Name: Recently changed

This is probably something that nobody but me needs :innocent:. If you edit the name of a document, DT apparently does not register this as a change to the document. That is why this document does not appear in a list: Modified in the last 10 days.

Is there nevertheless a way to search for such documents? Thank you.

The workaround for an RTF document, for example, is to simply add a space in the text. But sometimes I forget to do that.

You could use a smart rule that is triggered on renaming and sets a custom metadata date.

Danke, so weit verstehe ich das, aber dann 
 könntest du mich bitte noch etwas genauer anleiten?

German text below. I still think we should stick to English in this part of the forum

You now define a user data field called “Renamed” (or whatever) of the type “Date”. And then don’t use “Animate symbol” in your intelligent rule, but (context menu!) “Change renamed” (quite far down) and then select the correct placeholder for the current date (input field for the action with Option or Cmd - but this is also all in the manual).

In addition, you should, of course, restrict the documents appropriately, i.e. not “Everything matches”, but “Type is 
” or something like that. As I said: The manual knows all about it.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

German version here:

Du definierst Dir jetzt noch ein Benutzer-Datenfeld namens “Umbenannt” (oder was auch immer) vom Typ “Datum”. Und dann verwendest Du in deiner intelligenten Regel nicht “Symbol animieren”, sondern (KontextmenĂŒ!) “Umbenannt Ă€ndern” (ziemlich weit unten) und wĂ€hlst dann den korrekten Platzhalter fĂŒr das aktuelle Datum aus (Eingabefeld fĂŒr die Aktion mit Option oder Cmd – aber das steht auch alles im Handbuch).

Außerdem solltest Du natĂŒrlich die Dokumente passend einschrĂ€nken, also nicht “Alles stimmt ĂŒberein mit”, sondern “Art ist 
” oder so. Wie gesagt: Das Handbuch weiß alles darĂŒber.

Verstanden, danke. Ich probiere das.

Ah, yes, English, sorry. That works perfectly, thanks again.

Why, if I need all the documents?

“All documents” is a restriction. Unless you want to handle tags, groups, smart groups, RSS feeds etc. as well.
