Hi, i just bought hazel and found a lot of free lectures with each between 5 and 10 parts that i would love to automatically store in folders according to their name.

Problem is that the file names are "subject_part1.mp3" "subject_part2.mp3" etc
so if i sort into new folder based on the name a lot of folders will be made - and since i have more than 2000 small parts of lectures i really need this to be fixed

So is there a way to make the folder name only look at the first part of the filenames so they will get sorted into a folder called "subject" without the "part_x"

The recording time or length of the lectureparts are not useful

This is on the feature list. While you can make rules for specific cases (i.e. "If name starts with 'subject'") you can't do it in a more dynamic fashion. The only workaround at the moment is to use Applescript.
