Hi I try to get all folders/subfolders as tags for a file. E.g. file „tax2020“ is in the subfolder „Tax 2020“ which is in the folder „Tax“, which is in the folder „Scanned documents“. I want hazel to automatically create the tags „Tax 2020“, „Tax“, „Scanned documents“ and to attach these tags to the file „tax2020“. I tried this solution: https://www.scrubbs.me/2014/05/20/tagging-all-the.html, which unfortunately did not work for me. I must admit, that I clearly did not understand the solution very well, so probably this was the problem.
I would really appreciate if someone could explain to me how to get in the subfolder structure and "tag" the folder structure one the way.
Thank you very much!

Finally it worked. I still do not understand the rules in every detail, but it works for me now. Initially I struggled with the nested rules (the idea behind it) and made mistakes there, because I had to adapt them to my structure.
Thanks for reading!
