Version: 1.2.0 (using KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15-smp In all the panels of KStars Calculator where UT is present, the program automatically inserts the *local time* into the UT field. For instance, I am at India UTC+0530 and I get 14:32 in all the UT boxes when 14:32 is the *local time*. Correct UT is obviously 09:02. Even when I hit the "Now" button in the Julian Day converter this error happens. This bug is easily testable by checking the ecliptic longitude of the moon (which travels fastest geocentrically). At what KStars thinks is 14:35 UT on 2006-01-12, it reports the ecliptic longitude of the moon as 92 d 32 m. The actual ecliptic longitude at that time, which is actually 09:05 UT is 89 d 05 m. This difference of three degrees is caused by the +05:30 time difference between UT and my time zone. OTOH, my calculations show that the graphical rendering part of KStars plots the moon at the correct 89 d position.
SVN commit 500721 by harris: Fixing bug 119960; partial fix of 119963 11960: All time fields in the astrocalculator now show the current UT, not local time 119963: modified the layout of the JD module, moved Convert/Clear to the bottom Increased minimum width of date fields TODO: move Now button (still considering it) update all 3 fields when Now is pressed Fix manual input in Date line edit Thanks for the report. Will port to trunk as well.
