Hi,

atm you can only use filters with a passes applescript / bash.

It would be nice to be able to say NOT passes applescript etc as that would allow to have one script to check specific conditions instead of needing to code 2 scripts.

Can you give me a specific case where you need this?

I have an applescript to check if a pdf has been processed with ocr.

And I have an other applescript to check if a pdf has NOT been processed with ocr.

In the end the scripts are the same except that one time the if statement is true and I pass a true, and in the other time the if statement is true and I pass a false back to hazel.

So I need to write 2 scripts... hmm.. or have one script with a switch , but still...

Do you really need to identify both or can you just use the rule fall-through to "detect" the negative case? For instance, if one rule has that script, then anything that doesn't match that rule is basically implied to not match it. Subsequent rules can basically operate under that assumption.

need to check that, will let you know.
