Find images created on a saturday

Post by luckylad »

I'm looking for a way to search images that are created/modified on a Saturday. I found the option dm:saturday but this only gives me results from this weeks Saturday.

Is there a way I can search for all images created/modified on any Saturday?

dm-week-day:



Everything 1.5 will have support for the following search to find images modified on a Saturday:

image: WEEKDAY($dm:)==7


$dm: = Date Modified
use $dc: for Date Created

I must read posts before experimenting with them :mea culpa:.

I tried the search string as shown and got zero results. I checked my filters ("Everything"), tried "Picture". Nothing.
Searched the support pages (nothing).
Removed the "image:" and found DOCuments; applied "Picture" and found images.

Came back here to lodge a complaint :grin: and noticed that you had typed "WILL" in there somewhere.

Thank you.
Yours in eager anticipation
Chris :)

image: will only work for fresh installations.

I think you will most likely still have the old pic: filter.

Thanks for tjhis response, David.
I am running Version 1.5.0.1383a (x64)

This is the version available (5 minutes ago) on https://www.voidtools.com/everything-1.5a/
Please and thank you, how do you define a “fresh installation”?

Code: Select all

pic: WEEKDAY($dm:)==6
“pic:” works for me right now, thank you.
Perhaps “fresh” means “upcoming; please be patient” (smile)
Thanks again, Chris.
P.S. Truth be told, I snagged the example for the neat way it dealt with "Saturday" and the Weekday function :clapping: C

"fresh install" = no previous installation.
To perform a fresh install (not recommended):
Uninstall Everything (warning: this will delete all your settings, filters, bookmarks etc.)
reinstall Everything



To reset your filters (not recommended):
In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize filters..
Click Reset Filters. (warning: this will delete your existing filters)
Click OK.



I will look into adding a hard-coded image: macro for the old picture filter when the image filter doesn't exist.

For now, please manually add an Image filter:
In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters...
Change the Name to: Image
Change the Search to: pic:
Change the macro to: image
Click OK.

I installed the latest version and it works perfectly, thanks.

Surely.
But I am using '83a (image in earlier post in this thread) which is four version numbers BEYOND 79a.
Hence my confusion!
Cheers, Chris

Everything 1.5.0.1384a adds a hard-coded image: macro for the old Picture filter.

I also added the following short hard-coded aliases:

img: => image:
aud: => audio:
vid: => video:

These hard coded aliases can be overwritten with macros.



WEEKDAY() is now 1 based like Excel.

To find images modified on a Saturday:
image: WEEKDAY($dm:)==7
