Advanced search - custom date range: day + month, no year?

Post by *Tim58 »

I'm trying to create a search to locate files that date from a certain time frame, but not restricted by year. For example I want to find all images that have a timestamp between November 1 and November 30, but for all previous years. So I set up:
  • General tab - Search for : *.jp*g *.png *.tif* *.psd

    Advanced tab: Date between 01/11/**** and 30/11/****
Something is working because it does actually find a couple of files that were created in November, but only in November 2000. It doesn't seem to matter how high or low I go in the directory tree, it always just goes and finds those same files.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Of course you can't use such masks in time fields of search dialog, so I think you get some accidental result.

I think you could try two things:
1. Find WDX plugin that has fields for year, month, day separately.
2. Try to build desired field using SuperWDX plugin and filter its strings using regex.
