Is there anyway to process dot files aka files who's name that starts with a ".". For example I have a directory in which has a file named ".metadata". I wanted to write a rule that if the file hasn't been updated in the last 2 days then to send me an alert.

My rule works for normal files but not ones that start with a dot. Right now I have the rule set up as: "Fullname is .metadata".

I don't even see .dot files listed in the preview window so I'm started to think you can't process .dot files but hopefully I'm wrong.

Any ideas?

Dot files are hidden so Hazel normally ignores them. If you want Hazel to process invisible files, you'll need to set a default as described here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=415

Oh great thanks! I wasn't aware of that feature.
