The order in which files are processed
Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 4:25 pmIf I have hazel process several files in a folder that all match, it will start by alphabetical order. Is it possible to have Hazel go by file size?

Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 5:46 pmThere's no way to control that. The fact that is currently goes in alphabetical order is an implementation detail and is probably not something to count on either. Can you explain why you need this?

Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2011 12:44 pmIn one case, I have many files of various sizes in a folder that I use Hazel to process. I have multiple computers processing these files and I want the slower computers processing the small files and the faster computers processing the larger files.
I could think of other times that I want the processing to be FIFO or LIFO.
