Huge image folder Sat Nov 05, 2016 1:58 pm • by Rheinhesse
Hey,

At first I would like to say, that Hazel is very useful to me.
But I have got an issue I can't solve.
I have got a huge picture folder (About 250 GB) with about 50 sub-folders.
Now I want Hazel to go through the folders and sort out the .Nef pictures into another folder and create a new folder with the date created.
I read this thread:
http://www.noodlesoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1874
So my rule is:
If...
Kind is Folder
Kind is .Nef
Do...
Move to folder NEF
Sort into Sub folder with pattern date created.
But it’s not working...
What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance...
Rheinhesse

You are combining the logic of two different things into one rule (see the image in that article with the big red X). An item cannot be both a folder and a picture at the same time so the rule doesn't make sense as it stands.

Separate out the logic to match the pictures from the logic to match folders. Again, see the article for more details.
