Hi

I am in love with Hazel. That was my grandmother's name. It has turned my 3K computer into a real computer...hahaha.


I have an inbox folder that receives my email attachments. If it receives a PDF it files it away for my just as I asked. Yet I receive PDFs from a friend that I need stored elsewhere. So I created a rule that states that if the "Where from" (in the more info) has Steven Cook (they always do) , then place in the Steve folder.



My problem is that they are PDFs first so Steve's pdfs are stored with the others. How do I sort this out?


Thanks!

Well I have been playing around and I have found out why I am having trouble.


I am attempting to sort pdfs by the "Where From" spotlight option. What I have found is that Hazel will not allow me to only use a portion of that text.

For example:

I want all PDFs from Steve to go into a Steve folder, and the same for Ryan. They are both identified within the More Info/ Where From.

I set a rule that says /where from/ contain/ ryan

This does not work even though ryan is clearly in the where from info. My guess is that Hazel wants all that information listed.


Any ideas?

Thanks!!!!

Use the built-in "Source URL/address" attribute. It looks at the same info but is a tad smarter about how to filter on it.

I will try!

Thanks!
