![]() ![]() Oh, and I've never really understood the Automator (in Mac OS) tool in great detail. ![]() I am 100% sold on Hazel, and you will be too once you read this book. The author shows you how he names his files, how he organizes them, and he covers (once again with detailed screencasts) how to use some very powerful software to automate much of the organizing process.
