Feature request: change monitored directory Tue Mar 30, 2021 4:43 am • by luoto
Could the feature be added (if it exists, I've not found it in Hazel 5) to modify an existing script-action so that the monitored directory can be changed, e.g. if you rename the directory within the OS? So far I've had to recreate the script-action with new directories.

A small thing, but if possible...

Add the new folder, select all rules from the old folder, drag and drop to the new folder.

Ah, I didn't know you could drag and drop the rules. Thank you!

Yep! Its very cool. It just duplicates them. Obviously then you can delete the old folder.
