so I have hazel copy movie posters from my plex movies library into a folder on my desktop called Movie Posters.
and I want them into subfolders with each subfolder named after the movie.

I can't figure out how to get hazel to do it.

I watched numerous YouTube videos and I tried following along and changing the filenames and steps to reflect my own file names and folder names. but I cant get it to work.

can someone assist me?

please and thanks

im not entirely sure how to give a specific example.

I just don't know what to do for sort into subfolder with pattern, how to get it to to name the folder rafter the filename without the file extension.

Explain in text how you want a specific file to go through your proposed workflow. What name does it have before, what folder do you move it to and what do you rename anything to?
