Nothing happens when source and destination are a disk image

[bstaz77]

I want to watch a folder on a disk image, and I have rules that move files to other places on that disk image. When I set this up nothing happens, and I don't see any errors generated in the logs when the folder watch process runs but I do see some odd things on startup:

I should note that this image is not always mounted - i.e. it's not mounted at login, I manually mount it when I need it.

I've tried restarting, using different folders (in the disk image), re-creating the rules, removing folder from watch list and re-adding it, no luck.

If I the source folder is on my system volume and the destination is in the same place in the disk image then it works perfectly.

The initial errors in your logs are unrelated to your problem but it seems as if you have multiple copies of the helper app running. To remedy that, you can either log out/log in or do the following:

- Go into Activity Monitor and kill all HazelHelper processes.
- Quit System Preferences.
- Restart System Preferences and load Hazel.

This should reset the helper process.

As for the actual problem, it may have something to do with the fact that the disk image is not a fixed device. I've added it to the bug db and will look into it.

Thanks.

… it seems as if you have multiple copies of the helper app running.

I reported that problem and it's still happening as of Hazel 2.1.5.
