Bulk edit? Mon Feb 16, 2015 10:49 pm • by mazeomatic
Is there anyway to bulk edit all my rules?

I need to change the copy path on all of my tv show rules.

example

copy to /Volumes/EXTERNAL1/TV

bulk change to copy to /Volumes/EXTERNAL2/TV

Thanks!

Can't really do it after the fact. But from here on out, if this is something that will happen again, instead have a rule move to that base folder, use the "Continue" action to allow rule matching to continue on to other rules, then have those rules use Sort into Subfolder. That way, you only have one rule to modify should the base folder change again.

I would like to add something to this.

Since Evernote "upgraded" to v10, I've lost the works on every AppleScript I've paired with a Hazel rule.

I can be worked around by changing the beginning of the tell block on these scripts from
Code: Select all
tell application "Evernote"


To:
Code: Select all
tell application "Evernote Legacy"


As that should be done for every rule I've set in place, I wonder if there's no way to edit the raw rules file to batch change this.

No, there is no way to do that. You'll have to edit every script. If it's the same script in each case, consider using an external script instead of an embedded one.
