Running rules only when a volume is mounted?
Posted: Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:14 pmI just downloaded the Hazel trial. Very impressed so far. I had a specific use case
which is to move all files in a set of folders more than 4 years old to the same folder structure on a separate, removable drive. I did this with rules to iterate through the sub folders and move the required files retaining the folder hierarchy (based on examples I found online).
But how do I run these rules just when the removable drive is mounted? It obviously doesn't make sense for Hazel to try to move the files when it is not.
For now, I have paused the folder and disabled the rule until I figure how how to add an extra condition to only run when the removable drive is mounted.
Thanks for any advice or sample rule.
