Hey all!
I scan every document I ever get, and have hazel sort it all for me.
Here's my workflow now:
I have a scanner that has the option to upload to different "users" via ftp(receipts, invoices, brandon, bills) etc.

I run the following bash script every 1 minute:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
 
users="karla brandon receipts docs bills invoices pictures"
wget_dir="/home/"
server="111.111.111.111"
dropbox="/Users/shutter/Dropbox/Scans/Imports/"

# Perform backup
for user in $users
do
        rsync -avzhe ssh ${user}@$server:/$wget_dir/${user} $dropbox/
done


Hazel is looking into those folders and doing the following:



The goal is to make a copy of the pdf in a specific folder, sorted by year/date/month, and then renamed, and then have Finder open it.
Here's a log of a successful action:

Code: Select all

This allows me to have a folder structure of the year/month/date/filename.

Works super well, and it's nearly instant!
