I agree, I think we are both suggesting the same thing. As far as I can tell, the dates are already stored in UTC. It's 20180720 22:29 here in PDT, and I just created a tiddler, and lookted at the timestamp in the file on disk is 201807210529 which is the time in UTC. sameday needs to make the corresponding conversion to UTC so that it's comparing like to like (and as you say, display functions needs to convert either to local time, or to an explicit timezone if thay are given one). Reading issue 2061, it seems that at least some people think that the timezone should also be stored on disk. I disagree. But it's also irrelevant because even if that change were to be made, we would still need to fix sameday etc. Storing the timezone on disk is IMHO the wrong thing to do, but I don't see how it fixes the problem by itself, and it seems that no-one can be bothered to do it anyway. So we might as well just fix sameday etc, which is easier, cleaner, and actually solves the problem. I guess I'm hoping that a dev will pipe up and either say "go ahead and make this change, we'll probably accept the patch", OR... point out the missing line of reasoning that explains why it isn't the right solution. > The view widget has the template parameter with the utc option and you can > format the same full date code to the micro second.

What does the syntax look like to run a filter on the result of the view widget?
