Newbie-Move files to a NEW folder

[a_freyer]

This would actually go in the rule section as a condition which returns a hazel token for sorting. (sorry, about to head out to lunch. I can be more specific at a later time.)

Code: Select all

if (all) of the following conditions are met for (the file or folder being processed):
     kind is pdf
     passes AppleScript (my embedded script)

Do the following to the matched file or folder:
     …

I guess I don't understand the script.

The action that most closely mimics what I want to do was when Safari used to have the pref to ask you where to save a downloaded file. This would give you the option to choose an existing folder or create a new one.

I download File A (opt file) and File B (pdf) to Folder X. I want to then be able to choose a folder location and create a folder there and have those files moved to that folder.

After giving the issue more thought, how about this:

Set Rule 1 that would take the .opt file and sort into a subfolder but the key would be for the system to ask me what I want to name it (vs using matching to create a folder name).

Set Rule 2 would take the next file I download, this would be a PDF, and automatically move it into the preceding folder that was created.

I understand now how to create a subfolder with the same name of the file but the file name contains stuff I don't want in the folder name.
