Drag to Applications Folder? Thu Aug 08, 2024 8:41 pm • by chicleeblair
Is there a way for Hazel to act on mounted dmgs? To mimick the task of dragging the icon to the applications folder? If it can't be done via Hazel, I have Keyboard Maestro as well.

I guess you might be able to do this. All you are doing is copying a file on the DMG to Applications. You don't need to simulate a drag or anything.

You'd need a rule to monitor the Volumes folder and then descend into the mounted DMGs, match the application in there and copy it. That all said, I'd say this would be dangerous to automate and I'd recommend against it.
