Hi,

First I would like to thank mrnoodle for this great program. I am enjoying both the functionality and the mind workout this great app is giving me.

I am using hazel predominantly for OCR filing.

How I thought the best practice would be is one folder that all OCR documents are caught with that moves the files into subfolders where they would be filtered with other HAZEL rules until they are ready to be filed into evernote.

In that folder there are just two (2) rules, is it for work?, is it not for work?

Work has a few names that the PDF would contain, eg "Trans-United", "Bunk", "Trans-Unit", Trans United" etc.



The other one does not contain these words, it is far reaching that anything could show up. For example, kids soccer receipts, health documents.

I set up this rule:



Question: Is that the most efficient way to do that (using the none rule)? I just wanted some advice so before I continue on down my folder tree I can start correctly.

And do you think this is the best practice, the "Filter to the folder below"



Thanks

Hans

You don't need to specify all those conditions in both rules. If a file matches the first rule, its actions get executed and that's the end of it. If a file does not match that rule, it will then be matched against subsequent rules until one matches. So, in your second rule, you can replace all those conditions with "Any file" which will match anything.
