"Date Picker in Scheduler"
 
   I went to run a report using the Scheduler, but I only want a specific range.

So I clicked on Custom Date Filter and now I to enter an expression. As a Mac user, I expect to be able to select as I can using the Date Picker.
As a Sawmill novice, I have no idea what a date filter looks like.

Given that I will eventually have 20+ of these scheduled events, I would really like to a menu where I can select such "date ranges" as "last month" or "last quarter" or pick a start-end date pair.

thanks,
dave

   Exactly the answer I needed.
For me, the date filter is: last 1 month

You don't need to use Custom Date Filter if you're just looking for a simple relative filter like "last 1 month". Instead, choose the second or third option in the menu, "last N date unit..."; those let you choose the unit "months" from a menu, and type the number of months you want, without needing to know the advanced date filter expression syntax.
