Hazel rule advice please

Tech Support

I have a rule which looks at folder of Notability PDFs and when a file is created where it is copied to another folder.

So far so good.

The issue is that it copies the file before it is finished. For example, I open a Notability file during meeting to take notes. Notability creates the PDF more or less as soon as I start writing and the Hazel rule runs. And that’s how it stays. As the meeting progresses I continue to add to the note and Notability continues to update the PDF. The problem is that Hazel has already copied the PDF to its destination folder and I can’t work out a rule to make sure the final version of the PDF is copied and moved.

If you can just add in the conditions for your rule:

Date Last Modified is not in the last 2 hours

Then it should withhold to act just when Notability has just created the PDF, while it is still up for change.
