Hazel 6.0.1

Noodlesoft’s Hazel automation and cleanup utility has been updated to version 6, a major new release with numerous additions and improvements, and support for macOS 15 Sequoia. Hazel 6.0 can now perform on-the-fly text recognition, lets you specify a password to read encrypted PDFs, enables you to revert files processed by Hazel via Finder’s contextual menu, introduces Custom List Attributes that enable you to to match and store lists of items and then reassign them to other lists, and adds support for locked files. The release also enables you to reset the counter attribute for a folder via Finder’s contextual menu, ensures the Spotlight-activated “Contents contain” feature works more reliably, shows the folder options toolbar by default, and now requires a minimum of macOS 12 Monterey. Shortly after publishing, version 6.0.1 was issued to fix bugs that prevented text recognition from working and caused the content field to be illegible in Dark mode when in preview mode. Owners of a previous license can upgrade to Hazel 6 for $20. ($42 new, $20 upgrade, 27.5 MB, release notes, macOS 10.14+)
