I searched the forums and could not find an answer to the following question:

Is it possible to "mirror" a folder with its subfolders and files to a destination?

I found an entry http://www2.noodlesoft.com/forums/viewt ... 1312#p5112 which gives me the impression it should be possible with version 3 (I'm running 3.0.2).

I'm not new to Hazel, but I can't figure out how to set up the rule(s). I tried several things (copy & sync), but I'm either ending up with all the files in the root of the destination folder or with duplicates.

Any help is appreciated, but I'm also fine if this functionality is not in the scope of Hazel.

Syncing provides an exact mirror at the other end.

Alternatively, you can use a combination of copy/sort into subfolder. Search the help for "source folder" which is the key thing to do pull this off.

Post back if you are still having problems with it.

Hi,

I am actually using sync folder method however I have issue when I RENAME files.
Indeed, each time I rename a file the renamed file is synced
-> I have twice the same file in the synced folder (one with old name, one with the new name).

Is there a way to manage those renaming issues so that each time I rename a file, the synced folder keeps only the renamed file?

Are you syncing the file itself or the folder that contains it. If the former, then it won't work. The absence of a file is something that is a function of the containing folder so you need to have the sync action run on the enclosing folder for a proper sync.
