Move files Wed Dec 16, 2015 2:59 am • by bagrov
Hello guys.

I'm trying to move files to subfolder (subfolder name pattern: day/month/year) based on it's date of creation.
And then I need to allocate 3 types of files to three folders:

- .LRV to 'Low-Res'
- .MP4 to 'Videos'
- .JPG to 'Pictures'

I could move all files to subfolders, but no luck yet with the allocation.

Note that a file can only match one rule so the second rule will probably not ever get matched. Also, you are sorting it into a subfolder which means that you would also need to have Hazel go into subfolders to find it. You are better off here combining it into one rule. You can specify a pattern like "(date created)>low-res" in the Sort into subfolder rule, where > is the folder separate attribute you should see in the interface.
