Frequent error in logs Thu Aug 21, 2014 9:23 am • by nacohen
I have a Hazel rule set that goes through my Application folder and labels with a color the apps recently used and those last used more than a year ago.

I keep getting errors like the following in my log:

2014-08-21 06:14:06.328 hazelworker[839] Reminders.app: Rule Recently Used matched.
2014-08-21 06:14:06.333 hazelworker[839] Could not set tags for URL file:///Applications/Reminders.app/: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-5000 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -5000.)" (afpAccessDenied: Insufficient access privileges for operation )

Certainly looks like a privilege issue. Any suggestions on a workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks,

The only workaround I can think of is to change the permissions on the apps. In general, it's not a good idea to give everyone write permissions or to change the owner but you can add yourself to a group and change the permissions to allow group write access.
