The second rule will be for moving entire files full of photos to keep them organized by event. This one is useful for if they are just random photos taken and not for any particular event. The first rule will be to move individual photos. This condition will require two rules to get it right. Photos > Year > Month > Event Name > Photo.jpg. I not only use this one at work, but also on all of my home computers to organize all my photographs.įor this example, we will be able to drag a picture into a specific file and then have that file organize it in the following manner. This alone saves me an insane amount of time.

This rule might actually be my favorite one of them all. Automatically Organize Pictures from Various Events If you want to be able to use this rule elsewhere, you will need to change it accordingly for each folder. Keep in mind, this will only apply to the files on your desktop. I like to do this because it keeps everything clean and tidy.Īfter you have the conditions setup, all you will need to do is right click any item and set its color label to green or whatever color you chose.

If the file’s color label is green, then it will run the condition.

Also, lets setup this rule under our Desktop folder for ease of use. This will have to be done for each ministry.įor the example below, you will want to make sure you create a folder somewhere called Ministries and within that folder create another one called W omen’s Ministry. You will want to name it whatever that ministry is called. Go ahead and open up Hazel and click the + to add a new rule. We want those color labels to be sorted into files for each ministry within one folder called “ Ministries“.

If you often find your desktop cluttered with various files from the Women’s Ministry all the way down to the Croquet Ministry, then this rule will definitely benefit you.įor this example, we’re going to be able to quickly mark files for different departments and have it sort it to a specific folder.
