catfish v1.4.10 can't find files dated after Aug 1, 2019 (whereas v1.4.9 can)

[omui]

Hi Team,

Thanks for the update! I may have noticed a potential bug, and here are the observations:

1. On 3 computers A, B and C, running Arch with catfish v1.4.10: catfish cannot find files dated after Aug 1, 2019. This is true when running catfish either as Thunar Custom Action or from the terminal.

2. On another machine, D, also on Arch but haven't upgraded for 2 months with catfish v1.4.9: catfish can find the very latest files dated up to today (Oct 29, 2019).

3. After upgrading D to v1.4.10, problem appeared: it can no longer find files dated after Aug 1, 2019.

4. Running catfish with -v or -vv did not show much.

5. Downgrading computers A,B and C to v1.4.9 eliminates the problem. Upgrading back to v1.4.10 and the problem reappeared.

5. catfish on Ubuntu 19.10 is v1.4.7, so even if it runs well, I cannot rule out whether the problem is caused by packaging (ubuntu vs arch) or by v1.4.10.

6. So I tried Fedora 31 live iso with catfish v1.4.10, and it has exactly the same problem.

So it appears that the problem is with catfish v1.4.10.

Could someone please try to duplicate the problem?

Thank you very much!
