Tweak to make custom date pattern even better Sat Apr 29, 2017 12:00 pm • by dworsham
First of all, the ability to match on a date in the contents is one of the greatest features of Hazel. I would recommend that the example patterns for month and day (at least, might be applicable to others) display 01/1 instead of 31/31 or 12/12 to make it easier to distinguish between leading zeroes or not.

Keep up the great work!

The problem with that is then it's not clear which one is the month and which one is the date. I find it better to make that clear, sacrificing the ability to tell the number of digits as easily.

[EDIT]: To clarify, I'm referring to in the token itself. One thing I am considering is whether to show "01" in the pop-up menu. My concern, though, is whether it's confusing to people to have the menu show a different number than what's in the token.
