Please help me :(
I've been searching this rule/action set in all the forum but did not find an answer.
I think that my need should be easy to manage but I cannot accomplish it with Hazel.

I "just" need to tag a specific kind of file (eg. ".txt") in all the subfolders within a giant one ("Media") so that I can easily find all (and only) the files with that extension inside that giant folder:

MEDIA FOLDER >
> Folder 1 > A.txt, B.txt, C.txt
> Folder 2 > D.txt, E.txt
> Folder 3 > F.txt, G.txt, E.txt
and so on...

Thinking about it, it doesn't seem to me so difficult to do ("hey dude, color up all the files with that extension") but I don't find the correct way to set the right rules within Hazel.

Can you please help me?
Thank you guys

Search the manual for "subfolders". There's a chapter dedicated to the topic of having Hazel go into subfolders.
