In my Downloads folder, I am trying to decompress archive files (.zip, .tar, etc) in the Downloads file but keep a copy of the archive file in a subfolder (i.e. ⬇️ Archives). If the archive file happens to be corrupted (e.g. it didn't fully download, it was a bad file to begin with, etc.) an infinite loop happens: the file gets moved to the sub-folder, a copy is made to the parent folder, Hazel tries to unarchive it, but it can't...it detects the copy and then tries to do the process again.
Is there a way to rewrite my rule so that this loop doesn't happen. (Also, why can't hazelworker create a connection to the Notifier?)
Here's a sample of my log output:
