Feature Request: Dynamic Master Folder Selection for Rules

Get help. Get answers. Let others lend you a hand.

Dear Hazel Developers,

I frequently change the location of my master folders while testing various backup storage applications. I also have multiple computers in which I use Hazel. As a result, I often have to manually update numerous rules within Hazel to reflect the new folder location, which is both tedious and time-consuming.

I’d like to propose an enhancement that allows users to designate a "Master Folder" so that all associated rules automatically update when the folder’s location changes. This would eliminate the need to manually adjust each rule individually, streamlining the process and significantly improving efficiency for users who frequently reorganize their file structures.

Thank you for considering this request. This feature would greatly enhance workflow flexibility and reduce the repetitive task of updating rule locations. I appreciate your time and look forward to your thoughts on this possibility.

Best regards.
