Hazel fails to create archive Tue Oct 25, 2022 5:06 am • by jmfontana
My apologies if I'm doing something stupid which should be obvious to me. The rules I created to archive and delete certain files if some conditions are met (see attached image) fail with the message "Failed to create archive for ...". How do I find out why Hazel is failing to zip these files? Is this something that has to do with the way I have configured the rule? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Check the logs. There should be more info on the error there.

OK, I had my 'duh' moment. There was a file with the same name already zipped. Thanks.
