Newer than date filter

Post by lojasnascente »

Hello Luis,
When selecting a filter to only operate after a date, it is not working!
see image with configuration below!

A doubt:
Is it possible to have a formula to filter on the current date?
basically just download or upload files with the corrent date
like: today() in access or getdate() in SQL

Hmm.. Checked now. Works here. Just a thing: After means "after" and not after or equal.

Ok, I have found a little problem with some date's filters due to different date formats. Fixed for the next version

Hi Luis,
Thank you for your attention :OK

And about my doubt?
A doubt:
Is it possible to have a formula to filter on the current date?
basically just download or upload files with the corrent date
like: today() in access or getdate() in SQL
Can we add a regular expression for that, or can you also add current date option?

Thanks in advanced

I have a solution which you could use without adding more complexity. For the next version you can enter the date 1000-01-01 to dynamically indicate Today's date.

So now you can exclude all files older than today and all files newer than today.

On Cobian Gravity I've used successfully a filter "Newer than a week" to backup files from a server with read-only access. The archive attribute being unchangeable, the only way for incremental backup was "Newer than" (a week in my case) which was working flawlessly. On Reflector I can't find this filter. Any chance to get this fixed in the near future? Thanks!
