nested conditions - how? Fri Mar 02, 2012 6:11 am • by hessi
I apologize in advance for this post, I feel like the biggest idiot ever right now, but I can't find a way to add nested conditions into my rules.

I've updated from Hazel 2, the update seemed to have worked, as well, the version says 3.0 (build 765), I can see the 'is among the', sync and scheduling conditions/actions, I can drag conditions and actions, but I just can't find a way to add a nested condition.
Right click? No.
One of the options of a condition? No (or am I blind...?).
Drag it to the right? No.

OS is 10.7.3 Server.

I'm sorry to admit how dumb I am, but can someone explain to me how that works? ;-)

Thanks...

Oh, btw, my help file (yes, I tried that first) is still from Hazel 2 (at least it has a chapter "what's new in Hazel 2"). Can that have something to do with it?

I just discovered how to do this. Press alt and click the + button (which becomes a three dots button).

Thanks. Wonder how many people will never use it because they can't find it. ;-)

Yeah, it's not the most obvious thing but it's the standard, apparently. I also added the ability to do it if you hold the plus button down. I'm open to ideas on how to make it more obvious without distracting from the + button's primary purpose.

I could not find this for the life of me… I think the obvious placement for this is on the pop-up menu along with all the other options… After all, it's another option!!! :\

That only works for those rows that have the pop-ups. You should be able to add nested conditions anywhere.

Thank you... I was just about to ask the same question but did a quick search first.

Not exactly obvious is it but happy now.
