Innovative File Time Modes
FileBoss unique alternative display modes for
file times are available in both Explore views
and Virtual folders. The are incredibly handy
when sorting a list of files by time.
FileBoss has innovative alternatives to the
traditional way of displaying file times.
(Optional of course!)
The first shows file times by age, e.g. 8
minutes ago, 2 hours ago.
Both methods can be really handy when you have
an Explore view or Virtual Folder sorted by file
times. And you can quickly switch between any of
the three modes (traditional, by age, by
calendar period) using the button on the top
tool bar or using the View | File Times
> main menu items.
 
The second shows file times by by calendar
period, e.g. in February, 2007
-
As you move from folder to folder the files will
remain sorted according to chosen time.
Hint:
If you are looking at folders that contain lots
of files and you know the extension or
possible extensions of the file(s) you are looking
for you can use a File Filter to only display
those files.
Or you can even used Advanced Filtering to only
show files with Modified times in the range you
want.
