Script for kMD metadata attributes - Mail Attachment

Last edited by aljjspam on Thu Apr 18, 2024 3:09 pm, edited 1 time in total.

I need some conditions that don’t exist on the “Other…” menu.

I need to pass them one at a time

kMDItemDestinationRecipients
kMDItemOriginSenderHandle
kMDItemOriginSubject

I don’t have programming skills so I searched the forum for a solution using a script.
Here are some I tried but didn't work

Are you sure it doesn't appear in the "Other" list? Even if you drop the "kMDItem" part, it might not have the same name.

As for the scripts, can you post your version of them that didn't work?

I'm sure there's no option on other, I also tried with HoudahSpot to see if I could find the name of the attribute since you can search by the KMD there. No luck.

I can find the file on Spotlight using kMDItemDestinationRecipients: XXXXXX@icloud.com

Is there a condition on Hazel to use custom attribute?

Thank you!

This are the scripts I tried:

Code: Select all: if [ "$(mdls -name kMDItemDestinationRecipients "$1" | awk -F " = " '{print $2}')" == "XXXXXX@icloud.com" ];then exit 0; else exit 1; fi

Code: Select all: if [ `mdls -name kMDItemDestinationRecipients $1 | cut -d '"' -f2 -s | head -n 1 | grep "XXXXXX@icloud.com" ` ]; then exit 0 else exit 1 fi

I found this Post from 2014 asking the same thing:

Have you tried the scripts outside of Hazel? It will be easier to debug there.

I managed to make it work!
Thank you for replaying.

This is the code:

Code: Select all: if [ `mdls -name kMDItemDestinationRecipients "$1" | cut -d '"' -f2 -s | head -n 1 | grep “xxxx@icloud.com" ` ]; then exit 0 else exit 1 fi
