Daylight saving time

Post by ivan.ulens@vcst.be »

Is there a method to bypass the monitoring of files on Time-change by the Daylight saving time? I have several Tasks monitoring if the Time changed. Yesterday they run at the moment of Daylight saving time. Thanks.

Unfortunately no.
File monitor uses local system time to check filetime. If computer changes time zone then local filetime has been changed too.

I want to bump up this topic. I'm missing a "Every year" method in de Scheduler as a trigger. In our use-case, the Daylight Changing Time is crucial, although it happens just twice a year.
Ofcourse, I can set the scheduler to do every month and only tick the applicable dates for this year. But, this means that next year the task will be executed as well, but the dates can alter every year. Is this possible?

In fact: the scheduler should have a input field with just a list of fixed dates, including year. That's all. Unless you have a better, brilliant idea.
