Product Description:
Hazel is your personal housekeeper, organizing and cleaning folders based on rules you define. Hazel can also manage your trash and uninstall applications. Organize your files using a familiar rule interface. Filter on the file's name, type, date, the site or email address it came from and more. And do more than just file. You can set color labels, Spotlight keywords and comments and even archive files. Hazel also cleans, sporting options to clean out incomplete and duplicate downloads. In addition, Hazel can manage your Trash for you, relieving you of having to empty it yourself. All this is done automatically in the background allowing you to focus on your real work.
What's new in this version:
Version 2.3.3:
- [Snow Leopard] Hazel, when running on Snow Leopard, now uses Snow Leopard's data size units. Snow Leopard changed its notion of kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB), gigabyte (GB) to be base 10 instead of base 2. Hazel now matches this but brings up a warning since this changes the interpretation of file sizes in trash settings and rules.
- Fixed the "Library" playlist not showing up in the pop-up for the "Import into iTunes" action with iTunes 9 installed.
- Fixed AppSweep window not showing icons.
- The AppSweep window is now Spaces aware. Should appear in the active Space.
- When rules are imported, if the rules file's name matches a folder, it will be initially selected in the list.
- Fixed the rename function not working when invoked from the contextual or action menus.
- Will now scroll to the selected folder in the folder list on startup if it isn't normally visible.
- UI optimizations.
- Improvements/fixes to AppSweep's scanning of PDF services.
- App Sweep will no longer consider apps only on disk images to be installed. As a result, if the last copy of an app is on a disk image, it will not stop App Sweep as it did before.
- Fixed crash of the background process.
- Files with modification dates set too far into the future will no longer be considered "busy".
- [Snow Leopard] Hazel may accumulate numerous temporary files in your preferences folder. This problem has been minimized greatly but will not totally go away until a fix is provided by Apple. You can remove any of the files that end in random characters, but not the ones that end in just .plist
- [Snow Leopard] Added workaround for Apple bug where its move/copy routine would fail for files with slashes (/) in their name (these are the equivalent of colons (:) when using UNIX paths).
- [Snow Leopard] Fixed a couple cases of rule conditions failing on accented characters.
- [Snow Leopard] Fixed various deprecation warnings.
- Fixed error in logs when using the preview function.
- Made improvements to code that handles Firefox (and related browsers) prefs. Should be able to deal with multiple profiles now.
- Various memory optimizations including plugging a memory leak or two.
- Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes for stability.

I've just started using the product but already its saved me a huge amount of time and effort. I make a lot of screen captures and now Hazel tags them automatically with the display profile, while another "batch" can optionally be used to convert to sRGB. I've got the product setup to auto delete old emails in specific folders for Mail. Tech support is superb! I emailed prior to buying about a script issue and got a fix that day. The only thing keeping a five star across the boards is yes, its a bit pricey but considering what I charge <g> and how its saved me time, I can't really complain.

With this update I no longer have a menu bar icon for Hazel, even though I have the preference for it checked.

for something I can and quickly do *much* better myself (thank you) for *free.*
Still, I can't help but wonder if Merlin Mann uses this program.
Then again, I paid $100 for Tiger. So, *20 percent* of that --- just to do what I'm already doing (easily and well enough for free) --- for another One Trick Pony --- seems a little steep. At least for me.
YMMV.
