Sync folder and file structure and names - but no data

[tcgass]

I wonder if there's a way to have Hazel synchronize folder and file structure (names) but not the data itself (resulting in a dummy file of 0kb).
That way one would be able to search for files on off-line drives without mounting them.
That would be a great feature, or is this already possible?

This is not a built-in feature, but you could do it by diving into subfolders and passing the name of the folder to a shell or AppleScript that creates a folder in a different directory with the same name as the present directory.

Thanks for your suggestion! I will look into that
