Moving files to a folder from the desktop

Moving files to a folder from the desktop Sun Nov 05, 2006 2:30 pm • by dwebb66
I have used (and tweaked) the demo rules that color files based on their age:

<1 week Green
>1 & <2 weeks Blue
> 2 weeks No Color and move to a folder on the desktop.

It has been over two weeks and the first two rules are working, but the third one is not. Is there a way to see the 'Date Added' for each of teh files?

Unfortunately, there is not easy way to check the date added. If you are feeling adventurous, drop me an email and I can give you instructions on how to dig through Hazel's internal db to find it.

One easy thing to check is the logs in Console.app. Look and see what rule Hazel is matching against the files (if any). Let me know what you find there and we can go from there.
