Firefox and Chrome preference reading attempt

[vco1]

When starting the debug mode in Hazel and going through the log file, I came across the following:

Code: Select all

2021-05-23 13:12:02.711 hazelworker[61607] DEBUG: Program is licensed.

2021-05-23 13:12:02.728 hazelworker[61607] DEBUG: Could not find entry for default_directory in Chrome preference file.

Why is Hazel attempting to read browser preference files? I don't have any rules set for these directories.

[Mr_Noodle]

Hazel does that to see which folders those browsers use to download to. This helps determine certain things, like what kind of scheme they use for specifying incomplete downloads.

Thanks for the explanation.

The preferences are in another location though. At least on my Mac.

Is there some special configuration you are using? Can you tell me what that location is?
