## File Filter

This window will let you filter the files based upon the file date. This can be useful if you wish to (among other things) only include old files which you can then delete from the Digest Information window. The filtering action will `keep` the files which match the filter! As a check you will be presented with a message box which will tell you what will be done, and ask you to confirm the action.

The program will recognize almost any date format entered.

There are three ways of filtering files. The first is by specifying a starting date and keeping all files which have file dates on or before that date.

The second is by specifying two dates and keeping all files which have file dates which are between two specified dates.

The third is by keeping all files which are after a specified date.

### Begin Date

If filtering on a range enter the beginning date of the range in the here. If filtering either before or after a date enter the date here.

### End Date

This is for ranges only. Enter the end date of the range here.

### Options Buttons

Before | Enable this button if you wish to keep all files before a specified date.
Between | Enable this button if you wish to keep all files between two specified dates.
After | Enable this button if you wish to keep all files after a specified date.

Click the Filter button to perform the filtering.
