Hi everybody
I have installed a new OS on my mac and I have lost Hazel's rules.
May I take them back from a Time Machine's back up?

If you have a Time Machine backup, try the following procedure:

Quit System Preferences.
Launch Activity Monitor and find HazelHelper. Quit the process.
Find cfprefsd. Kill any that you can (some may be for other accounts and you can't kill them).
Restore the following:
- In your Library/Application Support folder, the Hazel folder
- In your Library/Preferences folder, the files starting with com.noodlesoft.
Reboot.

Thanks.
I'll try this procedure later and I let you know the result

It works. Thank you very much

I had my laptop hard drive die this morning. I'm looking on the Time Machine backup and I'm not seeing a Hazel folder (in Library) nor files that being with com.noodlesoft. Was there a setting I need to have turned on in order to have had Hazel creating these all along?

<<Update>> I needed to have used the "Show Invisible Files" app to first find the Library folder within my user account. I was originally searching in the main Library folder a few levels up. Problem solved.
