Description Sebastian 2022-03-18 17:21:11 UTC
Implement an option to search for photos as per the date and time of their import into the database.

I vote to add a new left sidebar tab from album view to show recent imported items will be more suitable to new users. Also the feature will be visible immediately, without to open advanced search dialog.

Apple Photos application has this feature. Look "Import" entry in left view from Photos Application :

This requires a database update, we need a sort of "firstSeen" DATETIME column in the "Images" table.

I'd like to vote for this feature.
Actually, while I can see the advantages in terms of the speed of search, for adding an entry into the database, I think it may not satisfy everyone's expectations (if the additional field isn't the one someone else is interested in).
For me, using the existing 'Find Items' whose results can themselves be searched by a secondary search dialog would solve the issue, and the speed wouldn't be such an issue.
e.g., Use the existing 'Find Items' to search within the database (in my case Picture Creation Date = 'this month') then search the resulting set of images for the data from the filiing system (in my case the import date).

The goal is to show recently added files through a Search.
