Feature Request: Individual folder notification settings

As per the subject, I'd like to suggestion an option (which I couldn't find in the settings) for each folder to have individual notification options. There's an option in the drop-down action menus to "Display notification" but I'd like it if there was one for "Don't display notification" as well, or just a checkbox, maybe one that reveals an extra pane or section for custom notifications?

Thanks for making great software. :)

Thanks for the suggestion. There's no option for that now. While not ideal, you can turn off all notifications in the preferences and then use the Display notification action in the rules you care to get notifications for.

Thanks. I might try that. I wasn't sure if the display notification option for the individual rules bypassed the global setting or not.

I've just found this thread after posting a similar question.

I've turned off Notifications for Hazel in the Notification centre but even if I add a rule such as:

'Display Notification' with pattern: 'file,rule,folder' no notification appears at all.

Does it show up if you open up notification center? Sometimes notifications will be sent but the OS will decide, for whatever reason, to not have them pop up.

Ah ha that does indeed seem randomly to be the case.

That adds weight I think go the argument that individual rule notification options would be useful. If it at least could be considered :)

It has nothing to do with that. The OS determines which notifications to show and Hazel has no control over that.

Okay fair enough...
