HI,

An impatient newb with a few days left on his trial needs support before taking the plunge...

I download a rar file and I've set Hazel to extract it and delete the original file. If it's MP3s it gets added to iTunes and those mp3 are deleted too. Great! I buy FLACs from Boomkat for all my favourite choons so I set up a rule to extract the zip and open any files with extension FLAC in XLD. XLD converts to ALAC and automatically adds to iTunes so 1 less step needed with Hazel.

Except it doesn't send them to XLD. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Very similar to my working rules so not sure what's wrong.

Please do not post questions to the Tips forum. There's a prominent sticky at the top of that forum telling you not to do this.

Hazel's Unarchive actions automatically unpacks and throws away the original. The resulting file/folder is then what is operated on in subsequent actions. Take a look again at your workflow with this in mind as you may be sending the unpacked file to the trash.
