It would be really great if Archive could use a filelist instead of a filemask til include files into an archive. Then it would be possible to create a list of files based on age or attributes or some other filtering, that isn't posible with a filemask.

We are working on a general filter for all kinds of Tasks which will be used in version 5 of VisualCron. Currently we are looking at the below values - please tell us if you need anything more or can think of anything more that would be interesting.

# file name filter
* File name inclusion mask - "*?" etc or RegEx
* File name exclusion mask - "*?" etc or RegEx
* Case sensitivity

# file content match
File content in text files - "?*" or RegEx match

# date modified or created filter ( do you need AND? )
* NewerThanDate x - specified date or variable
* OlderThanDate x - specified date or variable

# file size
* larger or smaller than x size

# file attributes
* including a list of attributes
* excluding a list of attributes

I can't wait for version 5 now. I don't think I need AND.

A process priority on archive would be great so that other tasks are less likely to be influenced by heavy archiving...

The file filter for archive Task is available in the latest beta 4.9.52.
