Extension for converting between timezones in Albert launcher

Installation

1. Locate the modules directory in the Python extension data directory.

The data directories reside in the data directories of the application defined by Qt. Hence on linux the modules would be looked up in the following directories (in this order):

~/.local/share/albert/org.albert.extension.python/modules
/usr/local/share/albert/org.albert.extension.python/modules
/usr/share/albert/org.albert.extension.python/modules

(Note: Double-clicking on a module in the settings will open the directory in the file manager.)

2. Clone this repository into your modules directory.

cd /path/to/modules

git clone https://github.com/DenverCoder1/timezone-convert-albert-ext.git

3. Ensure that dateparser is installed using pip.

python3 -m pip install dateparser

4. Enable the extension in the settings under Extensions > Python.

Usage

Type a time, followed by the word "to" or "in" and then the timezone you want to convert to.

Examples:

10pm PST to CST

8am MST in New York

You can also use "Time in..." to convert the current time to another timezone.

Time in UTC

Time in Tokyo

Configuration

In config.jsonc there are options to customize the extension:

Date format

To change the way dates are displayed, set the date_format option.

The default is %a %d %b (e.g. "Mon 12 Dec").

See https://strftime.org for a list of supported formats

Time format

To change the way times are displayed, set the time_format option.

You can use %H:%M for 24-hour time, or %I:%M %p for 12-hour time.

The default is %I:%M %p (eg. "12:00 PM")

See https://strftime.org for a list of supported formats

Remove leading zeros

Set remove_leading_zeros to true to remove leading zeros from the date/time.

Eg. Mon 01 Dec 01:00 PM becomes Mon Dec 1 1:00 PM.

The default is true.

Lowercase AM/PM

Set lowercase_am_pm to replace 'AM'/'PM' with 'am'/'pm' in time formats.

The default is true.

Timezone aliases

To add a city or abbreviation as an alias for a timezone, add it to tz_aliases as a key-value pair.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones for a list of supported timezones
