recent only

The smallest value you can put on a check recent only is one day. Often this is too long. For example, I run a batch process that slightly modifies the footers in every page on the website. If a do a check before that, I should not need to recheck every document afterwards, and certainly not recheck them every document on the website every time I do any check in the next 24 hours.

It would be nice to have allow that field to read:

10 mins
2 hours
4 days

with the units defaulting to days.

If you want to get really fancy also allow an absolute timestamp in ISO form:

You should be able to use a floating point number in there, like .083 for 2 hours. Have you tried that?

NOTE: This is in regards to the "Limit to Age" tab available for Batch Wizard folder targets (in the folder target's properties dialog).

In BETA 5, in order to make it clear that floating point numbers can be used for this option, I've added text below the relevant option in the "Limit to Age" tab. The added text says "NOTE: Use .01 for 15 mins, .021 for 30m, .042 for 1h, .083 for 2h, .167 for 4h, .333 for 8h, .5 for 12h, etc.".
