NOODLESOFT HAZEL REVIEW UPDATE

At the top of my personal list is full-blown support for uninstalling an application and the ability to preview rule matches so you can polish your criteria before flipping the switch.

NOODLESOFT HAZEL REVIEW UPDATE

Have I piqued your interest? Good, because Paul Kim at Noodlesoft has just released a much-anticipated Hazel 2.0 update in beta with some significant new features. All this is done completely and transparently in the background, allowing you to get things done while Hazel works its magic. Hazel can even manage your Trash for you by setting a specific time frame after which older (but not all) files should be deleted, or even a size limit that the Trash should be kept under (say, 2 GB). Hazel can automatically import image files into iPhoto, music into iTunes, add Spotlight comments, organize files into folders and even subfolders, add Finder color labels to files, run AppleScripts and so much more. Hazel's abilities don't stop there, however not by a long shot.

SIT, etc., and automatically move them to a Software folder once they're a day old.

For a basic example, you could create a rule that watches your Desktop for downloaded files types like. If you haven't seen our previous coverage, Hazel is - in a nutshell - your 'personal housecleaner,' allowing you to specify rules for moving and organizing your files just like you would with Mail messages. Hazel is one of those truly clever, useful apps that I think could make the Mac computing world a better place if everyone bought a license (and used it, of course).
