Hello,

I'm sorry if this has already been answered, I searched the forums but couldn't find it.

Say I have a bunch of files. I want to sort them into subfolders based on certain metadata that Hazel doesn't support. I can extract the metadata using the shell, but now I want Hazel to be able to use that result to sort the files into subfolders.

Is that possible? Thanks!

There is no way to export that from a shell script but you can via AppleScript. Search the help for "applescript" as there are details on how to export tokens which Hazel can then use.

Oh thank you! That should work!
