Kind of file not recognised Tue Aug 09, 2016 9:57 pm • by mkihr
Hello!

I have a rule that should select movie kind of file. The kind shown in the info for the file is MPEG-4 Video. It worked till know when I select in the rules "Kind is Movie". But now, suddenly, it shows that this rule does not match.

I am using Hazel 4.0.5 on OSX 10.11.6

Did you remove an app that handles MPEG-4 files? All the "Kind" stuff is determined by the apps that handles files so it might be the case that by removing an app that handles those files, the categorization for it is also gone.

Hello! Behaviour is a bit strange. After a reboot everything works again as expected.
