Hi Brendon-
The timezone is a global setting for the IDV by design. It's like
setting the timezone for you OS - it applies to everything you run.
However, if you just want to use it for labelling through isl, that
might be possible because a label could be formated with a particular
timezone passed in. It would not apply to the default display list
labels, but you could add your own labels that could be formatted
appropriately. That would require some coding, but, I agree it would be
a useful feature.

Hello,
Is there a way to specify the time zone to be used in an individual
bundle, without changing user preferences? Can this be done via an ISL
script with some sort of <property> or <idvproperty> tag? We would like
to auto-generate maps with timestamps from multiple timezones (UTC,
EST/EDT, etc), but the only way we can find to do this is to change user
preferences. This would mean we would have to setup an individual
account for each timezone to run the bundles we wish to display, which
gets gangly. Looked in the ISL documentation for ways to set the
timezone but couldn't find anything specific.
Thanks,
Brendon
