[Solved] file:dm:past1days question

Post by w64bit »

1. use file:dm:past1days to find the newest files
2. FILE.txt is listed
3. keep Everything opened
4. open FILE.txt, make some changes and save it
5. FILE.txt disappear from the list. Refreshing F5 does not help. You have to enter again the command to display it on the list.
Is this the correct behavior?

Yes, prev, last or past prefix will set a date/time range up until the current time of the search.
Any new files modified after the time of the search will not match file:dm:past1days.

I'll experiment with making prev, last or past prefix (when a count is included) include all new files modified after specified time.

<prev/last/past> <x> <years/months/days/hours/minutes> was implementation the same as <prev/last/past> <year/month/week/day>.
It doesn't make sense for <prev/last/past> <year/month/week/day> to match dates and times greater than the specified time. However, it does make sense for <prev/last/past> <x> <years/months/days/hours/minutes>.

For now, you can do this by specifying >= in your dm: search:
file:dm:>=past1days

Thanks for your question.

I've changed <prev/last/past> <x> <years/months/days/hours/minutes> to match any time in future.
