The bug

When creating an album from photos taken at the end of the month, it's possible for the displayed date range to extend beyond the last photo. This probably happens, because the date range does not account for the different time-zone.

Reproduction steps

  1. Set time-zone to something different (for me GMT+2)
  2. Upload image that was taken at the end of a day at the end of a month (e.g. 11pm)

@C-Otto commented on GitHub (Jan 25, 2025):

Confirmed in v1.125.2. The photos are shown with the local date (assets.localDateTime), whereas the album date range uses the photos' UTC date (assets.fileCreatedAt or exif.dateTimeOriginal). The UTC date/time might be on a different date than the local time, depending on time zone offset details, which causes this issue.
