Moving File Rules not acting as expected Fri Jan 06, 2023 1:01 pm • by Bee Mungus
Looking for direction on how to tame my rules which are not acting as expected.

My rules are supposed to run as follows;
    •Search through folders and
    •Retrieve any .DMG file older than 4 months and
    •Move it to another directory

Currently the rule is going into every sub-folder and then its sub-folder and its not obeying the rules concerning file types, as it is moving .pkg's, zip files, all font files etc. It does not seem to be regulated by the file name of comment conditions either.

Here are my rules;

The source directory looks like this;

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and directions.
