Can't seem to select a folder to test a rule Sun Mar 28, 2021 4:18 am • by quikatb
Hello,

I have rules I have created which I want to "test". When I select the "eye" to test evaluate a rule a window opens but it won't let me select either a folder or a file to evaluate. This seems to happen intermittently but I can't seem to figure out why or what is causing it. If I quit Hazel and restart it, it seems to resolve it for awhile. Anyone else having a similar problem or know what I might be doing wrong?

Running Hazel 5.0.6 MacOS 11.2.3

Which folder is this? Also, take of which folder is selected in the file dialog (it's in the pop-up at the top) and report back on whether it matches the folder you are trying to preview.

Hello,

Did a bit more testing, from a fresh restart of Hazel, I follow the following steps...

    1) Select a folder
    2) Select a rule in the folder
    3) Select preview rule
    4) Select a file to evaluate, several tests in the rule fail
    5) Select a second folder
    6) Select a rule
    7) Select preview rule, Note the folder from step 1 is selected and you can not change it to the folder in step 5

If I quit Hazel I can restart and select another folder.

I have prepared a screen recording and will send a link to it to Noodlesoft support email address.

Thanks,
