Appears there are 2 different kinds of .pkg files

Hi,
I have a rule that I use to move some downloaded files out of my downloads folder. One of the conditions I use is intended to identify package files using "Kind is Installer Package" option. I rarely scrutinize my downloads folder but recently I noticed that I had a bunch of .pkg files in the downloads folder. It appears that these .pkg files are not "Installer Packages" they are "Installer Flat Packages".

Not at all sure if this has always been true or changed at some time in the past & I never realized it. So I'd like to please request the addition of the "Installer Flat Package" to the list of file Kinds or simply have this file kind included as an "Installer Package".

Obviously I can simply use the file extension so if this doesn't make sense I'll do just fine!
(I have screenshots if you want them, not sure how to add them)
Cheers!

Those "Kinds" are determined by the app that handles those types of files, not Hazel. If they set it up properly, it should appear in the list of kinds if you select "Other".

Apologies!
I missed the Other option entirely, :oops: and indeed what I was looking for was in that list.

Thanks!
