Reference for beginner? Sat Jun 13, 2026 8:01 pm • by jtclat177
HI all-
BRAND NEW beginner to Hazel. I'm using Photosync app to backup iphone images to my new UGREEN NAS (DXP4800plus) for both my wife and me, then trying to rename the images, move and combine them into a joint Archive folder, including a "J" or "S" suffix in the image name to identify if a particular image came from me or my wife's phone. I'm struggling to use Hazel successfully to rename the images/vids and then move them, what seems like a simple process.

Other than a cumbersome (though comprehensive) Hazel User Guide, where is everyone learning how to use hazel?? (Basic logic used when dealing with folders/subfolders/moving while keeping a folder structure, why nothing happens when I run a rule, etc., etc.) I'm not finding any posted Youtube content even close to the the 6.2.1 version I purchased...

Even if the videos you find are a little out of date, I don't think for the things you need, much has changed on that front.

That said, what specifically are you running into problems with? Can you post the rules you have so far?
