I’m running into a situation where Hazel keeps moving my files to the Downloads folder even though I’ve configured the rule to move them only if it’s 11 PM or if they’re tagged green. My initial suspicion was that this is a bug, because the automation triggers at times outside of 11 PM without me doing anything special.

Hazel 5.3.6
Rule Logic:

Here’s the rule text as it appears in the image, closely mirroring Hazel’s condition/logic structure:

If all of the following conditions are met:
1. If any of the following conditions are met:
• Current Time is 11:00 PM
• Color Label is (green color selected)
2. Kind is not Folder
3. Kind is not Alias

Then Move to folder: Downloads

I've did a restart before posting this thread.

After putting Hazel on hold for awhile I turned it back on and it's still doing the same thing. Ive now changed the 11:00 trigger to be Date last opened "Not this month" to see it that is going to work.

You have your conditions set to "any" which means as long as the file is green, it won't matter what time it is. You probably want "all" there.

That does work better than all files being moved (with or without the green tag) - the all does stop that. So Ill adopt that, however the any was the prescribed condition. I'll live with it. Thank you
