European/UK Hazel Rules for Extracting Date out of Files are Online

The very kind Daniel Andrews from the UK send me in European/UK rules. They and the European/German rules are basically the same, with the difference, that the month-names are English now. I'm distributing the UK rules with his awareness :-)

European/German Hazel Rules for Extracting Date out of Files are Online

I finished the European/German rules. I was faster then I planned I would be, because the rules I had from earlier were not as bad as I thought.

Rename File by Extracting Date from Content with Hazel

General Stuff about the Rules

I made Hazel rules for dates with the two formats:

- Gregorian little-endian, starting with day (Day-Month-Year, Europe)

- Middle-endian, starting with month (Month-Day-Year, U.S./English)

In addition both versions support the Gregorian big-endian, starting with year (Year-Month-Day) format.

Automatically Backup Calendar to Dropbox with Keyboard Maestro

Everybody heard (e.g. here) of syncing errors, data loss, doubled entries with Calendar and iCloud. But even if iCloud gets more reliable one day, it is nice to have an additional, up-to-date backup of Your Calendar data. Of cause Time Machine does the job, too. But I like having an off-side in-the-cloud backup and I like Dropbox(referral link). Maybe there are other ways to automatically do the backup, but on a quick web research I didn’t find anything for my needs. So I created a time triggered Keyboard Maestro workflow, which does the job.

Automatically Backup Contacts to Dropbox with Keyboard Maestro

This article is about automatically backing up a Contacts app archive. The whole workflow is very similar to Automatically Backup Calendar to Dropbox with Keyboard Maestro, so I won’t go into details.
