Hi,

when creating my document naming rules, I discovered that the "contain match" rule will not find words that contain umlaut characters in pdf documents (I verified this by searching for the words in Preview; they were found there).
This also affects date search patterns with month names; the rules will fail for month names that contain umlauts.

Cheers,
Stefan

Can you give me specific examples? Or email support with a sample file and rule?

I have sent a detailed description and files to reproduce the issue to Support.

Regards,

Steve

Thanks. I can replicate the problem here and am looking into it.

Hi,

I have the same problem here. I tried for two hours to get some rules working and couldn't explain the behavior as it sometimes worked and sometimes not.

Thank you for the hint with Umlaut characters.

One of my rules has a "contain match" for "München, MM/DD/YYYY(<--DatePattern)".
It didn't work.
As I deleted the first two characters "Mü" and just searched for "nchen, MM/DD/YYYY" -
the rule worked!

So you can fix it by just deleting some parts of your words - but this does not work for date patterns. :/

I hope, it will be fixed in Hazel 3.1.3?

Kind regards!

It should be. If you want to run a test build, email support.
