Search for new files

[jdev21]

How can I search for files in all current subfolders that are no older than 7 days? Is this possible?

[highend]

ctrl + f
date tab
in the last 7 day(s)

and if you don't want to list folders:
attribute tab
[x] not directory

Thank you. Is it possible to do this as a command for the catalog?

Yep.
First open the Find fails pane, and click "Reset Filters"
then setup the find tabs as directed.
Now open Menu > Edit > Search Templates.
click "Save template", and give it a descriptive name. Suppose the name was "files_last_7days"
Now add a new catalog entry, and put this in for "Location"

Code: Select all

::loadsearch "files_last_7days", 'r';

Since Quick Search also supports search by date there is an easier way:

Code: Select all

?ageM: <= 7 d /r

It will search the current location recursively (= including subfolders) for items 7 days old or younger.

Here's the Catalog item for the job:

Perfect. Thank you both.
