Screenshots & Photos sorting into (and kept from) iPhoto

I take screenshots alot, for various reasons, and I also download images from the tubes. I prefer this type of image to be filed in a small folder for easy drag-drop access. I do not want these images in iPhoto; thats where I keep family/personal photos organized.

So Hazel does this:

Filetype picture
if the filename begins with "Picture" then move to "/Photos/Screenshots/"
if the file is less than 1 mb move to "/Photos/Clips"
if the filesize is larger than 3 mb import to iPhoto
if the filename begins with DSC*, import to iPhoto
else move to "/Photos/Misc"
Growl

Although not exhaustive, it hasn't failed me yet.

Thanks for sharing this (and your other) tips. One thing you can add is filtering on the picture's resolution to do things like identify screenshots. Check out the video here: http://www.woopid.com/video/2307/Hazel-Example-Photo-Rule
