Hi Hazel Gurus!

I have been struggling for a while trying to figure out a rule.

Here's some background info:

I have an application which creates a .MP3 file (automatically named with date / time) into folder "A".
When I process this file using a different application, a .RTF file (same name as original .mp3) is created and placed in folder "B".

Rule Requirements
When a .RTF file is created in folder "B" (same name as original .MP3 file), Move .MP3 file (same name as .RTF file) out of folder "A" and into the trash.

Hope the above makes sense.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Don't really think this is doable without a script. You can use a script in a condition to check for the existence of the other file in this case.
