Hi all,

I'm new to Hazel, so forgive me if this is a dumb question

I'm creating a rule that renames a file stored on my local drive then moves it to a network drive. All seems to be OK until the move part. The rule fails and the log says this:

Code: Select all

2012-08-11 07:44:38.029 hazelworker[15984] eStmt_01_31_2006.pdf: Rule Bank of America Statements (WaldoWare) matched.

I have tried manually performing the move in the Finder and there is no problem. Any idea what's going on? Thanks!

Something is keeping the file open at the source. You need to close the file in whatever program has it open before Hazel will move it.
