Description jackbak1 2014-04-19 17:52:18 UTC 
Using astro photos need to be able to search on Exifs that contain long exposures and/or long focal lengths 254mm Newtonian at f4 = 1016mm

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try the search I've described above
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
no search results even though individual photos have valid and correct Exifs

Maik,

Another entry very simple to implement, as high ranges just need to be changed in Advanced Search tool GUI.

Gilles,

The maximum exposure time can be set to 24 hours and focal lenght to 200000mm. Perhaps the problem is, that left the longer exposure time and right the shorter exposure time is set. Similarly, the exposure time is increased at lower button. This inverted attitude to the exposure time is quite common in some camera models. But I think the direction of a number line from left (negative) to the right (positive) logical.

Maik, thanks to review...

So, if i understand, the original wish from this report is fixed since a while...

As the GUI behavior sound like logical (tested here), this entry can be closed as fixed now. No need to left an entry open as well. If something still wrong, user can re-open the file later or create a new one (we need a good visibility over all reports in bugzilla).
