Move by modified age

[Luc23]

I am attempting to create an archiving solution using SFFS that replaces some legacy code that does this same thing. I have a folder that I want to have archive to another folder on the same LAN. SFFS needs to be able to detect the last modified date of the files in this folder and move them to the archive folder if that date is more than X number of days old.

I can only find a similar feature for File Age. This really wouldn't work because there is no garauntee that those files are not being worked on still.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I think the label "File Age" is misleading. It refers to the "Last Modified" date by default.

But, in newer versions the GUI is pretty clear because below the File Age option, you will see:

Filter By: Last Modification / Creation

So you get to choose which to use.

I don't have those options in 5.13 unless I am looking in the wrong place- Masks & Filters - File Age and Size. I was a little hesitant to upgrade past 5.13 because I finally got to a version that ran perfectly with everything I threw at it.

Not to say that you would reintroduce bugs but there is always a chance with new features that something won't work as it did. If this particular feature has been expanded since 5.13 though, it is worthwhile for me to upgrade.

Hi,

you don't need to update. Your version will always look at the "Last Modified" date.
