Hazel 5.0.2: Can't Save Sat Dec 05, 2020 5:59 pm • by sSslik
I recently updated to Hazel 5.0.2. I now cannot save any new rule I create. I can edit and save current rules, but the save button does not respond when I click to save a new rule.

Running Big Sur. Was working fine until the upgrade.

Anyone else having the same problem?

Hazel 5.1.1: Can't Save Wed Dec 01, 2021 12:26 pm • by Rocadero
I just purchased Hazel 5.1.1 and I am trying to follow the tutorials, however when I try to Edit a Rule by changing a Condition or Action (as per the instructions), the Save and Revert buttons are grayed out. When I close and reopen the rule, it reverts back to the previous state. However, I have discovered that if I change the title of the Rule, the Save and Revert buttons do appear, yet NOT when I change the Conditions or Actions. This does not seem intuitive and leads me to think that there's something I am doing wrong or some Preference setting I need to activate. Any guidance is appreciated.

Can you replicate this? Does it happen with particular rules or all of them? Can you give me steps from a cold launch of Hazel?

Your mention of a "cold launch" prompted me to reconsider what I was doing to "relaunch" it. I didn't realize that Hazel could be stopped from the menu bar. So, I selected Stop Hazel and then started it again. This seems to have COMPLETELY fixed the issue. NICE! Now any changes I make, the Save button appears! Yay!
Thanks very much for the help and for a great piece of software!

That's odd. I feel like that might be more of a coincidence. Keep an eye on it and reply back if it happens again.
