There seems to be some bogus returns of the hours from time shell properties (via the various methods of retrieval eg. property()), this may only apply to my locale I am not sure, but for example I get the hours between these 2 properties (and other time date ones, like DateModified etc) to be always returned incorrectly for shell props, whereas XY special props shows the correct values. (I don't mean the formatting) eg,

text report("{Name}<crlf>{prop:System.Photo.DateTaken}<crlf>{prop:#image.datetaken}<crlf 2>", 1);

The bottom hour value is the "correct" one, maybe UTC offset isn't being applied?

I can confirm this, I get the below with UTC+10:

The same issue is also true for prop:WhenTaken. I noted that somewhere deep down in the change log:

Code: Select all

v11.30.0104 - 2012-06-17 15:15
      ...
      Note that the numeric property identifier "#25" is preferred to 
      the verbal "WhenTaken" because the latter returns the time in UTC 
      (Coordinated Universal Time) instead of local time -- a mysterious 
      shell anomaly.

I could silently correct this anomaly, however, that might break old user code... hmmm...
