I seem to remember having tried this option and having had issues due to timezones.

Since the timezone used in toISOString is UTC, this can cause issues depending on the time of day and the timezone of the user. See this for more info.

I'll do a fix mostly working date offset in-case in fall in the wrong date

Either that it I can do a alternate change which starts the month from 1 so that it doesn't break

Thanks! I think the fix should work, now it's just a matter of removing the lines where we use toISOString and instead always use the getDate method.

@argenos
Fix batch export issues
b46d53d 
Time zones were fixed in #67, but were incorrectly
using the `date` field instead of `dateAdded`.
The metadata export was incorrectly trying
to get timezone information from the Date field
which can contain partial information only.

Most likely fixes #80 and #13
