Color by modification date is not working

[texttok]

Hello!

18.02.2022 I installed fresh version of tcmd from off.site.

I am a newbie and I am trying to set colors for different types of files. It works fine with file extensions BUT when I am trying to set color by MODIFICATION DATE it is refusing to work.

So what I do:

1. Go to the Search and set the rule >00:09:00 — it is minutes. Then to the color options and setting a color to this rule.

Does not work.

2. Go to the wincmd.ini and check [searches]. It looks like this:

<00:09:00_SearchFlags=0|002002000020||||||||22221|0000|||

So I am setting it like this:

<00:09:00_SearchFlags=0|002002000020|||9|-1||||22221|0000|||

As I understand "-1" means minutes.

Still does not work though.

Where did you "set the rule >00:09:00" ? On "plugin" tab? Modification date or time? It is mean "modified 9 minutes after midnight" NOT "9 minutes old"!
For 9 minutes old files use "Advanced" tab. Works perfectly. If you want set this for all extensions move it to the top of the rules - "first match wins" here.
If you expect help write more info!
What you really want to achieve?
If you can make screeshot and post on image share site, write link as a text without https:// part as you are new and you cannot post links.

BTW: what you mean by "off.site."? Site other than ghisler.com ?

Most likely means "official site".

I want to see files I modified in last 9 minutes in a particular color.

Off.site = Official site, i.e. ghisler.com

Where did you "set the rule >00:09:00" ?

Alt+F7 → "Advanced" Checkbox "v" on Attribute, then checkbox "v" on "directory", other like this: ■ → "Plugins" "writetime" "<" "00:09:00"

For 9 minutes old files use "Advanced" tab. Works perfectly.

Tried

Alt+F7 → "Advanced" Checkbox "v" on "ATTRIBUTES", other like this: ■

multiple times. Then to colors. Does not work.

If you want set this for all extensions move it to the top of the rules - "first match wins" here.

How do I move it to the top?

You wrote you want to see FILES but set checbox on DIRECTORIES?!

Just set "Not older than 9 minutes" on "Advanced" tab!

To move item just drag&drop or use Up\Down arrows with SHIFT

Yes, to be honest I am not familiar with the concept. I just followed guides from Web. I don't really know what do these checkboxes mean and will be obliged if someone explains them to me.

Just set "Not older than 9 minutes" on "Advanced" tab!

It works. Thank you very much!

In the "color" rules or in the "search"?

[Gral]

On "Define colors by file type" window.

Look here -> http://gral.y0.pl/tc/tc_colors.htm

Works perfect here as Gral said.
You can let the field Search for under General empty
and only define "Not older than:" under Advanced tab.
This way it works for files and dirs.

Thank you all for the answers. But why ATTRIBUTES have different types of checkboxes: " ■" and "v"?

Attributes can have 3 states:
- Ignored
- Set
- Not set

Attributes can have 3 states:
- Ignored
- Set
- Not set

What is the difference between "not set" and "ignored"?

[Stefan2]

- Set = find files if they have this attr set
- Not set = find files which must not have this attr
- Ignored = find files but the attr doesn't matter / Whatever set or not set

Okay, there is new issue now.

When I use Ctrl+D to add directory to hot list, "Desktop" appears by itself in this list but that is not the worst part: when I click on it no passage to the desktop is performing.

What has this to do with the subject of this thread ?
To get a Desktop entry in the Hotlist make an entry like this
cd ::

Nothing, but is that a right thing to do creating the whole new theme to ask one question?

Like this: cd :: Desktop?
