I have recently started using Journler http://www.journler.com/ which used in conjunction with my other great love Quicksilver http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/ is a brilliant way of saving web pages, sections of text, email (whatever) in one place.
Journler also has the function that allows you to send a file or a file alias to a drop folder. This is then tagged and imported to Journler and you can quickly access documents with a single click.
What I would love to do is have Hazel create a file alias and send this to the Journler drop box after it has filed the document to which ever folder I have decreed.
The problem I am encountering is to do with timing. I have a Automator task to create an alias into the Drop Folder, and this works fine, however if I call it from within Hazel, by the time it executes Hazel has already finished and moved the file. (I would love to buy a faster Mac but I don't have the cash and don't think even that would solve this
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
Ideally if Hazel could create the Alias then I could create a sub-rule to move and alias files to the Drop Folder. Alternatively if a pause could be introduced into the Hazel rule, so you could specify something along the lines of
- Action 1 (run Automator script
Action 2 (pause 10 seconds)
Action 3 (move file)
If anyone has a work around for this I would love to here from them.
Cheers
