Last year there was a discussion on date, time, and timezones in QGIS. Back then the discussion was that QGIS uses the QDateTime object which supports timezones, but QGIS does not expose timezones anywhere. This I understand because time zones are the ultimate pain.
I recently released a "Date/Time Tools" plugin ( https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/datetimetools/) to start providing some date/time/time zone conversions and support. I was thinking of providing additional processing algorithms that would create a QDateTime field with the timezone set, but the question I have is whether a vector layer were saved to something like a GPKG would the timezone even be preserved? It wouldn't be preserved with a ShapeFile. If timezones are not preserved then the only way to provide a date, time, timezone would be as an ISO8601 string (2007-01-14T21:05:02Z or 2007-01-14T06:55:53-0800). Is there currently any work going on for time zone support in QGIS that I am unaware of? Thanks, Calvin
