Match dates that are not in the future
Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2019 3:44 pmHi there,
been using hazel for a couple of years now and also helped in some beta versions.
Love how it evolved and incorporated it into a new workflow.
There is now a situation, where date matching chooses the wrong date and I think that could be an idea for a future feature:
- pdf is about a contract (e.g. hosting package)
- pdf has multiple dates: date of document + a couple of dates in the future for the domains (e.g. "01.02.2019 - 31.02.2020"), because paid in advance
- the OCR caught the document date AFTER the dates for the domains
- therefor "Match first occurrence" doesn't work
- but: only the document date is in the past, all others are in the future
So, my suggestion is, to add a selection to say "Match first occurrence in the past" or "...in the future".
Is that feasible or any idea you would consider at all?
I think, that would greatly help with these special situations.
