Hazel: 3.3.1 (1200)
For a items in a folder I want achieve this logical behavior in Hazel:
Don't apply rule actions until I quit iTunes
I have a rule with this "Passes AppleScript" condition:
- Code: Select all
if application "iTunes" is running then
return false
else
return true
end if
Easy, if iTunes is running Hazel will avoid apply actions to files. Ok, but what will do Hazel with these files when quit iTunes? nothing??.
I think that Hazel understand that files have been processed by the rules correctly although actions have not been applied (return false). Exists a law that say "if a file matches the same rule it matched last time, it will not re-run its actions", maybe this law apply here?
If instead I apply this Applescript code:
- Code: Select all
if application "iTunes" is not running then
return true
end if
In this code Hazel don't have "return false" and when iTunes is active the script give an error (normal). Maybe this error causes that Hazel re-evaluate the situation in next Hazel cycle for all files? If in the next Hazel cycle iTunes is closed the rules will apply actions on files as expected?
What is the clean way to do that Hazel re-evaluate automatically all files against rules when iTunes is not launched?
Note1: If i pause / un-pause monitored folder Hazel re-evaluate all files against rules again and all works, but is not a solution due to I must do it manually every time.
Note2: I had wait more than 20 minutes in every test to look if Hazel do something in their cycles.
