since the update (I'm running Version 3.1.1, Build 996), Hazel doesn't seem to be applying some of the rules anymore. It still checks the folder, but doesn't apply the rules until I force Hazel to run it. This is quite strange. The log file doesn't show any odd activity: When the rule is not forced, it justs processes the folder and skips to the next, without running a rule, when I force it, it runs the rule. This is really strange. The folder is not a subfolder, but the very folder I asked Hazel to watch.
The specific rule doesn't matter, since various (syncing or running a shell script when a specific keyword is found or applying a tag when a certain file extension matches) should apply (and do, according to the preview).
Please note: The file the rule should apply (and does, according to the preview) to is "test .txt", not "xPHILx Filename". But the log shows that Hazel doesn't seem to look at it as long as I'm not forcing it?
So I did what was asked in the troubleshooting thread
Preview mode: It shows the file the rule should apply and the "rule matched" shows the actual rule.
Double-checking rules: The rules work very well, there is no problem when the rule is forced.
Checking the logs:
