Support of less than & greater than in Display Filter

[sven.fabricius@…]

Hello,
I' working on historical data and I use the start_date and end_date tags. Some of the objects are overlaying others and it's very hard to work correctly on them.
Currently the display filter only works for the equal sign and not for less than and greater than.

I've tested following filters with no success:
"start_date">1950
"start_date"<1960
"start_date">"1950"
"start_date"<"1960"

Is it possible to implement this? with support for integer, float and maybe date?

Regards
Sven

I think it would be even better to allow intervals like lanes=2-4 or start_date=1900-1960.

Actually this already exists in expert mode.

start_date:1950-
start_date:-1960
start_date:1950-1960

should do it.

I have expert mode enabled but it doesn't work for me, only id, changeset, version, nodes, tags and areasize accepted intervals.
Do you happen to know which of your plugins enables doing that?

The range does only work with operators accepting numerical values, such as metadata (id, version...) or counters (nodes, tags...), it does not work with tags, which may contain anything (event start_date may contain some exotic values like "before 1972", "after 1961", etc.)

Sorry my bad. You might be able to use regular expression though.

In 6429/josm:

fix #8850 - search: support less/greater-than, e.g., start_date>1950

In 6831/josm: fix #9703: key>value in search or filter gave NPE for non-existing key.
