Hi,

want want to setup the following two rules:

if file ABC exist
1) copy ABC to other drive (NAS)
2) move the (original) ABC to the local backup dir on the computer.

but Hazel moves always the copied ABC file from NAS to the backup dir on my local computer.
And the original ABC file is still in the source dir.

Any hints how can I solve it?

Thanks.

If you do a copy, then subsequent operations apply to the copy. There are two ways to get what you want:

- Do a move first, then a copy.
- Do two rules. One fo copy, and another to move. The first rule needs to use the "Continue" action to allow the second rule to get a chance to be evaluated.

Is not the best solution, because I need to copy the file over over the network twice.

That works! Thank you!
