> We have a piece of photocapture software that takes a photo and adds it to our eDirectory tree along with the date the photo was taken. The format it uses to store the date in is the following: 20121108144205Z (yyyyddmmhhmm??Z). Apache takes this date and converts it to a more user friendly version but this date is off by +11 hours as below.
> 9/11/2012 1:42:05 (20121108144205Z)
