I think it does the opposite when it's the FIRST rule of a filter list,
which is quite surprising.

Let's suppose that you've excluded all files from the user folder by
mistake. After that point, nothing will change even if you apply the
following filter list:

Enable  Target    Op       Value
And     Time      Ge >=    2011/06/04 00:00:00
And     Time      Lt <     2011/06/05 00:00:00

In order to get the result you want, the list should be as follows:

Enable  Target    Op       Value
Or      Patterns  Matches  *
And     Time      Ge >=    2011/06/04 00:00:00
And     Time      Lt <     2011/06/05 00:00:00

Here's an alternative:

Enable  Target    Op       Value
Or      Time      Ge >=    2011/06/04 00:00:00
And     Time      Lt <     2011/06/05 00:00:00

It's confusing, but I think this is how filters currently work. Perhaps
we need to change it.

Did you mean "BEFORE 2018/12/31 and AFTER 2021/01/01"?
