Use `mdfind` for a date range on OS X
I can't figure this out. How can I use mdfind
on OS X to find all photos with creation date between say March 10th, 2008 and March 15th, 2008?
using mdfind 'kMDItemFSCreationDate = 2008-03-10 12:30:56 +1100'
is too specific and I don't know how to simplify and broaden the search.
To simplify and broaden the search you may use operands like >, <, >=, <= or line up several attribute values with &&
.
To solve the above mentioned example you can use two different creation times and an item kind:
mdfind 'kMDItemFSCreationDate < $time.iso(2008-03-15T23:59:59) && kMDItemFSCreationDate > $time.iso(2008-03-10T00:00:00) && kMDItemKind = *image'
