Hello from Germany.
to make a long story short: I am on my way leaving Dropbox and have experienced very good performance with Resilio Sync. Resilio features some automatic backup (and versioning) functions which can be adjusted to the given tasks. These backups are kept in a hidden folder (named .sync) inside the folder, Resilio is syncing.
I run CCC backup tasks every night on my 24/7 server and some .sync folders are part of it. My idea was to buy Hazel (what I did) to take care about these nightly backups. Hazel should rename the folders containing the backups and move them to another place. This would make it easy for everyone later on to find important stuff without poking around in hundreds of deeply nested (and invisible) folders.
My problem is that Hazel is refusing to "recognize" the .sync folder at all – even after performing the hidden defaults change in Terminal (defaults write com.noodlesoft.Hazel ScanInvisibles -bool YES). It does SCAN the contents of the hidden .sync folders – but it does not allow to SELECT this folder, in order to do something with it. It therefore cannot be renamed, it cannot be moved, it cannot be tagged. Nothing.
My questions are:
Have I done anything wrong by trying to select this .sync folder?
Is there another way to select these folders and perform some tasks on them with Hazel?
Many thanks for your help. (Along a screenshot which might proof, that I am a noob and did something fundamentally wrong by setting up the rule. Feedback appreciated.)
