Changing order of actions?

Hi,

maybe I'm just missing a simple way to do this bt I can't figure how to change the order of my rules.

Let's say for example I have:

______________________
set color label to red - +
copy file to location
set color label to blue - +
______________________


and I wanna change it to:

______________________
set color label to blue - +
copy file to location
set color label to red - +
______________________


...without rewriting the rule of course.

In this case it is not a deal, I can solve this with a few clicks but if I have a longer list of actions with embedded scripts and whatever, I don't get how I can for example add a growl notification (for example "hazel started to run scripts") to be run as the first action without having to set up everything again.


Thanks and regards,


V

It's on the feature list though not sure when it will happen. Most likely when Hazel goes Leopard-only.

Great, thanks!

Is there an official feature- and known-bug list somewhere here so I could check there before I post my next idea?

best,


V

It's not public but there is an internal list I maintain. If you have a suggestion or request, by all means, post/email about it. Even if it has been requested before, it gives me a sense of how many people want the feature so don't worry about posting a dupe. If you want, you can search the forums before posting and seeing if a thread already exists for it. It will help at least keep the requests for the same thing together.

I take it that 3 years on and still no action re-order that it is not going to happen anytime soon ??

Is there even a 'hidden' way to re-order actions ?? I mean, can I manually hack a .plist somewhere to re-order my actions. I hate the thought of having to re-create my rules to add in a common first step to all my rules.

It is in version 3 which is still being worked on (I suggest checking the beta forums for new developments). No way to do that now in 2.x, unfortunately.
