Bruce, I primarily use a Windoze machine on which the times match the
times on the camera body, including time zone. No problem with
darktable keeping the time straight. The same photos pulled into a
Ubuntu Linux machine again show the same time. I have to wonder if
you have the right time zone set into your camera and both Windoze and
Linux Mint? On my machines, time zone is in the O/S, not the BIOS.
Might be a good idea to check the time zone settings in your O/Ss.

OK, I think I understand what you said Nick. :)
I also tried some of those ls switches on my own memory card and was
able to replicate your results. Of course, mine are all +11, not -5,
but that's to be expected.
But where does that leave us?
Is this a dt issue that the devs can fix?
Or is it a linux issue?
Thing is, because I dual boot with windoze 10, I do recall that I
had to do some strange offset thing in linux because windoze can't
handle time zones the way linux does. I'd have to go and look up what
it was that I had to do to get both windoze and linux to display the
correct time zone, but I vaguely recall it required allowing windoze
to retrieve the time zone info from BIOS, and then applying some kind
of offset in linux to compensate.
Whether any of that is related to this dt issue or not, I'm not sure.
Although I suspect not, based on your ls results.
Cheers,

Hi Bruce,
In the early 2000s when installing a Linux Distro, the software would
ask you whether you wanted to use BIOS time or UTC. I think that
question is answered in the install process by asking you to nominate
your City and timezone. I had my last BSOD in 2000. And after that some
very happy years with Mandrake/Mandriva.
Cheers
