Filter to view only files within time interval

Post by *ellymanu »

Hi,

I don't really know if this kind of request has been already made but I'd like to create a filter that allow me to view only files and only for a specific time interval. For example, I've got a folder called ''pictures'' within it I've thousand of pictures and also other folders like 2019, 2020, 2021 and so on. I would like to show all pictures from 2019 and hide directory (2019, 2020, 2021).

Is there a way to do that ?

Thank you.

Regards

Take a closer look on the Search window and the [Advanced] tab.

After the search use the [feed to listbox] button.

As said by stefan2, you can create a search expression like "From2019".
Use Ctrl+F12 key and click define
- go to advanced select file date as you want.
- go to load save and give the name that best suit your needs(i.e From2019)

Then you can use this filter in tabs using same custom filter key (Ctrl+F12 key).
To hide folder, it is a bit more complicated as you cannot use exclusion filter mixed with "advanced" filter. (>From2019 |\) do not work :(

You can use a button with 3 commands 3302,2023,3304 (https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=26153 bofoo post)
Or you can uses a temporary exclusion list *\ in dedicated NoFolder.txt
