hazelStop not stopping Hazel

[textuals]

hello!

First off, love this application - it is fantastic - use it everyday and am trying to figure out how to get even more out of it by scripting...

Unfortunately my AppleScripting skills arent near mad yet, so having some problems..

Wrote a Hazel rule to move movie files after im done with them.

I want the rule to run *only* if an external drive is currently attached and mounted.

Code: Select all

tell application "Finder"
   set external_disk to "tuals 2TB"
   set diskExists to false
   set hazelStop to false
   try
      if exists disk external_disk then
         set diskExists to true
      else if diskExists is false then
         set hazelStop to true
      end if
   end try
end tell

hazelStop doesnt seem to be stopping hazel; as I get multiple 'cannot move X file to tuals 2TB' notifications via Growl whenever Im not at home (connected to the tuals 2B disk).

This AppleScript works running from ScriptEditor; and i even threw in a couple dialog notifications to be sure...No problem works as expected...

Any thoughts or amazing script fu?

Check the help. You don't set a variable called hazelStop but instead you have to return a record wth hazelStop as a key.

Code: Select all

return {hazelStop:true}

Give that a try.
