Is this the command to be entered in the set Visual Filter for files modified in the last 3 minutes -- "3 Mins|Modified In The Last 3 Mins" ageM: <= 3 m

If not what is to be entered in the set visual filter ?

Hi and welcome,

"n" is for minutes:

Code: Select all

"3 Mins|Modified In The Last 3 Mins" ageM: <= 3 n

Check the attributes of the files.

If I'm right you should look for created, not modified.

If you're using XY's own custom copy, then go to Tools -> Configuration -> File Operations.
Open "Configure" under Custom Copy Operations. and uncheck "Preserve all item dates".

In the address bar you can just type:

Code: Select all

|ageM: <= 3n
Or you can use View | Tab | Set Visual Filter... to show the Set Visual Filter dialog where you only have to enter:

Code: Select all

ageM: <= 3n
If you want to store this visual filter in the catalog, MRU list, or give it a comment/caption to remind you what it does, then right before the ageM include a string within double-quotes like so:

Code: Select all

"Modified in last 3 minutes" ageM: <= 3n
If you want to instead see those items CREATED in the last 3 minutes change ageM to ageC.


Also, this isn't a chat room, sometimes it takes some time before someone sees your post. No need to bump it and ask for status updates every 30 minutes.

@qwerty -- I used your command for files created in 3 minutes,but it is also listing files which were created in 10-12 minutes back. There seems to be a bug.

For CREATED use this:

Code: Select all

ageC: <= 3n
ageM is for MODIFIED.

Can you post a screenshot of the filtered list showing the wrong results?

Did you have a look at the time attributes of the files that shouldn't be displayed? Were they as should be expected?
