First, thanks for this great software - and thanks for baring with me since I'm new to all this and probably a bit slow
I'm trying to put together a set of rules that would sort today's downloads from a same domain into a dedicated folder named accordingly.
The folder watched is obviously 'downloads', and I would like it to behave like this:
- - I'm downloading "file_1" from "example" domain
- Hazel moves "file_1" into a newly created folder named "example (today's date)"
- If I'm downloading "file_2" from the same "example" domain on the same day, Hazel will move "file_2" into the previously created "example (today's date)" folder along with its peer
- If it's another day, or another domain, a new folder is created appropriately
- If two files are identical, the second one gets renamed
My set of rules goes like this:
- If [Any File], [Date Added] [Is] [Today]
[Sort into subfolder] with pattern: [{domain} {(date added)}], option 'rename the file'
What's happening:
- a) After "file_1" is downloaded, Hazel creates an "example (today's date)" folder, moves "file_1" inside of it.
So far so good. But then it moves the "example (today's date)" folder into a newly created folder named " (today's date)"
- b) If I then download "file_2", Hazel will put it in a new folder named "example (today's date)-1" (due to option 'rename the file' that I thought would target the file and not the folder) and put this folder into the previously created " (today's date)" folder
I tried to put an [Ignore] rule last, just in case it ends what seems to be a kind of loop in a), but no luck.
Thank you very much for your time and help!
Regards,
Alexis
