Hazel 2.0.2 doesn’t just organize your files by the color of their label but by the character of their content
Do you use Hazel? If you don’t, there is probably some part of your Mac that could use its powers of automation and organization.
If you do use Hazel, then you need to go download the update to version 2.0.2. The update adds many bug fixes (listed after the fold) but also adds a feature that enables Hazel to use the Spotlight indexed content of your files to allow it to automatically organize them as you see fit.
I have lauded the merits of Hazel before, but to sum up, Hazel is a housekeeper for your folders and files. Using a powerful rule engine, you can easily keep your files automatically organized. And Hazel also features options for managing your Trash.
Hazel sells for USD$$21.95. Go get it!
New Features:
- Added “Contents” attribute. Represents the text content of the file. Note that this only includes text indexed by Spotlight. If you can find a file by searching on a particular word, then that word is considered to be contained in the contents.
Fixes:
- Trash limits were broken in recent releases. This has been fixed.
- The “Rename” and “Sort into Subfolders” actions should now prevent the creation of any files starting with a dot (“.”) as this would make them invisible in Finder.
- The “extension” attribute in the “Sort into Subfolders” action no longer prepends the dot (“.”). This should prevent the creation of unintentional extensions on folders.
- Fixed date added being incorrect for files in subfolders when the subfolder is added.
- iPhoto was importing returning before importing was complete. Doing a move action right afterwards would sometimes interfere with the import. Now, the import should complete before the next action is run.
- Fixed some of the glitches in the field used to edit patterns. There are still some odd Apple bugs left.
- Fixed moving a file into a subfolder failing if the file exists. Now renumbers the file as needed.
- Other miscellaneous tweaks and fixes.
