OK, thank you. Took a bit longer since I had to reinstall Hazel to be able to access this. I don’t think it’s linked to the rules though, since the problems already arise before I reimport the rules. Even just importing the licence works, but is somehow half forgotten (it shows up in the menu, but the trial prompt at program start always appears).

Afterwards, uninstallation was as complicated as usual, since the HazelNotifier kept coming back, although I had killed it in the Activity Monitor.

Hopefully I’ll soon be able to enjoy Hazel again! Have a great week-end

Just to give everybody the news: after many weeks of trial and error, of sending several different logs to Paul, I think I found the solution.

I installed Hazel, and then deleted it with AppCleaner. AppCleaner didn’t manage to delete some files, among them the HazelFinderSyncExtension. The Files AppCleaner didn’t manage to delete, I deleted myself. If I remember right, I had to force it a bit through emptying the bin with the Option key pressed, but I’m not sure any more.

That’s it! What a ride! All the best
