index Rule Conditions

You will need at least one condition for the rule to test for. It can be the type of file, something about its name, how big it is, or some other attribute. These other attributes can be things like someone's nickname kept in a Person file or the e-mail address in the To: field of an e-mail. Note that these can appear on just about any kind of file, but generally will only be found on the kind of file you expect it to be on. A rule will only match if all the conditions you set are met.

If a rule doesn't work right, try running Filer from the Terminal to see what it's doing as it processes your files.

Delete itOnly if you're sure of yourself and hate a cluttered Trash can. Terminal command…For experts. Run a command just as if you typed it into a Terminal. Substitutions (see below) are performed before the command is executed. This can make the Filer automatically do all sorts of things it couldn't do otherwise. If you move or rename the file this way, you'll need to do everything else with more Terminal command actions or a shell script. +

At this point, unfortunately, the case-sensitive, technical name of the attribute must be used. For example, an e-mail address attribute is META:email.
