Search Using a Text File Sat Apr 16, 2022 4:24 am • by Paul1762
I am looking at a way to search for a list of files on my Mac Mini in a Folder using Hazel to match a list of files that I have in a text file of rejected images from Lightroom when importing.

The list has 470+ names, I would like a way of listing these so that I can then move them to another sub folder.

Can you give more specifics of where these files reside under this folder? Are they all at the top level or in subfolders?

You can use a custom list item attribute to consult a list but depending on the above, you may need additional logic.

Check out custom list items then in the manual. You can set up a list then try and match against it.
