Hi Hazel team and community,

[I read through the docs and still couldn't find the solution I was looking for]

What I'm trying to do:
------------------------------
- I'm trying to create a rule that monitors a folder and a specific file (or any file) that is modified (in the parent or subfolders) needs to be backed up to a different folder after N mins of delay.

What I tried:
------------------------------
Created the below rule

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fz6qjquvqq9xf ... 7.jpg?dl=0

This doesn't seem to work. And I had to create two rules, based on what was specified here: https://www.noodlesoft.com/manual/hazel ... ubfolders/

Help Needed for:
------------------------------
- Any way I can make sure that only the modified file is copied. In my other rules, sometimes the parent folder (monitored folder) is copied which I don't want.
- Any way I can make this rule work and consolidate both these rules into one rule

First off, they are never supposed to be one rule. One rule matches the things.database file. The other is supposed to match folders (BTW, you should change that to "Kind is Folder", not "any file").

As for why it isn't working as expected, you will need to go through the troubleshooting guide here: https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/hazel-tro ... ing-guide/
