I've given up on AppleScript folder actions, Automator folder actions.

I'm ready for Hazel.

But I'm getting something wonky straight out of the gate. Simple folder triggered with one rule = name not blank. Actions:

1. run embedded applescript to check that network drives are attached -- works dreamily
2. copy file to network share -- works like a charm
3. move file to local folder -- copies it, BUT LEAVES THE ORIGINAL BEHIND!!!

Why would Hazel fail to delete the original file? This is seemingly trivial. Help? Workaround short of shell rm (which will make me nervous when multiple items start hitting this folder...)

Thanks,

TC

Are you aware that after the copy action, all actions operate on the copy, not the original? You need to tweak the operations to compensate for this.
