Processing subfolders Mon Nov 11, 2024 6:19 am • by RiseUp
Hey guys, couldn't find anything via the search: I have a rule that is looking for new files and then applies a script. However, it does not apply the action to new files in subfolders.

Debug: 2024-11-11 11:15:20.510 86Z3GCJ5MF.com.noodlesoft.HazelHelper[1208] DEBUG: Ignoring event in directory /Users/myname/Library/CloudStorage/Goog ... @gmail.com/My Drive/1 MY FILES/3 Scan Inbox/Caya inbox/234.pdf. Only need to check for changes 1 levels deep. Event is in directory 2 levels deep.

I tried adding the condition "subfolder depth" is greater than 0, but still the same result. Any ideas? I do not want to create a separate rule for every subfolder...

Check the manual for subfolders. There's a chapter dedicated to the topic.

Dang, the most obvious solution. Works now, thanks! Have to say though: Not the most straightforward way for the user to allow this functionality...

True, but given how dangerous it is, I am ok with making it harder to implement. Also, it is more flexible in that it gives you control over which folders you can descend into, which becomes a necessity when people have large file structures.
