Select todays files

[seb-]

Hi,

i often want to select and copy files which were created $today.

There is two options i know:

1. manually select the files

2. search for files created between $date and $date - where $date == todays date.

Option 2 is quite quick, but i was wondering wether it is possible to use variables like "$today" so it is possible to save a search and use it quickly every day, maybe by menu, button or shortcut.

Using "x days old" option is not good enough, it also finds files which are created yesterday but less than 24hours old.

I couldn't find a wdx plugin that would offer this. Anyone knows an easy way to accomplish this?

This would shorten my daily "copy new photos from sd-card to laptop"-routine when travelling

thanks+br

Using "x days old" option is not good enough, it also finds files which are created yesterday but less than 24hours old.

While you were at that point, why didn't you just say e.g.:
we have it 14:00 (2 PM) now, so please search files that aren't older than 14 hours
?

I don't think that there is a wdx plugin for that special occasion,
all plugins I know of assume "one day" as "the last 24 hours".

You may try Age.
Create a custom column, select age-> [=age.Modified.Hours]
(or created if you need this).

So you now have a custom view of how many hours your files are old.
You might want to create a second column with minutes.
But still you need to calculate from the current time backwards.

This would still be manual work todo. Having a method of specifying the date only (today - without time) would solve the problem.

I want to automate it as far as i can with what TC offers...

Use plugin Today.

Interesting.
I wonder why such a plugin is neither listed on the TC site nor on totalcmd.net.
Did you code it yourself?

Thanks for the hint, but TC cant open the zip... is the file corrupt?
