Searching based on file date?
« on: September 10, 2004, 08:07:28 am »

Is it possible to create a Smartlist that will search for files that are newer than a specified date? I can't find that criteria in the help file. I'm looking for a keyword something like [Date Last Modified].

What I want to do is create a smartlist that will allow me to create a list of new files, or files that have had tag changes since the date of my last backup.

This would allow us to use MC natively for incremental backups.

Thanks in advance.

Michel.

Update:

I can modify my View Scheme to include "Date Modified" so I can do what I want, but I would prefer to be able to access this keyword from a Smartlist.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Bump... :-)

Can "Date Modified" be used in a Playlist?

Thanks.

So far i've been able to add column named "Modified Ago" with an expression such as FormatDate([Date Modified], elapsed)
This will result in the xxx.x days kind of format. But I can't figure out how to get smartlist to include a range of files wich had being modified within last x days only. We need help from someone more experienced...

Try a smarlist with this field
[Date Imported]=<=342560 [Media Type]=[Audio]

for the numerical value 1440 equals one day so in the example above divide 342560 by 1440 and that will be the number of days ago to present you will get.

For some reason this doesn't work with [Date Modified]
