Hi, I've been using the basics of Hazel with amazing results (I don't know how to write code so it's so helpful!). I've stumbled into something that I can't figure out why what seems to be a simple rule doesn't work and wondering if anybody can help.
I have a folder (FOLDER A) with about 1000 videos + text files in it that has files added & subtracted from it at various times during the day, every day. What I want to do:
At 12:30am every day move all the videos to a different folder.
(NOTE: this other separate folder has a Hazel rule with Shell Script that processes them and updates their filenames from a database then sends them back to FOLDER A within a minute or two so I also want to avoid it looping the files endlessly)
To me, it would make sense to create the rule something like this:
_________________
If ALL of the following conditions are met:
KIND is MOVIE
CURRENT TIME is 12:05am ANY DAY
Do the following:
MOVE to folder: PROCESS
_______________
BUT 'RULE PREVIEW' (and testing for real) shows that the 'CURRENT TIME' file attribute does not match.

So I tried:
_________________
If ALL of the following conditions are met
KIND is MOVIE
CURRENT TIME is AFTER 12:04am ANY DAY
CURRENT TIME is BEFORE 12:06am ANY DAY
Do the following:
MOVE to folder: PROCESS
_______________
No luck either. So after tinkering I realized the only thing that would work with 'CURRENT TIME' is if I selected 'NONE' in the statement:
'If NONE of the following conditions are met'
So I'm just not sure how to set this up. I couldn't find 'CURRENT TIME' in the Rule Reference Manual with the other File attributes and there's not much written about how it works anywhere else (that I could find). Any ideas would be very appreciated.
