Hello Noodlesoft

In your opinion ..

What is the safest way for Hazel to measure if a growing file has stopped growing?
Case in point ... a video file thats been transcoded by some transcoding app

Kind regards Nils

Not sure how reliable it will be but you can try something like:
Code: Select all
    If all are met
        Date modified is not in the last 5 minutes
        Size did not change

That will match if the file hasn't changed in the last 5 minutes. You might want to add something to make sure you aren't continually matching the file after you process it.
