Quick Folders not working Sun Jul 02, 2023 2:50 am • by zengusan
Just installed Hazel on my Mac running the latest OS. When I try to add a new folder and click on the options under Quick Folders, nothing happens.

Which folder are you trying to access? Can you try giving Hazel full disk access via System Settings/Preferences?

I just gave full disk access to Hazel but nothing's changed. When I click on Quick Folders, I will see a list of options like Safari Download Folder, Firefox Download Folder, Transmission, Saved Searches, etc. But no matter which one I chose, nothing happens.

Sorry, I don't understand your question. I am trying to add a new folder to monitor.

But when you open the file dialog, it's set to a folder. Basically, it's the folder that will get chosen if you click the "Open" button.

It is set to the folder that is currently being selected in the left Folders sidebar.

I have Downloads and Competed (folder for Transmission) on the sidebar. They both behave the same.

If Downloads is the currently showing folder, then that is the folder used by many browsers. Selecting the quick folder for those will not do anything visibly because the folder is already selected.

Can you post a video of this?

EDIT: Nevermind, I can replicate this with saved searches. Will look into it.
