Trashing Wrong Copy Tue May 18, 2010 1:03 pm • by Scooter
Hi:

This is obvious, so I'm sure it's been answered before, but I've searched and searched. Forgive the repetition. I'm trying to make a rule that will take something from my downloads folder, copy it to an encrypted disk image, then delete the original. However, after copying, Hazels focus is now on the new copy, which it promptly deletes. I have a very cumbersome work around where I add the words Trash Me to the comments field before it copies, then have a new rule on the disk image that removes the 'Trash Me' from the comments, and finally a completely separate action that runs on the downloads folder that simply deletes anything with the comment 'trash me' but... I hate it. Is there an simpler way to do this? Thanks in advance.

What's wrong with doing a move? When moving across filesystems, it ends up doing a copy then delete (of the original) anyways.

Thanks. I just assumed it wouldn't work because I had to copy it.
