Rename Subfolders

[Paul1762]

I wonder if anyone can help me correct an error after rename folders and subfolders:

I am using Hazel to sort Images into Folders and Subfolders:

I wanted to get a Folder Structure where my top level Folder is Raw, then the next Level would be Year, then the next Level would be Year/Month.

So I wanted the below:
Raw:
2021
2021.01
2021.02
2021.03
2021.04
2022
2022.01
2022.02
2022.03
2022.04
However, what I have ended up with is:
Raw:
2021
Raw.01
Raw.02
Raw.03
Raw.04
2022
Raw.01
Raw.02
Raw.03
Raw.04

Can anyone suggest a way of correcting this error?

Can you post the rule you created to do this?

[Paul1762]

as requested please see the rule below
First Rule:
Go into Subfolder
if Kind is Folder
Do the following
Run Rules on Folder Contents
Second Rule
RenameFiles
If Any File
Do the following
Sort into subfolder with pattern Date Created yyyy
Sort into subfolder with pattern Source folder.Date Created mm

[Mr_Noodle]

I think the problem is that you included "Source Folder" in the pattern. Not sure why that's there but I suggest taking it out.

[Paul1762]

I only included that as I wanted the subfolder to have the YYYY.mm as the telltale of the folder...

thanks for the tip... I will amend the rule...

do you have any tips that would allow me to rename the folders from Raw.xx to YYYY.xx

Regards, Paul

[Mr_Noodle]

Where is the YYYY coming from?

[Paul1762]

I use the Created Date and format it to YYYY

[Mr_Noodle]

So you can set up a rule to match folders matching the pattern Raw.(• suffix) and then rename with the created year and suffix.

[Paul1762]

That did not work... I wanted to rename the folders under 2016 to 2016.01, 2016.02 etc the Folder got renamed 2023.08.02, 2023.08.03 etc...

You need to edit the format for the date attribute in your pattern to include the parts of the date/time you want to include.
