Specific day and month, but of any year
« on: August 14, 2024, 03:53:17 AM »
Hello everyone,
there's a way to filter the PM catalog to show only the pictures taken on a specific day and month, but of any year?

Eliano,

Yes.  Create a custom search filter and enter:

capturetime.month = 3 and capturetime.day = 17

Replace 3 with the number of the month you're wanting, and 17 the day number of the month that you're wanting.

HTH,

what kind of sorcery is this? where can I read more about custom filters and using variables like that?

In the "Search examples" in the Catalog menu or the page in our documentation: https://docs.camerabits.com/support/solutions/articles/48001077445-photo-mechanic-plus-search

Thank you!
This is another case where amazing functionality is present and is in the manual (which is rather hard to use, as I went there to find this info) but it would probably take someone like Jeff Vogan to show a practical use for this.
