Hi Tobias, I am making some experiments waiting for your reply on viewtopic.php?t=705, to fully test "cleaner" jobs but found some weird behavior.
The purpose of this test is to delete version files that haven't be accessed in the past X days: I created a profile with Exact Mirror mode, source is an empty folder and destination is the "Older" folder where versions are moved to.
Now these are the results:

• Exact Mirror Settings: Remove Files that dont match filter = NO, Age Filter = over X days, filter by last access => NO file is considered, the preview shows NO file, neither selecting "Show All" - this seems to be a bug since version files with last access over X days do exist.

• Exact Mirror Settings: Remove Files that dont match filter = NO, Age Filter = less than X days, filter by last access => files that are "young" are deleted - that is correct (even if not the target behavior).

• Exact Mirror Settings: Remove Files that dont match filter = YES, Age Filter = over than X days, filter by last access => ALL files are deleted, even those that have last access timestamp less than X days - that seems to me a bug

• Exact Mirror Settings: Remove Files that dont match filter = YES, Age Filter = less than X days, filter by last access => ALL files are deleted, even those that have last access timestamp older than X days - that seems to me not correct

Can you have a look on this?
thanks a lot

Hi,
thanks for the observations. I will look into it. But I think it's not worth it to implement such tricky workarounds. I will add the missing option soon.

Thanks, apart from the new option, I think there is some bug in the filter age, maybe only on last access date, I haven't thoroughly tested the other types of time stamps. Cheers

Hello,
there is no bug. But the filters are taken into consideration for both sides, and if only one side matches, then the file is included.
