Good afternoon-

Hazel noob here. I've set up a rule for Movies that automatically moves any content downloaded to my iTunes Media file (Music->iTunes->iTunes Music->Movies) to a folder on my external Hard Drive (Movies) based on Any File, last Modified less than 2 minutes ago.

I'd like to do the same for TV Shows, but have run into an issue. I have my iTunes preferences set to "Keep Files Organized." When I purchase a show on iTunes, it downloads the episode in the structure Series->Season->Episode. I'd like to keep that format on the external drive as well. For instance, Mad Men ->Season 3->Episode. However, I'm not sure how to set up the rule in Hazel.

I've tried setting it up for off all of following conditions are met for Any of its sub-files or folders and Date Last Modified is not in the last minute ->Move to Folder -> TV Shows (on External drive) with the options to delete if the file is a duplicate and replace it if it already exists.

What happens is that duplicate folders are created (e.g. Mad Men - 1, Mad Men - 2, etc.). I've looked around for tips and tricks but can't seem to find any.

Is there a standard rule that someone can recommend to help accomplish what I'm trying to achieve? Again, appreciate the help - not that well versed in Apple Script, etc. and appreciate any guidance or direction.

Thanks!

Do not use the any subfiles target. See the sticky article above on going into subfolders.

If you want to maintain the folder structure at the source, you should use the "source folder" attribute (search for it in the help).

An alternative is to use the sync action and have that match the top level folder. Search the forums on how to do this.
