Pause or delay a folder rule Mon Apr 03, 2017 10:56 am • by squeakypizza
Hello there! I'm finally getting into the world of becoming a mac power user and I'm loving my Hazel experience so far. Im using one rule in conjunction with a Keyboard Maestro macro. Is there any way to delay/pause a workflow in Hazel?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Could you describe why you need the pause? Depending on the details, you may need to either do the pause in the conditions or the actions.

I'm also interested in pausing.

What is the right way, after the Hazel renaming rules are going to rename,
I want to be presented with a dialog, where I can edit the renaming result, and ENTER or CANCEL the further processing.
Why: sometimes the rules cannot be detailed enough, so I want to check and possible add some text to the filename.
E.g. rule determines file name
"2017-04-06 Invoice.pdf"
and I want to change that manually to
"2017-04-06 Invoice of strange company.pdf".
Any ideas?

Search the forums as there are AppleScripts people have written to do this.
