Feature request: filter, time interval older than

Discuss new features and functions

Currently the software has the ability to filters the results by time, in particular by time "newer than".
It would be really useful to have the ability to filter for files "older than". This way we can use a Real Time Sync to monitor a folder and move older files to another one used as an archive.

You can use the FFS time-span feature
Set your left ("from") date very long ago, and your right ("to") date as your "older than" date.

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem. By selecting a time-span you are choosing a starting and an ending date that are static.
If today you want to make a batch file that runs once a day via Windows Task Planner and handles all files older than two weeks, you will be choosing 16 April as "from" and 30 April as "to". When the batch runs tomorrow the time-span won't change and the config won't work as desired.

There is also a 'time span' option in the filter options. I am unsure if that applies to the include or exclude though. It is not clear

I think that applies only to files that have a modification time earlier than the selected value. I would like to have the same function but for files older than the selected value.
