Need Help Processing a Folder Sun Aug 26, 2012 12:12 pm • by TylerGred
I've created a scenario where I scan a file and it OCR's and places the OCR'd document into a folder called "Import". Once the documents are placed into the folder, I want hazel to sort the documents into a subfolder named "$DateAdded$ - Imported Files"

I have a folder already created called "DevonThink Pro Import" and run a folder action to import into DevonThink.

Here are three rules for Import.

Here is where I'm having my problems...

How do I get Hazel to process the new folder and move it to DevonThink Pro Import? I'm running into issues where hazel continues to apply my "Group Files" rule...

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated...

Thanks.

Did you check the preview? My guess is that you have the rules in the wrong order. Play with the preview so you can get a feel for it and move the rules around.

Also, in your first rule, you don't need to nest that condition.
