Looking at the console after turning on debug, I see that Hazel cannot find Chrome or Firefox preference file. Should I be concerned? Why does Hazel need to know what is my Chrome or Firefox preferences?

Code: Select all

Hazel checks those to find out which folder those browsers use for downloads. If it is a download folder, then that allows Hazel to treat certain things differently, like duplicate files and incomplete downloads. I would ignore the errors unless you use those browsers to download stuff.

Thanks for the explaination. Will ignore these errors at this moment.
