"Date" Filter in the Filters Tool Doesn't seem to work?
I am looking for a tiny bit of help here if possible. Now I'm sure that this has something to do with something that I have inadvertently done but for the life of me I can't figure this out.
The "Date" Filter in the Filters tool just doesn't seem to work for me. It knows there are images in the catalogue (or session, it doesn't work in either) but it just shows a '--' rather than any of the things I would expect (year, month etc etc).
Even in the Advanced Search, it shows the date filter as "blank"
I've attached a couple of screenshots for clarity. Again, I'm sure I've done something along the way myself but any help is greatly appreciated!

For reference if it means anything, I'm running 15.3.0.109 on an M1 Macbook Pro.

Hi Josh,
What surpises me is that you have the same number of images in "All images" as in the "Date" filter. Are you sure your camera provided a date value for each image ? The best test would be to read the EXIF in any relevant software, such as "Apple Preview", for instance.

Hi Robert, thanks so much for your reply.
From what I can tell all the date info is there. Capture One shows dates for everything in the Metadata tab, and using Get Info in Finder also shows all the date info.
I can't check the photo's in "Preview" specifically as it doesn't support Sony A7IV raw files (unless it now does and I need to update) but I made a brand new catalogue with just .TIF files in it and the problem persists so I don't think its a RAW file issue.
I imported some recent files into Lightroom and the Date filter there worked as intended, so it definitely seems to be something I'd done somewhere along the way. I thought maybe it was to do with Smart Albums, but it doesn't matter whether I'm in a Catalog Collection or User Collection.

Hi Josh
Haha, yeah it may well be.
Short answer is no, unfortunately not. I put in a support ticket and went back and forth with them for a couple days, running logs on existing and new catalogs and sessions and they couldn't seem to figure it out either so it just kind of got left unresolved.
I ended up just spending five minutes making a bunch of Smart Albums for each month of the year in the catalogs I thought I would most want to search in by date, but to be honest I had a massive cull in my main catalog and started using sessions more so I kinda just forgot about the problem lol.
Frustrating, but not deal breaking. Especially as it's not linked to a specific camera or file format or anything and the date is there in the metadata and other software doesn't have the same problem.
The only new thing I noticed is that when Capture One added the ability to change the capture time of an image, if I went it and changed it to something different it would show in the default Date Filter, but changing it back to it's actual capture time would then unfix it, so who knows.
Sorry!

Can you make a copy of your catalog or session, download the latest Capture One as a trial, and see if it has the same issue? If it's a bug in your version of Capture One it isn't likely to be fixed in your version of Capture One. If it's still a bug in the current version then its more likely to be fixed.

Hi Walter
I've gone through multiple version upgrades at this point, the issue started back in Capture One 21 or 22, can't remember which, but I'm now on the latest version and it still doesn't like something. I've done fresh installs and all.
Like I said I went through all of this with Support last year and they couldn't figure it out either. I thought it was just something weird with my particular MacBook and C1 as no-one else seemed to be having the same issue or even heard of it, at least until today.
*Just a quick edit to add that everyone I dealt with at support on this was great, it just stumped everyone.

Have you created a new catalog and imported the old catalog into it? I've had a couple of weird issues that were only cleaned up by doing that.

Just tried that on a smaller catalog and it was a no go unfortunately.
I just realised that the images links up there are dead so below is a new screen shot for better reference. It just looks like the filter isn't applying itself?

Same here, JoshS

I think I saw such a behavior in a session, when doing a weird, sorta "dynamic" search on All Images, I think I resolved this by switching to search of Capture folder. I did not document this, I think, but I did manage to find a filter that would fail to display anything in All Images, but would work on the Capture folder.
