| Dec 25, 2019 at 0:54 | comment | added | red_menace | I had time for a closer look at Hazel, and although an embedded script can't contain handlers (since it apparently is a handler), it can contain script objects. A (regular) script with its own properties and handlers can be developed and tested, then encapsulated in a script object, where its properties can be set and it can be run (or its handlers called) like any other. I've updated my answer to include that. | |

updated to use a script object

| Dec 17, 2019 at 1:45 | comment | added | David | Thanks again red_menace. My only issue now is embedding it into Hazel which for some reason it is not being accepted by embedded script editor. I guess I will need to contact the developer to see what the problem is. | |
| Dec 17, 2019 at 1:32 | comment | added | red_menace | @David Somehow I knew you were going to ask that. The handler is set up to be tweaked, so I've updated it to include that option (the posted script will always include a suffix). | |

add option to always include suffix
|
| Dec 17, 2019 at 0:30 | comment | added | David | red_menace, One last request. How do I make the numerical suffix to always start with 1 (Junior the Cat 1.jpg) instead of just the name with no number (Junior the Cat.jpg)? | |

| Dec 16, 2019 at 23:57 | comment | added | David | red_menace THANK YOU!!! After days of working on this on my own I finally got it working thanks to you. I was using a renaming script I found on github (gist.github.com/oliveratgithub/b9030365c9ae483984ea). For some reason it was not working with renaming the items I move into the old folder. I will make sure to visit your website at menace-enterprises.com where you have tons of useful scripts. | |
