Skip OneDrive on-demand cloud files

I'm working with documents on a scale that means a lot of data gets automatically offloaded by OneDrive; files come and go, depending on what I'm working on. In other words, if I'm working on it, it's local on the drive. If I'm not, it's On-Demand from OneDrive.

For a specific task, I only want Hazel to flag files that are NOT in the cloud, because I want to check whether I have to manually work on those files. But Hazel (trying to be helpful) keeps downloading every single cloud file that meets the other criteria in order to figure out if the files meet the other rules.

Is there a way to exclude cloud files – and specifically OneDrive files – from a rule?

I can't find an attribute to check that will exclude files that are not physically on the disk. I've tried every variation of file size (logical size, physical size, file size), but none seem to work. Grateful for any suggestions.

There's no way to do that at the moment. I'm considering adding a feature like that in the future (ignore non-local files) as well as an option to force downloading them. I suggest keeping tabs on the beta forums.

Thanks so much for the update; you (and your software) are amazing.
