Struggle with Subfolders Thu Dec 19, 2019 12:26 am • by dominicn
Hello,
I have a rule that uses an Automator workflow to convert BMP files to TIFF. The rule is as follows:
If:
Extension is BMP

Do:
Run automator workflow - BMP Conversion

It works great but I would like it to be able to look into subfolders but I can't get it to work.

For example, I have my main folder called Media. In that folder, I have a subfolder called 2019. Inside of that subfolder I have another folder for each batch of images from the scanner. The scanner automatically add this folder for each batch. I would like Hazel to watch the 2019 folder for the folder that the scanner adds and then convert the images using the automator workflow.

I tried adding this rule:

If kind is folder

run rules on folder contents but it did not work.

Any suggestions?

Try going through the troubleshooting guide here: https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/hazel-tro ... ing-guide/

Make sure the subfolder rule is matching the appropriate folders.
