Merge Subfolders to Parent Folders / Rename

Hello Mr_Noodle,

I have following problem and hop You can help me. :-)

The situation I have, on example "Renault":

Cars (Monitored folder)
-- Renault (Parent folder)
---- Clio
-------- clio.jpg
-------- clio34.jpg
-------- clio 3.jpg
---- Megane
-------- megane.jpg
-------- megane 2.jpg
-------- megane_3.jpg
---- Laguna
-------- laguna8.jpg
-------- 3.0 V6 (Folder)
------------ laguna34.jpg
-------- 2.0 R4 (Folder)
------------ laguna3.jpg
------------ laguna23.jpg

The final situation should be:

Cars (Monitored folder)
-- Renault (Parent folder)
---- Renault_clio.jpg
---- Renault_clio34.jpg
---- Renault_clio 3.jpg
---- Renault_megane.jpg
---- Renault_megane 2.jpg
---- Renault_megane_3.jpg
---- Renault_laguna8.jpg
---- Renault_laguna34.jpg
---- Renault_laguna3.jpg
---- Renault_laguna23.jpg

I would like merge each subfolder to each Parent folder (in the example "Renault") and than add filename with the new folder name (in the example also "Renault").

In these forum I have looked to an solution, but I have't found it.

Greetings

First see the sticky article about telling Hazel to go into subfolders.

From there, you'll need a separate rule to move the files. You can use "enclosing folder" as a destination in the move action to do that part. To rename using the parent folder's name, you can do something like:

Code: Select all: If (all) are met If (all) are met for the enclosing folder Name matches (•parent name) Rename (•parent name)_(name)

To get the nested condition, hold down option while clicking the + button to create a new condition. For the rest, look up "match patterns" in the help. That should get you started.

Hello Mr. Noodle,

thank You for the quick answer, but I'm afraid to be to stupid for this. :-(

Renaming the files is in an other rule possible. But the 1st step is my problem again:
All files move in each parent Folder:

1st rule:

2nd rule:

For the second rule, try and input it as I showed (though you should add the "Kind is Image" condition to the top level as well).
