Maybe retitling the menu item "Run Rules for" or "Run Rules for Folder" would make its functionality explicitly clearer than just seeing folder names under the submenu?
Thanks, but this is missing the point of my original question.
I'll start over.
I have a folder that has numerous folders inside it. from time to time I want to move all the inside folders that have "Betsy" in the name of the folder to inside another folder.
So I created a rule that has: name contains "Betsy" Kind is Folder Move to folder "ALL BETSY"
this works fine as soon as I enable it.
The problem is that I don't want this to happen all the time. I only want it to happen when I'm through working on all the folders that have Betsy in the name. Sometimes days or weeks go by before I need this action.
Right now I just leave it unchecked in the Rules list and then open Hazel and check it until it runs and uncheck it. If it's unchecked it won't run by selecting the enclosing folder in the menubar run rules drop down.
What I'm asking is whether there is something I can put in the rules so that I can keep it enabled and it is available for running by clicking the Run Rules entry but won't run any other time.
Right, there is no way to do that. Another way to do something similar, though, is to use color labels. You can have the rule look for a certain color and when you are ready to process them, change them to that color in Finder. Hazel will then kick in and handle it then.
