Other customers can upgrade for $10, regardless of the type of license they originally bought. Customers who bought Hazel 3 since Septemwill receive Hazel 4 for free. New users can buy Hazel 4 for $32 for an individual license, and $49 for a family license. Hazel 4, which requires a Mac running 10.10 (Yosemite) or later, is available directly from Noodlesoft. That, along with syncing and the other refinements that Hazel 4 brings to the table, makes Hazel 4 an automation powerhouse that is well worth its price. The ability to preview rules and check on their past performance through the status interface goes a long way toward improving the development of rules. Hazel is a complex and powerful tool that is easy to get into with simple rules, but a little daunting when you try to do something more complicated. Hazel 4 has a number of other nice additions and refinements such as the ability to search your rules, which makes it easier for those with large numbers of rules to find a particular rule, and an action that lets you toggle the display of a matching file’s file extension. Unlike regular folders, you cannot perform actions that require access to, or matching of, subfiles or subfolders. There is one caveat to using Hazel with Smart Folders, though. Select Sign in and choose an account or enter your account details. Note: If you see Manage profile settings, youre already signed in. If you see an option to sign in, continue to the next step. Select Manage profile settings > Sync > Turn on sync. With over 20 attributes to chose from, each of which has several states that can be monitored, and a similar number of actions that can be taken, the permutations are seemingly endless.Īlso new to Hazel 4 is the ability to monitor and apply rules to files in Smart Folders. Select the profile image in the browser taskbar.
For example, you could monitor your Downloads folder to check whether the ‘Date Added’ of each file in that folder ’is not in the last 30 days’, and if any are, ‘Move’ those files to the Trash. 1 To create a rule, click the ‘+’ button at the bottom of the ‘Rules’ list to open the rule-builder, name your rule, pick attributes to monitor, and define the states of those attributes that will trigger an action.
To build a rule click the ‘Folders’ tab in the Hazel preference pane and select a folder to monitor. The process for setting up a Hazel rule is reminiscent of building a Smart Playlist in iTunes. Hazel resides in System Preferences as its own pane and works in a manner similar to the IFTTT web service, but instead of taking actions based on web service inputs, Hazel takes actions based on file attributes. Today, Hazel 4 was released with new features and refinements that bring new power and convenience to an already exceptional app. By automating what would otherwise be repetitive file management tasks, Hazel helps keep me focused on more important tasks. Step 2: Run HTC Sync Manager and connect HTC with computer. Launch the installer and follow the simple on screen instruction. Judging from the Noodlesoft forums, there are many people who use Hazel far more heavily than I do, but it is no less important to my Mac setup. Download the HTC Sync Manager installer from the HTC support center site. Hazel is one of the first utilities that I install when I get a new Mac.
