Hazel is your personal housekeeper, organizing and cleaning folders based on rules you define. Hazel can also manage your trash.
Organize your files using a familiar rule interface. Filter on the file's name, type, date, the site or email address it came from and more. And do more than just file. You can set color labels, Spotlight keywords and comments and even archive files. Hazel also cleans, sporting options to clean out incomplete and duplicate downloads.
In addition, Hazel can manage your Trash for you, relieving you of having to empty it yourself.
All this is done automatically in the background allowing you to focus on your real work.
Limitations:
14 days trial.
Requirements:
Safari, Camino or Firefox (version 1.5 or higher).
What's New:
"Run rules now" now forces actions to be re-run on a file even if they have already been executed before. Should give better feedback to the user when testi ng out rules.
Added "minute" for time intervals in rules (but not in folder or trash optio ns). Note that there is a fudge factor of 5 minutes or so depending on when Haze l runs so do not expect precision greater than that.
Fixed various problems with date added. Date added was not getting reset whe n a file was re-added to a folder and it was also getting lost when a file was r e-saved by certain programs. Internal db changed to a hybrid name/file id table. It should behave as before 1.1.2 (which was the correct way) but still catch fi le renames in most cases (which is what the 1.1.2 changes were for).
Fixed crash when Firefox preferences were saved in a different encoding.
Fixed iTunes import failing when either the main library has been renamed or when running under a non-English localization.
Fixed problems when there are no iTunes or iPhoto libraries.
Fixed rule interface resetting the iPhoto action's album to "Library".
Fixed rule interface so that it remembers the selection whenever you change attributes.
