Hi cmari The explanation is in this ticket:
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/190 The problem is that although dates and times are stored in UTC they are displayed in the users local timezone. The sameday operator also works on the local timezone. Your workaround is sound but this should be fixed. I've created a new ticket here: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1096 Best wishes Jeremy On Sat, Nov 15, 2014 at 6:58 PM, cmari <cema...@gmail.com> wrote: > For a long time I've been mystified by the fact that I could never get > correct results when I experimented with what's described in > http://tiddlywiki.com/#FilterOperator%3A%20sameday > where it says > [sameday[20140410]] Returns a list of the tiddlers modified on the 10th > April 2014. > > I am 8 hours behind UTC, and I assumed that had something to do with > things.
