I'm a noob, so please bare with me. I have been trying unsuccessfully for a week to achieve my goal of moving sub-folders with music containing .FLAC music (metadata not recognized by Spotlight) out of their enclosing folder and into another one. For example, the main folder is called "Music", the sub-folder is called "Project" the next depth down has an album called "Mr. Fantasy" that has .flac files in it. How I can have Hazel move the .flac files by asking it to look for that extension, but it doesn't seem to move the enclosing folder nor will it take the cover artwork (.png, .jpeg, etc.). How can I specify a rule that if a folder or its contents has .flac as an extension, it move the entire folder and all of its contents to a different folder?

I've already replied in email (again, please just email/post in one place or the other, otherwise, I have to type up the answers twice).

A rule like the following should work:

Code: Select all

If (all) are met for (any sub-files...)
    Extension is flac
Move to <wherever>


That will move any folders with flac files underneath it.

Indeed. Redundant posts can often be undesirable for readers and repliers.

Apologies for the multiple instances, I won't do it again.
