process on color - HowTo Wed Jan 18, 2017 5:59 am • by panini
Hi,

Is there any way to create a rule that takes detected color into account? (I'm using Fujitsu ScanSnap)
Or do you have an idea to achieve what follows?

I very often make handwritten notes - as a standard I use A5 size notebooks.
Hence the page will contain NO characters. So the first part of my rule would be: detect if printed text present? > if no > sort to non-print folder.
(if there is any clever way to detect handwriting, please chip in!)

Next I would very much like to use some color coding system to sort into category folders.
Easiest would be just a color marker, say green is for work category, yellow is private category.

I've been thinking about:
- scansnap color + keyword to do this > but I miss a keyword...
- colored rectangular or round small stickers instead of a marker
- ultimately creating 'printed' stickers (this would work, but is more tedious)

Thanks for your input!

Do you mean detecting a color in the image itself? If so, that is beyond what Hazel can do out of the box. You'll need some special program to be able to do that.
