Creating an Import file
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2019 1:09 am
Hello,
I am new to Hazel 4. I have about 1000 folders all listed by names and I would like to create an import file with which I can create rules to move any file that contains a specific name into its respective folder.
For example, I have folders titled:
John Joe
Apple Seed
Andy Gower
I have another location where files contain the above names. I want to create an import file to create rules that if a name contains 'John Joe' it should be transferred to the 'John Joe' folder.
At the moment I have to create rules manually for each name and folder and doing it for a 1000 named folders will take me forever.
Is it possible to create an import file to process my list of 1000 folders?
I have tried opening the hazelrules file using text editor but I cannot really read the file to make changes.
Thank you for your help in advance
