Getting rid of "File type not supported" (folders)
Posted: Thu Sep 21, 2023 1:53 amIn my Hazel Log I would have hundreds of messages like this:
2023-09-21 07:31:46.797 hazelworker[21940] File type not supported: {(
"public.item",
"public.folder",
"public.directory"
)}
To stop this happening, start each Hazel rule with the condition:
"Kind is PDF"
- The above is assuming that you are only dealing with PDF files. If you are dealing with more than one file type you can insert several options with an "If any of the following conditions are met" instruction like this:
VERY IMPORTANT: Ensure that the "Kind is:" instruction is the FIRST condition in your rule. If it is the second condition, Hazel will try to process the first condition on folders, giving you the error message above.
