Exclude Before Date: When 'Reverse Filters' is disabled, files whose date stamp precedes the date specified are excluded from the operation. Enabling 'Reverse Filters' has the opposite effect - files preceding the date specified are included. You may combine this setting with a 'Before Date' to limit operations to a specific date range. Date exclusions can also be combined with one or both of the exclude by size filters. See Size and Date Filter Examples for some samples.

You can also enter the special token - %%today%%. This code is intended for manually edited scripts and not the GUI, but it does work. The program converts the entry to either the current date or the value calculated. For example, if you enter %%today-10%% and the current date is March 17, 2003, the program will convert this to March 27, 2003.

Note: Use the Complex File Mask dialog to 'filter' files by file name or path.
