Tagging a Folder on the Desktop

OK, I have a folder on the desktop, "Keep For 3 Months". Basically, I toss stuff in there that I want to trash, but not right away. This mechanism is working fine. However, I want to tag this folder if there's something in it, and remove the tag when it's empty. I'd like to do this with a script specific to this folder, not a "Desktop" script.

Any hints?

If you want the rule to apply to that folder (and not the files within), then you need to have Hazel monitor the Desktop, and then have the rule check whether the folder is empty. Sub-file/folder count is probably the best way to do that.

Yeah, finally did it this way, which, of course, works fine. I had a vague worry about using a whole lot of system resources for some reason, but not a problem.
