Optimize Hazel's processing speed Wed May 28, 2025 1:01 am • by moldystale
Hi, I'm new to Hazel.
I've set up Hazel to automatically organize my downloads folder, but I've noticed that it takes about 15 seconds for Hazel to process and move files, even for folders with only 10-15 files. Has anyone else experienced this delay?
Or are there any settings or troubleshooting tips to optimize Hazel's performance for faster processing?

Can you provide more details on what your rules are/do? You can check the logs by going to Help->View Logs. Turning on debug mode would help here as well: https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/hazel-debug-mode/
