Hazel Rules Not working Wed Jul 25, 2012 7:42 pm • by Widgetcat3
This morning my Hazel rules were running. Yesterday, my Hazel rules were running. This afternoon, not so much. All of my rules are very basic such as I scan a document to a specific folder, Hazel looks at them and renames and moves. Nothing more complicated than that. I'm fairly new to Hazel, love it when it works. What am I doing wrong, please?

Thank you!

Oh, and I'm running 3.0.10, have not yet installed Mountain Lion. That's next on my list.

Mr. Noodle, I did read that before I posted. None of it really applies, I don't think. Please remember, I'm pretty new to Hazal and writing rules. This is what my Hazel.Log reads when I run the rules:

But not all the rules work. They WERE working. I can't think of anything that I changed, but I must have. Some do. Some don't. Urg.

I also have the problem that some rules don't work after upgrading to mountain lion. There rule itself was not changed. I can see that it would trigger in the preview, but it's not executing.
It worked flawlessly in lion.. Any hints for me?

Can't say without the logs and possibly a copy of the rules. For this type of thing, I recommend you email support with your rules and the logs as I can't say anything useful without those.

Understand, yes.
It works again though.. all I did was restart the machine (I usually don't do that much). Weird, but hopefully solved this way.
