Is there any way to make gphotos-sync consider my timezone? It appears that when downloading my photos, gphotos-sync is recording the UTC time from Google Photos into the modified field, even though my timezone isn't UTC. So the times end up being wrong

I was under the impression that this should work.

Do the dates look different between google photos web interface and your local filesystem?

I am prone to make mistakes in this because I happen to live in GMT so my own photos don't generally have a problem!

Yeah, for example, here's the date of a photo on Google Photos:

And here's the same photo synced to my local machine (which is AET, currently GMT+11) with gphotos-sync:

Thanks for the example - I'll take a look at this. As we are in British Summer Time right now it should be easier to diagnose for me.
