I have rules setup that moves files to a specific folder on my server (all on my internal network), which was working great for a while now. However, after the latest update, those files can no longer be moved, and now show an error notification saying they couldn't be moved. I can manually upload the files using a different app though, so I don't believe it's a file permission issue. Is there a way to downgrade to a previous version of Hazel to get things working again?

Can you check the logs? First enable debug logging as described here: https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/hazel-debug-mode/

Make sure to check Connection logging there.

After a failed upload, check the logs by going to Help->View Logs. Search for the last error pertaining to that file and post it.

Here's what the log shows for a test file

It seems like it doesn't have permission to write after the update? The only thing that is different was updating to the latest version of Hazel. I also checked the folder and it should have the correct permissions set.

I'm using Unraid on my server, and I tried making a new user, and then logging in as that user when connecting to Unraid from my Mac. But I still get the errors when trying to move the files. Is there a way to downgrade to the previous version of Hazel so I can get things working again?

Have you given Hazel full disk access?

Yes. Hazel has full disc access. It was just the most recent release where this started happening. Can I downgrade somehow to debug that it is indeed the newest version causing the issues?

You can download older versions here: http://www.noodlesoft.com/old-versions/

Note that your problem will not be solved if you do that, though. Even if it works with the old version, without addressing the problem, you will be stuck on that version .

Going back to 5.2.2 works again.

I understand you needing things to work but until I can get more data on the issue, this won't be resolved going forward with future versions. If you can replicate this on another non-critical machine, that would be of some use.

I’ve only got the one Mac and one server.

This is a problem in Version 6 as well

In the log, the error message is:

7 minutes ago : The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted

Also, downgrading to version 5.2.2 the rules are all broken since they came from a newer version. Upgrading has not been great.

Can you post a larger excerpt from the logs? Make sure to enable connection logging.
