Hazel no longer works with Downloads folder Wed Mar 05, 2025 8:58 pm • by ckpiv
Upgraded to MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1 last week and now none of my rules work with the Download folder. Have been using Hazel for years and have never had an issue. Currently using Hazel 6.0.4.

I created a temp folder and moved some rules here and everything works but when i move them back to use downloads folder nothing happens. The rule preview says all is good but nothing happens, the rule will not even rename the files.

In the log file I found this:

2025-03-02 08:39:33.569 86Z3GCJ4MF.com.noodlesoft.HazelHelper[702] Error retrieving filesystem mount point for /Volumes/Data/Downloads/PDF Files: No such file or directory

While I could use a temp folder would like to get the Downloads folder working again.

Thanks

Can you check the logs in more depth. Look for a file that should be processed but isn't and post that.

I am attaching some more of the log. It appears Hazel thinks my Downloads folder is on /Volumns/Data/Downloads but it is under my user account? At one time I did have a external drive that I would move files to that I think was /Data/Downloads.

The recent log I had a pdf file in downloads but was not renamed or moved with Hazel rule. As soon as I moved to a temp folder with identical rule it processed.

Thank you in advance

Re: Hazel no longer works with Downloads folder Thu Mar 06, 2025 2:38 pm • by ckpiv
May have found the issue. Had several old rules that referenced old external drive location that I know longer used. Deleted these old rules and reviewed all other rules, moved all rules back from the temp folder to the download folder and did a couple test. The log file is not showing previous errors and showing matched rules. Will continue testing to see if issues persist.
