Can't seem to find a way to set up complex rules requiring both ANY and ALL behaviors.
Example: If a file appears in the "Downloads" folder that is either .dmg OR .pkg/.mpkg, AND the filename does not contain the text string xxxxx, then move the file to the "Installers" folder.

Creative ideas, or will this become a feature request?

Thanks.

You're missing just one piece - holding alt to nest conditions. When you hold OPT/ALT the [+] (add condition) turns into a (...) so that you can nest conditions.

Remember, you can drag rules around.

For you, it'll look like this:

Code: Select all

if (all) of the following conditions are met for (the file or folder being processed):
     if (any) of the following conditions are met for (the file or folder being processed):
          extension is dmg
          extension is pkg
          extension is mpkg
     name does not contain (xxxxxx)

Do the following to the matched file or folder:
     move to folder "installers"


A handy secret! Nice. Thanks for the help.

Doesn't work. Let me guess: I have to upgrade from 2.x to 3.x. *sigh*

Well worth it, my friend. I no longer have 2.x, so I do not recall what would be the best way for you to accomplish this task.

Took the dive, works as you said. Well, it looks nicer anyway. Haven't read the change log yet. Not a power user, so this was probably the only time I'll need v3.x. Then again, Hazel has a knack for finding reasons to use it. Thx again.
