I use date ranges in smart folders and found that you cannot select beyond the end of Feb 2016 - so that is the date Aperture runs out!
Having tidied up my photos I'm about to make that move to another application.
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
i hope, you are wrong! 😢
How are you formatting the date strings? The "Date range" rules never worked well, because they are depending on the localization of the Mac.
I can enter dates beyond Februar 2016 into the date rule with my Mac set to English/UK.
I prefer the Calendar rules, but the Calendar can indeed not be stepped beyond Februar 2016. What a pain!
I'll use the 'Date' rules in future, and indeed carry on using Aperture until it stops working completely.
I can understand the need to plan ahead but there's a general panic about switching to something else when Aperture still works.
I might upset everyone and switch to Photos 😝
Feb 2016 is the end
