Sort into subfolder

I would like to re-organize my download folder. Currently, after processing all the rules, if file doesn't get matched, it is being sorted into

Code: Select all: $HOME/Downloads/YYYY.MM.DD

folder. I got three years worth of folders here, and it's long scroll. I'd like to modify my rule to sort files into

Code: Select all: $HOME/Downloads/YYYY/YYYY.MM/YYYY.MM.DD

folder. What's the easiest way of implementing this in Hazel, without going to write script (because why?)

Note, that on, let's say, January 1st, 2023 folders $HOME/Downloads/2023 and $HOME/Downloads/2023/2023.01 does not exists, so I can't use Move and then sort; there is no Create directory and I'm pretty sure I don't want to have three step sorting (i.e first sort into subfolder 2023, then into 2023/2023.01 and then finally into 2023/2023.01/2023.01.01).

If I will create folder using script below, how do I move file into this folder then?

Code: Select all: mkdir -p "$HOME/Downloads/$(date +%Y)/$(date +%Y.%m)"

This suggests, that instead of this, I can probably modify script to

Code: Select all: p="$HOME/Downloads/$(date +%Y)/$(date +%Y.%m)/$(date +%Y.%m.%d)" mkdir -p "${p}" mv "$1" "${p}"

But I hope, there is a native Hazel way, which I can't seem to see... Help me..

You can use Sort into subfolder. It will create them as needed. When you drag in a date attribute, you can format it to show what you want with whatever time components are available. And you can do multiple levels of folders by using the folder separator (the triangle pointing right).

Ah, that would do the trick. thanks!
