- Add --no-quicktime-utc flag for cameras that store local time in QuickTime UTC field

bogdan committed a week ago
Some GoPro models/firmware store local time in QuickTime:CreateDate instead of UTC. Without this flag, the importer applies UTC-to-local conversion and produces timestamps shifted by the timezone offset (e.g. +3h for EEST), causing wrong dates in filenames.
