Time Period Filter
The Time Period Filter includes or excludes files based on whether their last-modified date falls within a specified date range.
Controls
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Start Date | The beginning of the date range |
| End Date | The end of the date range |
| Filter Matching Dates / Filter Non-Matching Dates | Toggle between inclusive and exclusive mode |
Modes
Filter Matching Dates (inclusive): Only files whose modification date falls within the start-to-end range remain active.
Filter Non-Matching Dates (exclusive): Files whose modification date falls within the range are excluded; files outside the range remain active.
Behavior
- Dates are inclusive: a file modified on the start date or end date is considered within the range
- If Start Date is left empty, the range has no lower bound (matches everything up to the end date)
- If End Date is left empty, the range has no upper bound (matches everything from the start date onward)
- The comparison uses the file's last-modified timestamp from the filesystem
Examples
| Start Date | End Date | Mode | Matches |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-01-01 | 2024-03-31 | Filter Matching | Files modified in Q1 2024 only |
| 2024-01-01 | 2024-03-31 | Filter Non-Matching | Files modified outside Q1 2024 |
| (empty) | 2023-12-31 | Filter Matching | Files modified before 2024 |
| 2024-01-01 | (empty) | Filter Matching | Files modified from 2024 onward |
Tips
- Use this filter to process files from a specific photo shoot date, project sprint, or time period
- Combine with Time Filter if you need to narrow down to a single-sided boundary
