First off: I did try to find an answer by searching the forum but I did not find anything I understood.
I want to list all .jpg files withing and date range and larger than a specific file size.
I found this part in the forum: dc:20171001..20181230 *.jpg
It will display a list of all .jpg files from Jan 1st 2017 to Dec 30 2018.
I wish to add a 'larger than" filter to this string. For instance: larger than 2 megabytes
What would the syntax be?
Thanks,
WV-Mike

However, it will now only display a list of "date created" .jpg files from 2018.
I have verified there are files larger than 2mb which were created in 2017.
BTW - tried using various combos from the help file but had no luck.
Size Constants:
empty
tiny 0 KB < size <= 10 KB
small 10 KB < size <= 100 KB
medium 100 KB < size <= 1 MB
large 1 MB < size <= 16 MB
huge 16 MB < size <= 128 MB
gigantic size > 128 MB

Re: searching by file size
if your date range starts on Jan 1st 2017, shouldn't it be dc:20170101..20181230 instead of 20171001

I cannot get "dc:20180101..20180430 *.jpg size:>2mb" to search a USB drive.vanisk wrote: Sun Dec 30, 2018 3:11 pm if your date range starts on Jan 1st 2017, shouldn't it be dc:20170101..20181230 instead of 20171001
It only searches the C:\ drive.

Re: searching by file size
I was able to direct it to the E (USB) drive.
However, I get no result with this:
e:\ dc:20180101..20180428 *.jpg size:>2mb
This returns 108, 618 results
e:\ dc:20180101..20181228 *.jpg size:>2mb

Re: searching by file size
Check this first: USB-Sticks
Your search parameters seem to be OK.

This returns results dating back to 1982.

Re: searching by file size
Please try searching for:
e:\ dm:20180429..20181228 *.jpg size:>2mb
dc = date created.
dm = date modified.
Date modified information is indexed by default (fast searching and sorting), whereas date created information is not.
