Hello,

I want generate a filename with date and a value of a dialog Box.

That would be my workflow:
- show the first page of the file in the Preview-Window
- display a dialog box with the current filename (in front of the preview). Now i can edit the current filename.
- After pressing OK -> close the Preview and rename the file
- move the file

Is this a possible workflow?

Thank You

You'll need an AppleScript to do this. You can search the in-app help on how to integrate an AppleScript with Hazel but for the script itself, you'll have to hunt around and/or learn AppleScript. Or maybe one of the more AppleScript-savvy members here can chime in.
