Stripping subfolders Sat Feb 01, 2014 10:22 am • by runawayjim
Hello,

I have Hazel monitoring my sendtodropbox folder, which creates a new folder each day. Hazel moves anything in that folder another folder that serves as my inbox from multiple programs. I am forced to do this because sendtodropbox won't allow me to choose a destination path.

The problem: Hazel moves the folders, so in my inbox I have a folder named January 31 2014, another named February 1 2014, etc.

Ideal solution: I'd like Hazel to strip these folders and just drop the contents of the folders into the inbox.

Check the sticky article at the top of this forum on having Hazel go into subfolders. In this case you'll want to move the files themselves and not the folders.
