Filtering by Calendar versus Date

Question

Hi All,
So, we can filter on Calendar, which shows a nice graphical representation of when we took our pictures. Click on a highlighted date, and see all the photos from that *one specic* date.
However, to see, for instance, everything from a month (or an arbitrary range), it doesn't seem possible from the Calendar, even though it shows me several days in some particular months that I took photos. I have to use the "Date" filter and clunkily change a bunch of criteria in order all photos from a given month.
Am I missing something? It seems like the Calendar Filter interface should make this task a cinch, and I don't think the Date filter will work for scans, in which the metadata is what I want to search, not the file date.

Use "{Shift}+click" for the second date, or use "{Command}+click" for additional dates.
The Calendar Rule is slick, but seems unfinished. There is no way I know to move the mini-calendars by year or to the most recent date, for instance. The central diamond does move the mini-calendars to display the current date.
The Calendar Rule uses the EXIF date.

The Date Rule, with the argument "Is in the range" does the same thing as the Calendar Rule, and is often faster to set.
The Date Rule uses the file's creation date (afaict).
