Hazel 5 cannot (re)locate folder Thu Nov 19, 2020 6:44 am • by Bernardo
I've moved a folder location and now Hazel cannot find it. The problem is, I don't find the option to relocate (find) this folder within Hazel.

Is this folder a source or destination?

You have to do that manually. Add the new folder, move the rules from the old one to new one. Remove the old folder.

Hi, it would save a lot of time and make the application much smarter if you could more easily relocate a source folder, without having to create a new, copy rules, etc.

There is a relocate folder feature but it on'y does it for destination folders. For source folders, most of the time Hazel should be able to track it across changes and if you delete the folder, Hazel should prompt you to select a new one. It's only the odd case where you would need to do the above steps.
