I've started experiencing hangs on Catalina over the past week or so which typically manifest as a frozen (or extremely slow) screen saver screen when I come back to my iMac. I suspect it is Hazel related because it coincides with:
- * Odd behavior of Hazel reprocessing many (1000s) of PDF files from several years ago (bank statements that Hazel renames and files automatically)
* Entries in the system log that suggests Hazelworker is throwing exceptions -- see below (some details changed for privacy). There are many such log entries showing up in Console.
I can't tell if the IMac is truly frozen or just so slow so as to be unresponsive, but I end up having to force a hard restart. I also can't readily tell if this is the same as the other symptoms reported on this thread, but it sounds similar enough that I thought I'd start here before going to the main forum. The fact that Hazel is reprocessing all of these files makes me wonder if its internal mechanisms for marking files as processed has somehow been corrupted?
Any suggestions on how to debug this further would be appreciated -- thanks in advance.
Ramon
