Can I select items highlighted by color filter

1. As I have toggle the color filter on, how can I select all these highlighted files at one time?
2. Is there any command to filter files by date modified or size at Address Bar? such as quick search, visual filter and etc.
( Of course I know it's easy to get it at Find Panel )
Another question just like above:
I want to add a catalog item for this: List items modified before 3 days.
I do like this:
- create a search template and save it
- create a catalog item
- use the script command ::loadsearch "template-name"
Is there any EASY or DIRECT way to archive it?
Hope for your help.

The selfilter-command should enable both like so:

AFAIK the only two ways to filter are Visual Filters (which only supports filtering on file name, but can be set from the address bar) and Search Templates (which you're already using).

Thanks for your reply, but I think ::selfilter command may be useless.
I use color filter just for ageM property.
After I toggle this filter on, some files will be highlighted with bgcolor, I just want to select them all.
That's my question.

Wrong colour, sorry.
selfilter can, according to the help file, select based on date modified as well, but only based on the exact value, which you don't seem to be able to substract from (e.g. <date> -3d)?

Hi and welcome!
3 times "no" I'm afraid.

OK and thanks to you all.
It's not a big question for normal use, so don't mind it.

Number 2 (and the catalog request) should be possible with scripting and aliases.
It would depend on what type of input and flexibility you had in mind.
A properly crafted SelFilter could be followed by #359 (View / Tab / Filter By Selection(s)) to achieve this if basing your queries on the displayed information in the columns is possible.
Otherwise, you could use report and then check the values within a loop to determine which items to include in the filter. This approach would be a lot easier if the Report date templates included the ability to format as age with specific units.
Got some examples of the type of filters you wish to apply?
