Subfolder "date last modified" matching Mon Nov 16, 2015 5:17 pm • by manonlaco
Hi,

I have a large tree of files, which hazel has organized into the following series of folders and subfolders:

Code: Select all
mm/yyyymmdd/”individual files”


By utilizing “date last modified”, I am able to reduce the number of directories hazel needs to crawl through to find new files. It appears that although the “date last modified” tag associated with the “yyyymmdd” subfolder will update as files are added into that specific subfolder, the “date last modified” tag associated with the “mm” enclosing folder does not update.

How can I tell hazel to descend into subfolders containing new files and have hazel avoid subfolders that who’s contents have not changed?

Thanks in advance.

Try getting rid of the second "Kind is Folder" condition and see if you can just find files or folders underneath the folder.

Keep in mind, though, that using "any of its subfiles" still has Hazel going down into folders so it may not necessarily be more efficient.
