show only file/folder today?

[zeronofreya]

I tried plugins like age but it always shows extraneous folders，
TC's Advanced search parameter "Not older than" and set it to 1 day(s) also invalid

I don't want to find a target in a bunch of irrelevant folders.

Is this possible？
This problem has been bothering me for years and there is no solution.

Try not older than 0 days.

It even shows last year's folders，so I think tc itself does not support

The following AHK script only shows files from today in the current dir.
[Edited]
If no files from today are found an empty list is shown.

Code: Select all

FileGetTime, Date, %1%
FormatTime, Date, %Date%, yyyyMMdd
Loop, Files, *.*
	SameDateFileList .= Substr(A_LoopFileTimeModified, 1, 8) = Date ? A_LoopFileName . "`n" : ""

If (SameDateFileList) then
{
	ClipboardBak = %ClipboardAll%
	Clipboard := Substr(SameDateFileList, 1, StrLen(SameDateFileList) - 1)
	PostMessage, 1075, 2033, , , ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
	;Menu "SHOW > Only Selected Files" > cm_ShowOnlySelected=2023;Hide files which aren't selected
	PostMessage, 1075, 2023, , , ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
			;cm_ClearAllFiles=3304;Unselect all files
			PostMessage, 1075, 3304, , , ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
}
else
{
	PostMessage, 1075, 2023, , , ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
}
Sleep, 1000
Clipboard = %ClipboardBak%

It seems to work when I try it. Can you give more information? Do you get wrong folders only? Files are OK? Which TC version are you using? Do you use normal search or do you use the search as a filter? Do you use Everything? Are you talking about write date or creation date?

...so I think tc itself does not support

It is supported:

1. When the unit is "days" or longer, TC assumes a corresponding time of 00:00. So for an age of 0 days, everything until the previous midnight is found.

Not older than 0 days works perfect here.
It shows files and dirs from today.

[petermad]

Searching for not older than 1 or 0 days works for a Search and shows only the folders that comply in the search result or in feed-to-listbox, but if I save that search as for excampe "notolderthan1day" and use that search ">notolderthan1day" as a file mask (Ctrl+F12) - TC only applies the mask to the files, not to tha folders. - And I think that is what zeronofreya talks about.

It is inconsistant since using a saved search like ">notolderthan1day" in "Define colors by file type" and in "Expand selection" (Num+ or Shift+Num+) does work on folders as well as files.

[petermad]

It can be accomplished this way:

Put this in the [Searches] section of your wincmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

notolderthan1day_SearchFor=
notolderthan1day_SearchIn=
notolderthan1day_SearchText=
notolderthan1day_SearchFlags=0|002002010021|||1|1|||||0000|||

Put this command in your usercmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

[em_marknotolderthan1day]
cmd=SELECTFILESB >notolderthan1day

Make this button:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
em_marknotolderthan1day,cm_ShowOnlySelected,cm_ClearAll

WCMICONS.DLL,24
Show only files and folders not older than 1 day

To make the button:
1. Mark the text in the box here above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctrl+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".

The only problem with this is that it uses TC's "Show only selected files", so the file panel is reset to normal view as soon as TC looses and regain focus.

Thanks, this works！
