I am trying to create a rule whereby a file is watched until it changes, like after a save. I want a copy of that file sent to my NAS and sorted into a subfolder, grouped by day. The problem is that the rule continues to make copies even when the file has not changed so they pile up. What am I doing wrong? See screenshot.

It might be better to use "Date last modified is after date last matched" which basically means, updated since last time. Give that a shot and report back if you still have problems with it.

Good to learn what Date Last Matched means. Have made the change but now the rule doesn't work at all. Not because of your helpful suggestion, but I'm still trying to find out why. I'll post when it works. Thanks.
