Hi.

Is there are a way in Hazel to compare if a file/folder is newer than another one?

Thanks in advance.

Can you describe what you ultimately want to do? In general, you would probably need a script for this but there may be specific cases where you can do it some other way.

Hi.
Thank you for your reply.
I need to trigger the execution of a script whenever a given file has been updated. I keep a copy of the file somewhere else and I want to execute a script if there is a newer version of that file.

Hope this helps.

So you want one file to be processed when a totally different file is updated? In that case, you'll probably need to do a script.

It's not a totally different file, it's a copy of the same file.

I don't think there's a way to have Hazel correlate the files without using a script unfortunately so I suggest going that route.

OK, thanks.
