need a script, I think

When I download files from the internet they go into a specific folder, which quickly gets quite a few files in it.
Trouble is when i go into that folder to find what I downloaded earlier - its not easy to find.
Does anyone have a scprit that could sort out any files downloaded that day - either highlight them or move them to the top or bottom of the folder so that i can see them easier.
Or does anyone have a better suggestion.
thanks

Sort the folder by created date. Save this as FVS for this folder.

Or use Find Files to search for files within your desired date range.
Which can also be saved to a Template for repeated, quick, and scripting access.

Thanks, yes I realize now that using find files works fine and probably dont need a script. Unless people have other ideas.
But for now will follow your good suggestion, thanks

I have the same need for log files.

This was my first intention too, but i wanted to have the files in alphabetic order, so i had an try with this script:
This do highlighting with TAG-#3-color the file modified in the last n minutes.
Maybe you want to see if this is something for you?
There are two settings:
$TAG_color = 3; //highlight with TAG #3 color
$AGE_minutes = 15; //highlight files with mod date older than 15 minutes (was changed to use an input box instead of hard coded value)
Code: Select all
//SETTINGS:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
setting AllowRecursion;
global $AGE_minutes, $TAG_color;
$TAG_color = 3; //highlight with TAG #3 color
//$AGE_minutes = 15; //highlight files with mod date older than 15 minutes
$AGE_minutes = input("AGE Highlighter", "Higlight files modified into the last n Minutes", 60);
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
self $File, file; setkey $File, "LastScript", "Script", "<xypath>\USER.ini"; //store this xys as last xys for reuse
//IF an file is selected THEN start from this file on, ELSE goto file No. 1
IF (getinfo("CountSelected")<1){
sel 1; //msg "Please selected one file"; sub "_LOOP";
}else{
$curitem = "<curname>"; sel a; tag; sel; sel "[$curitem]"; sub "_LOOP";
} //------------------------------------------------------------------------
"_LOOP" //Loop endless, break if reported info is nil
global $AGE_minutes, $TAG_color;
While (1){
$cur_mdate = report(" {modified}",1); //get mod date from cur file
END ($cur_mdate==''); //if mod date is nil end the script
$DiffResult = datediff($cur_mdate, , "n"); //diff (mod date <> now) as minutes
IF ($DiffResult < $AGE_minutes +1) {
Tag $TAG_color;
} //if diff is as wanted: do smtg
sel +1; //select next file
sub "_LOOP"; //call recursive myself
}

thanks Stefan will try it out and I could then link it to an icon on the toolbar.

Fixed version (spacing, only):
Code: Select all
//SETTINGS:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
setting AllowRecursion;
global $AGE_minutes, $TAG_color;
$TAG_color = 3; //highlight with TAG #3 color
//$AGE_minutes = 15; //highlight files with mod date older than 15 minutes
$AGE_minutes = input("AGE Highlighter", "Higlight files modified into the last n Minutes", 60);
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
self $File, file; setkey $File, "LastScript", "Script", "<xypath>\USER.ini"; //store this xys as last xys for reuse
//IF an file is selected THEN start from this file on, ELSE goto file No. 1
IF (getinfo("CountSelected")<1){
sel 1; //msg "Please selected one file"; sub "_LOOP";
}else{
$curitem = "<curname>"; sel a; tag; sel; sel "[$curitem]"; sub "_LOOP";
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
"_LOOP" //Loop endless, break if reported info is nil
global $AGE_minutes, $TAG_color;
While (1){
$cur_mdate = report(" {modified}",1); //get mod date from cur file
END ($cur_mdate==''); //if mod date is nil end the script
$DiffResult = datediff($cur_mdate, , "n"); //diff (mod date <> now) as minutes
IF ($DiffResult < $AGE_minutes +1) {
Tag $TAG_color;
} //if diff is as wanted: do smtg
sel +1; //select next file
sub "_LOOP"; //call recursive myself
}
