Hi again.

This time i have a feature request.

I use Hazel to check my SCAN folder - descibed here http://www.noodlesoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1364.

Here is a example why i think this request is useful.

I scan 10 documents with my Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300, let them convert to
10 single 'PDF with Text' files and save them into /Users/Thomas/Scan.
Right after the first File was saved - Hazel begins the following workflow.

1. Check if KIND is PDF
2. Check if SIZE is greater than 0 (zero)
3. Check if CONTENT contains INVOICE
4. Check if CONTENT contains AMAZON

if all of the above is true then

5. RENAME filename to 2012-02-27 07:56 (Invoice Amazon)
6. SET OPENMETA TAG to INVOICE, AMAZON and clear all other tags
7. RUN EMBEDDED APPLESCRIPT

This works fine for the files 1 to 9 but file 10, the last file, stays in
the Scan folder for about three to five minutes until hazel scans the folder again.

So here is my request: Is it possible to say Hazel that when she processed the last file in a folder
and the folder seems to be empty to rescan the folder in x seconds once again!?

This solution would save some time.

Thanx in advance.

Thomas

It may just be a timing issue. At times, there may be a delay in processing. This should not be an issue in the forthcoming 3.0.

Thank you for your quick answer.
Is there a release date for 3.0?

Soon.

See the When is V3 coming out topic and others under the Beta Discussion subforum.

To ease the pain of waiting, I suggest browsing through this.
