Cannot move file Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:08 am • by K3it4r0
Hi all,
Unfortunately I have a problem with a "move to" rule. I have to move a file with a certain tag to another folder, but it doesn't work.
Both the folders are on my local disk.
Here a screen of the rule on hazel:

and here is the log:

Code: Select all

It clearly say "file moved", but the original file stay in its folder!
What am I doing wrong?

When you do a copy, subsequent actions apply to the copy, not the original. You might want to start with a Move, then Copy after that.
