I play Civilization a lot. When I start a new game I want all earlier save files to be deleted.

The test is "if file mod date is older than mod date of [AutoSave_Initial_0000 BC-4000.Civ5Save]" but I cannot figure out if this is possible to do in Hazel.

How about doing "Date create/modified is not among the 1 most recent"?

The autosave file is in a different directory.

Can you give me a specific example with full names and locations of the files in question?

The file whose date should be used in the test is:
\saves\auto\AutoSave_Initial_0000 BC-4000.Civ5Save

The other files have names like:
\saves\Augustus_0051 BC-1960.Civ5Save

With that layout, I'm not sure if that's possible without a script of some sort. That logic is a bit too specialized.

Thanks.

I have found a solution based on the fact that when a new game cycle starts there are only two files/subfolders in the Auto folder.
