Understanding Get-ChildItem

Why do I get different results when executing

[k:\photos]
$> Get-ChildItem 200[3-6] -recurse -filter:*.jpg

and

[k:\photos]
$> Get-ChildItem 2003,2004,2005,2006 -recurse -filter:*.jpg

The first one does not find any files at all.
Without the -filter parameter, the output are identical. I think it is a
usability problem with Get-ChildItem in that it is hard to predict the
behaviour when adding parameters -filter, -include and -exclude.

Yes. We are aware of this and are currently evaluting options. Watch this
