[feature] Enhance time with specific time/date and timezone conversion

Open presianbg opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

Thanks for the awesome extension!

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently its not possible to convert specific time/date in given timezone to system's time/date.

Describe the solution you'd like

By typing the 08:00 CEST will return - 9:00:00 EEST (EEST is my current system timezone).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Terminal command - date -d "08:00 CEST" or online tools / webpages

Cheers, PY

Hello,

Currently I am a little busy and I don't know when I will be able to focus into implementing this due to work/school etc.

I just want to make this clear. You are interested in converting between timezones right?

The problem with that is that timezones are usually refered to as Europe/Paris or America/Vancouver or something along those lines. To convert CEST to EEST for example we would need the timezone information in the database (I think it does not exist now) or somehow to convert the name CEST to a timezone then convert it to EEST.

I think this exists in python via pytz or some library (I need to check that). If this is to be implemented I won't be using OS specific commands as I want this to work on Windows, MacOS and Linux.

As always I welcome PRs about this.

Might take a while before I start working on the project since I developed it when I had spare free time.

Cheers, tchar
