After wowing a large Apple user group with a presentation on Hazel, I received this follow-up question which I don't know the answer to:

Can you make a rule that can place a file in a password protected disk image or volume?
Is there a way for Hazel call up/remember this password every time it’s needed?

You'd need a script to do that unless the volume is already mounted and unlocked.

Any hints on where I might find a template or example of a script which does that?

(the requirement to be able to do so is the only obstacle preventing my colleague from purchasing Hazel)

If they want the volume mounted, you can either look into using the automounter in OS X, or use the "mount" command to do it manually (for diskimages, you'd want to use the hdiutil command).

Beyond that, it's outside the support I can give. You can try searching the forums to see if someone has done a similar script otherwise you'll have to search the internet at large for scripts to do this.

I encountered the same problem of accessing encrypted disk images and found the solution in the script described here:
