Description Jean-François Rabasse 2012-11-06 10:29:03 UTC

When using the Advanced search dialog box, users may specify values intervals for seevral technical properties, lens aperture, ISO settings, exposure time.

Seems that the editing logic rejects typing the same value in min and max fields.
E.g. one cannot search for images with aperture strictly f/16.0 (written in min and max fields)

Seems that the editing logic restricts users typed values into fixed bounding limits. 
E.g. the ISO sensitivity fields reject values greater than 6400, the exposure time fields rejects values longer than 120s.

The wish is to remove these restrictions whenever they have no software related technical reasons.

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

I do not feel motivated to work on the code which controls the twin spin boxes for min/max searches (I had no fun writing it and dont really like it). I agree there is room for improvement. At the moment, to make you example work, you can search f16,0 - f16,1.

I will adjust boundaries of several fields so as to not impose artificial limitations.
