Example Folder:
"filetype.filename.date.time"
File within the folder:
"filename.date.time.jpg"
My renaming would therefore add the filetype to the name of the file "filetype.filename.date.time.jpg"
The renaming above worked, I was happy
The folders/files I am downloading have now changed and now include the URL of the site I am downloading them from.
Example Folder:
"www.websitename.com - filetype.filename.date.time"
File within the folder:
"filename.date.time.jpg"
I thought it would be a simple case of adding a renaming action to the rule that moves the folder to the staging area and within that action to use the conditions to replace "www.websitename.com - " with "" and the folder would be renamed with the remaining "filetype.filename.date.time". But it doesn't seem to be working that way, in fact it's working in a way which makes me think there's a bug somewhere and what it ends up doing is renaming the folder "www.websitename"
Also, when trying to match "www.websitename.com" using the condition "contains"/"starts with" etc it doesn't match (at least it doesn't when testing the rules, although sometime does when the rules are run)
Am I right in thinking Hazel is failing because of all the .'s in the file name? Is there a way to remove all the .'s and replace with spaces to get things on track? Or is that just putting a sticking plaster on the problem?
I hope that all makes sense
.. Any help would be appreciated!
