Maybe I missed something obvious
or this maybe this already can be accomplished by using scripting? or using a RegExp VF? but I would like to be able to set a VF on folder by date.
Code: Select all
Syntax something...
Folder | datemodified="date"
Examples:
Desktop | datemodified=<curdate>
Desktop | datemodified=2008-01-31
Desktop | datemodified=2008-01-30:2008-01-31

Nope, you didn't miss anything : this cannot actually be done (although it'd be nice). You can use any column on your Selection Filter (Ctrl+M) but not as VF, which i think has to do with the List being already filled for the former, while getting filled for the later, hence some extra info (ie. other columns) not known at that time...

Sad it isn't doable at the moment...
Don,
But later on this would be a nice addition IMHO.
Doesn't this sounds great! Make your own "VF by date udc" so that you easily can have you own auto filter by date.

Yep. But as jacky said: it would mean a fundamental rewrite of some stuff...
