I have two rules:

Folder: Applications
Rule: Stale Apps:
if all:
Kind is Application
Date Last Opened is not This Week
Set color label red.

Rule: Unstale Apps
if Date Last Opened is after Date Last Matched
set color label none.

What I wanted to do was give myself a visual flag for the apps I'm not using. But it's marking almost everything in Applications red, even if I have opened it this week.
The items it doesn't mark seem to be because Hazel is unable to access them (permission issues generally)

thanks!

Note that "this week" means this calendar week. So, right now, it would be from May 8th-14th.

Select the apps in question in Finder and do "Get Info" and see if the date last opened actually agrees with what you think it should be.

Ah that makes sense, have changed both rules:

Stale:
Date Last Opened is not in the last 1 week

Unstale:
Date Last Opened is in the last 1 week

Will watch for a bit and see what things look like, I think it's still marking some things it shouldn't, but I'll confirm that and see if I can't pinpoint why.

Thanks,
m.

I am trying to do something similar, but I'm not sure how to get around the permissions. This is what I see in the logs:

Code: Select all

You will have to alter the permissions on the apps for Hazel to alter them (including setting tags). No real way of getting around that.
