I'd really like to see the option (not requiring a code) to search for a file created or modified ON a specific DATE. I'm currently using version 14.3 of the pro version...so this may have been fixed via a later version. Has it?

I believe this is what you want: "Window > Show Info Panel > Find Files > Date"

You likely want to also tick "Name" under "Applied Filters", and for "on a specific day", set the between start to the desired day at midnight, and end to "1 d".

No....what I want is attached to this file. I want to avoid having to type into 2 boxes when all I want is a specific date.

I see. You want to just choose a date, and have it automatically set the time to midnight and the end date to "1 d". Makes sense.

The way to do is like this: The "1d" is remembered so you just have to type the date to change it.

Oh...I see...about the 1d thing. That should get me by. About the TIME...I never need to find a file where TIME of creation/modification is an issue..only DATE.

Thanks. This will make xy a lot more useful for me....as long as the technique doesn't return day before and day after. I'll give it a try.

Didn't work. Will have to tinker with it again as time permits.

It really would be a lot easier to use if the box simply gave an option for ON in addition to BETWEEN....and leave off TIME altogether...or at least allow a permanent option to leave off TIME in all searches. Also...would be easier if DATE were on the same page with FILENAME and LOCATION...and DATE brought up a calendar that could be clicked instead of having to type it in. Having to hunt another tab when you're trying to do a search just adds time and frustration to the task. Not complaining. Just ideas from my perspective on how I use file handlers. I switched to xy from PowerDesk a couple years ago.

A little more info maybe...?

I find it much easier the way it is now as i can quickly isolate what filters are applied and set the desired values....and the name/Location tab is quite crowded already so no place to put it...

That's something I miss badly, too. It always takes a 3rd party tool to tell weekdays from weekends before entering a fitting date, not to mention I am much more error-prone working portable on foreign machines that have different international date formats. Every so often it takes a second go-araound after swapping mm-dd with dd-mm.
A calendar popup would solve all of these issues.
