Finding largest files Mon Apr 16, 2012 12:43 pm • by ulti
Idea 1:
I'm looking to write a hazel rule that finds the largest files in a specific folder or drive and marks it as red.

Harder idea:
if Hazel can write the path/filename of the largest files into a textfile.

I know hazel can find files larger than X but can it find the top 10 largest files then act on those files?

Any ideas or suggestions?

"Size is among the 10 highest" should do it. Note that it only does it per folder. It won't aggregate for a whole drive or folder tree.

Writing to a file would require a script.
