Last edited by mrgreeneyes on Mon Jun 17, 2024 9:02 am, edited 1 time in total.

so i have this setup.

i have a folder named " ready to process"
that new movies are in there, once i renamed them and added a label, the rule is supposed to copy the folder to a folder named" ready to backup" but also copy the folder to another folder named" ready for plex"

and in the "ready for plex folder", i have a rule setto move the folder to my NAS.
how ever it appears to move, but then it stop and restarts the move over and over.

is there a way i can have the movie copied to two different locations?

Any actions after a Copy action apply to the copy, not the original. You should consider doing a move, then copies from there.

could you show me how it should look like in the rules?

is there a better way to copy the movie folder to the backup and move it to my NAS?

i get this error message

I'm guessing you don't have permissions to do the move. What happens if you try and move it in Finder?

when i manually move it it works, just not with Hazel.
