Hazel's sync module and channel implementation uses libatomic. It is most likely already installed on your system, but if not, you can install it, by doing the following: MacOS: already installed Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install libatomic1 Fedora/CentOS/RH: sudo dnf install libatomic-static.
What is DropIt?
- Hazel will run whatever you throw at it, making it easy for you to integrate into your workflow. Work undisturbed Hazel works quietly in the background allowing you to focus on your real tasks.
- Noodlesoft – Noodlesoft – Simply Useful Software. Automatically Organize. Hazel watches whatever folders you tell it to, automatically organizing your files according to the rules you create. Have Hazel move files around based on name, date, type, what site it came from and much more. Automatically sort your movies or file your bills.
- Like Hazel, File Juggler can do many things with your files, but I will be focusing on using it to process your paperless documents. Create Rules The way File Juggler works is you tell it to watch a folder (or folders), and create rules that tell it to take some sort of action when something happens in the folders that meets those rules.
When you need to organize files, DropIt can eliminate much of the drudgery of searching and manually opening folders and moving files around.
Drop a group of different files and folders on the floating DropIt image and it sorts them to defined destination folders, compresses or extracts them, opens them with associated programs or performs other defined actions.
You can define how to filter your files (by name, directory, size, date, properties, content, regular expressions) and associate one of the 21 available actions to perform (Move, Copy, Compress, Extract, Rename, Delete, Split, Join, Encrypt, Decrypt, Open With, Print, Upload, Send by Mail, Create Gallery, Create List, Create Playlist, Create Shortcut, Copy to Clipboard, Change Properties and Ignore). You can also organize your associations in profiles and automatically scan monitored folders at a defined time interval to process included files.
