how to create an alias in the original folder?

Hi

I'm trying to build a rule to move a file with Hazel and replace it with an alias. I'm finding that the options for creating an alias only allow me to create an alias in the "enclosing" folder (i.e. the parent folder) not the original folder.

If I had just one source folder for Hazel to monitor, I could of course explicitly specify the folder to create the alias in as part of the rule.

However, I would like Hazel to work through some subfolders, creating aliases wherever the original file was. Hence I need some way to tell the 'make alias' command to do it's thing in the 'current' folder.

Anyone know if this is possible?

Many thanks in advance.

First off, please do not post support questions in the Tips & Tricks forum. There's a sticky up top saying not to. It tends to pollute the forum with support questions as can be seen with the minefield of moved topics.

Could you describe what happens to the original? Or do you want the original sitting in the same folder with it's alias and if so, why?
