Matching bug Fri Nov 10, 2017 9:58 pm • by Drifter
Hihi,

I'm currently using this rule,

If all of the following conditions are met for any of its subfiles or subfolders
Date added is not in the last 3 weeks
Date last modified is not in the last 3 weeks

to archive untouched projects into an old folder.
And in that old folder, if I started working on any projects, it would move the folder back up out using the following rule,

If any of the following conditions are met for any of its subfiles or subfolders
Date last modified is in the last 1 day

But it seems that some folders I have kept jumping back and forth in and out of the folders when I'm not even doing anything... Aka, they run true for both rules... How does that happen?

See the troubleshooting guide here: https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/hazel-tro ... ing-guide/

Stop the rules and use the diagnostics listed in that article to see how it's matching.

Check the preview and rule status ui. You can see how the rules are matching the various attributes there.
