As my search for a native unix time converter app gave no hits... I decided to create one myself.

Features:

convert unix seconds to local time and GMT time
convert local time to unix seconds
copy unix time to clipboard
show current unix/local/GMT time
background info in help page
24h and 12h display support

epoch-calc can be found in extras-devel.

Native version for SailfishOS can be found here: https://openrepos.net/content/ade/epoch-calc

Nice thing, no need for online converters anymore.

Thanks.

Yes, a nifty little app. Thanks, ade, this may come rather useful. Even having to pull 5MB worth of libraries to install a 10kB utility is worth it

I have a small "bugette" to report. In Local time, it says 2013-11-03 07:48:04 BST (British Summer Time) even though it is already winter time. Tome zone in my settings is GMT+0 and indeed, your app correctly shows the same values for Local and GMT.

Thanks for reporting. I also had a wrong current local timezone (CEST instead of CET), but failed to notice that.

Must be fixed in version 0.0.1-2 though.

Yes, 0.0.1-2 is fine. Thanks, that was quick!

You beat me to it

The only other small bug is with 12 hour clock.
The 12 on the hour side is at the top of the list.

Also switching between 12 hour and 24 hour clock doesn't update the time or the time selector until you have used it once.

I don't think so..? I assume you are testing in AM/PM mode in this case. Then that is correct. In 24h mode, "00" should be on top.

Also switching between 12 hour and 24 hour clock doesn't update the time or the time selector until you have used it once.

That is true, but I did not want to make it too fancy. Besides, what are the odds you are using this app and you suddenly want to switch from 24h to 12h notation

? You had a case with the worldclock replacement, as it is used more often and the change can be done from within that program.

By the way: it is also not possible to select seconds in the time picker. That is the limitation of the default QMaemo5timePickSelector I used. If you set the unix seconds, you will see the corresponding seconds in the GMT time display below the time picker.

Yes, AM/PM or 12 hour clock has the list "12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11"

Agreed.
