Filter for future

[Black Dog]

[face=courier]Found this in Templar Archives, hello eForum :).

Though Commander's filters are far from perfection (no RE support, fixed 259 symbols length, inability to use "Search in" field and paths in "Search for" field, absence of KBD shortcuts redefining, etc.) this is the powerful instrument, still amazing me sometimes.
The situation I'm talking about is rather curious though rather trivial. The millenium digit of file date can be changed to the next one but two last digits stays normal, so with only two year digits in the date such a file can be rather confusing.
This is not a big deal but I have time color filter for the files not older one hour. The point is such a files can stay one hour old for years (or millennia) and I've download such a file recently. So I've decided to make a color filter for this "files from the future" to locate them instantly.
You see, the thing I really like in Commander is you can't find some features description anywhere. For example, this is the part from HELP, describing the file "age":

__________transmission_from_clipboard_____________

Not older than: Allows to specify how old the file can be.

_______________end_of_transmission________________


So you should decide yourself how old is the file one minute younger than present moment. I guess, if the present moment is 0 minute old it is -1. Ok. I type "-1" to the "Not &older than:" field, name the filter "future" and save it. And the most funny thing it works.
I proud of you, Christian, your logic is perfect.[/face]

Well, as this seems to be a "tip" you could send it to wouter for him to enhance our rich TC tips section at bearfacts2.com/forum .

No, it's just an attempt to prove that TC "Find files" dialog is not as poor as you can think after the first look on it %).

Well, why don't you send it yourself?

Because
1. It's your tip.
2. It's easier for me to bother you than to send it myself.

Yeah, too little flames and I miss Thomas1274...

And that is you who wanna send something somewhere %).

I'm almost twice older ergo almost four times lazier :))).
