First, the video to achieve the effect on: https://v.qq.com/x/page/x3021yp3u3a.html
- Software used to realize this function
- Hazel: you can download it on the Internet
- Automator: the self-contained Automator on the Mac can search through command+space
- Specific functions to be realized
- When files (Excel, Word, PDF, etc.) sent by wechat friends are received, they are automatically saved to the corresponding directory, and the file type can be set through the variable filterRules;
- The file receives a time limit. For example, only the files in the last 5 minutes are processed. It is configured through the parameter filterTime, and the unit is minutes
- The directory for automatically saving files can be set through the variable chooseFromList, or you can manually select other file directories
- The file already exists. A pop-up window will prompt whether to overwrite it
- Mark the files and tag each file (e.g. tag excel for Excel document) to facilitate future search
- When a file is saved for the first time, it is opened for the first time by default
- Usage scenario
- Work related files: I will choose to move to the work related directory. Here, I will move to the automatic processing directory. Hazel will listen to the directory, classify and label the files. If it is a log file, I will add a time prefix before the file name by default and open the log file
- Personal files: I will select a directory to save
- Implementation steps
- The first is to create Hazel folder rules
- Focus on the rules of the MessageTemp folder
- First, how to let Hazel know that a friend in wechat sent you a file. Here, you only need to listen to the folder of wechat chat file cache, which is roughly located in the directory of / Users/xxxxxx/Library/Containers/com.tencent.xinWeChat/Data/Library/Application Support/com.tencent.xinWeChat/2.0b4.0.9/09af4488ac59013c076d683513a0e252/Message/MessageTemp /;
- Then, when listening to a new file in this folder, trigger an Automator workflow to move the file. Why can't Hazel move it directly here? Because there are many subfolders in the MessageTemp directory, and the chat file is in a subfolder, Hazel can't determine which new file needs to be moved, So here we use the Automator workflow to move;
There are many subfolders in the MessageTemp directory
- Implementation of Automator workflow
Step 1: create an Automator of type workflow
Step 2: implement the Automator workflow
- Process 1: get variable filterRules filter rules
- Process 2: get the File directory triggered by Hazel monitoring (a subdirectory under MessageTemp), then get all the files in the OpenData and File directory under the folder, and then execute the filter rules to filter out the files that do not need to be processed
- Process 3: convert the file into a file path (now it seems a little redundant)
- Process 4: get the value of the variable chooseFromList
- Process 5: let the user select the target directory
- Process 6: get the target directory selected by the user and all files to be processed, and copy the files
The AppleScript script corresponding to process 2 is as follows:
on run {input, parameters}
-- Get filter rule
set rule to item -1 of input
--take input Set to pending directory
set input to item 1 of input
set folderPath1 to (input as text) & "OpenData:"
set folderPath2 to (input as text) & "File:"
tell application "Finder"
try
set files1 to get document files of folder folderPath1
set files2 to get document files of folder folderPath2

try
set SuffixRules to suffix of rule
set stopStartRule to false
--Creation time
set theFileDate to (creation date of aFile as string)
set oneminutes to (current date) - 1 * minutes
if theFileDate > oneminutes then
--Whether it is in the extension rule. If it is, it is directly put in filterFiles No subsequent rule filtering
repeat with suffix in SuffixRules
if (extensionName as text) ends with suffix then
set the end of filterFiles to aFile
set stopStartRule to true
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
-- Rules that start with what and don't end with what are and
if stopStartRule is false then
-- What to start with and what not to end with
set startRules to start of rule

if fileName starts with startRule then
set notEndRules to notEnd of rule
set needAdd to true
repeat with notEndRule in notEndRules
if extensionName = notEndRule then

end runThe AppleScript script corresponding to process 3 is as follows:
on run {input, parameters}
if (count of input) ≤ 0 then
-- There are no files to move
display notification "There are no files to move"
return {}

set params to {}

set theArray to text items of theString
--Restore old settings
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelimiters
return theArray
end theSplitThe AppleScript script corresponding to process 5 is as follows:
on run {input, parameters}
-- Get drop-down box option value
set chooseFromList to item -1 of input
set chooseFromList to theSplit(chooseFromList, "|")
--Eliminate variable parameters
set input to items 1 through -2 of input
if input is {} then
return {}
else
set flodPath to choose from list chooseFromList & "Select Folder"
--display dialog ((flodPath) as text)
if flodPath is false then
return
end if
set re to item -1 of flodPath
if re = "Select Folder" then
set folderSelected to choose folder "Select a folder"
if folderSelected is false then return

set filesPaths to items 1 through -2 of input

The above is all the steps to realize this function. If necessary, you can also download it in the attachment at the back of the article. The implementation process has gone through hardships because you have not been in contact with AppleScript language before.
