[Feature Request] Discord timestamp conversion support. about aa-fleetpings

[ppfeufer]

Unfortunately, this is not reliable, since it uses the system's timezone configuration, which can differ from the actual timezone the user is in. Doesn't work for systems with multiple configured timezones, and also doesn't work in the copy/paste text ...

uses the system's timezone configuration, which can differ from the actual timezone the user is in.

• so does the Timezone Conversion page that gets linked when installed. Also I'd like to think if someones system is running in a different timezone, the user would be aware of that.

Doesn't work for systems with multiple configured timezones

• fair, i've never encountered systems with multiple configured timezones and don't know how discord handles that.

doesn't work in the copy/paste text

• playing around with this in the additional text area, as long as its entered as HTML encoded it works for copy and paste (but obviously not the webhook ping). It should be possible to get it to work for both.
  Test <t:1659209080:F>

I'd be happy to try and add this in myself in a couple of weeks once I'm done moving house, making it a checkbox so that it can be chosen when making the ping.

I'm currently fiddling around with it, I had this on my list for quite some time but ran into a couple of roadblocks.

The TZ conversion page handles differently configured timezones much better than Discord does. Discord relies solely on the <t> tag, which the page doesn't.

Ok, let's ignore systems with multiple timezones for now. Not sure how Windows handles this, but on Linux, there is a primary timezone that is taken into account here and works quite well ...

If you like, you can test already. Let me know if it is what you had in mind
