How to keep dates in the "Date" tab of "Define filter"?

#1 Post by Dirk » 17.02.2014, 23:29

When I add in that window - http://i.imgur.com/TO47cIl.png - in "Between" and "and" the year e.g. 1799 and 1801 and press OK these values are not kept and there are the dates shown you can see on the screenshot, how could I make the years be kept?

It works if the files were created after the year 1900. That should be enough. :P

Thank you joby_toss,

Yes, actually I would need to hide files created before 1900 or 1950 or something like that, but "Created" each time changes to "Modified" and independently of what dates I am entering, they are not kept. What am I missing?

You're right, Created and Accessed options don't stick... I think you've found a bug.

And the date are alright? They are not kept either, if I am right.

But, instead of before 1900 or so, it works with not older than e.g. 200 years to hide these files.

"Between" option doesn't work for files older than 1900. I don't know why (maybe it was designed this way, maybe it's a bug), but I also don't see a reason why it should. Who has files that old? :)

Well, actually I do have such old files...so to say...but I cannot get the "Between" option to work at all, but anyway I can use the "Not older than" option.

Many thanks.

I wonder where you get files before year 1900.

I'm amazed that it works with years before 1970. All filesystems as far as I know use a value that some people call "unix timestamp" or "unix epoch". That is the number of seconds (or milliseconds in some platforms) since 01-01-1970 00:00:00.

Now NTFS implementation might be different. I've heard is from 01-01-1601.

Well, it is an old computer...but...actually I use these files as dummies, 0 byte files, and because of their date I can easily find / sort / hadle them, hide them etc.

I have any idea, why it is possible to use such old dates, but sometimes it might be useful.
