Hello,

I need a rule that allows me to automatically move items in a folder, but only when they have been in there for a certain amount of time. Does anyone have an idea how I can implement this?

Try a condition like "Date added is not in the last 1 minute".

This works, I haven´t seen this Rule.

Thank you very much :)

I am trying to do something similar, but it isn't working as planned. Any idea what is wrong with my rule?

I want to move files from the Downloads folder to be sorted into other folders by various rules, but only after the files have been in Downloads for 15 minutes and only if the download is complete. To that end, I set up the following rule to run before my other rules that do the sorting:

Code: Select all
If any of the following conditions are met:
Date last modified is in the last 5 minutes
Date added is in the last 15 minutes

Do the following to the matched file or folder:
Ignore


The intent of the date last modified condition is to avoid items that are still downloading.

I resolved the issue, unfortunately I'm not sure what specifically resolved it. If I determine the resolution I will share here for others to reference.
