Firstly, in manage power filters i have added a custom option to show files modified in the last 5 hours, and now if i press the button which toggle's for the files modified in the last 5 hours,i get results -- which were modified 2 days before.

And if i toggle for the default 3 hours setting ,it's working correctly.

Show the power filter definition and the files with their last modified date?

Don,you can reproduce the bug in this way --

Firstly for example,download 3 or 4 picture's from flickr or any other site and wait for 2 days,afterwards in manage power filters create a filter --to show files modified in the last 5 hours,then press the toggle visual filter and then you will come to know.

It would help if you could show the filter definition...

And now you take a really close look on the filter definition until you find the double quote that is causing it...

Moving it to questions and answers...

The space in "age M" might not be wanted either.
Duplicating a working one and just change what needs changing usually helps in avoiding both typos and surprises. :whistle:

Try this:

Code: Select all

"5 Hours|Modified In The Last 5 Hours" ageM: <= 5 h

@Don -- It's still filtering improperly,even after using your "try this".

And we are now guessing how exactly "improperly" looks like with your files / folders?

To get further help with this I think it would be good if you show a screenshot of the following again:

Press Ctrl+J and enter Don's "try this" (take screenshot of this dialog including the text)

then straight after:

Show file list that is displayed "improperly" (take screenshot)
