Folders Moved Rules Unhappy Wed Feb 23, 2022 11:14 pm • by mmandell
I moved from one sync service to another.

This meant that the folders for everything changed and all Hazel rules are unhappy or broken if they required a folder move.
If I recall, there was an update or some way for Hazel to find and update automatically to the new folder location instead of mapping each folder manually.

Now that I've made the change, I can't find that function.... can you help.

Thanks in advance!

In the pop-up for a folder destination, there is the "Relocate folder" function that allows you to remap the folder. If you remap a parent folder, there's an option to apply it to any other folders underneath it as well.

There is no way to do this en mass though, it's one rule at a time, correct?

Relocate works globally, but you have to do it per folder or, as mentioned, a parent folder, which can propagate it to any folders underneath it.
