Retrieving pictures taken between two timestamps using search api fails?
i'm trying to use powershell to retrieve images taken between two timestamps but keep failing
my query in the example is trying to list all images taken on an entire day, but it only returns one, while there are many more in the database?
What's going wrong?
*end goal is to match timestamps with gpx file locations and add the gpx coordinates to images that are missing them. *

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.it appears i can't search via de api filter by datetaken, but only by datecreated, which would be a random date that i managed to have wifi and upload the images?
Could that be correct?
takenAfter and takenBefore should be valid filters
Much better resuls now, getting closer, thx!
