Hi

Does anyone know how to move a containing folder to trash. I have Hazel look at my downloads folder and when i download a folder that contains a m4v it removes the m4v to another folder, but then how can i delete the folder that it came from?

Thanks in advance...

You can set up another rule to move the folder. If it's empty, you can use Size or Subitem count. If there are other files, then you need to figure out what criteria would work, like the absence of a m4v file.

Ah, ok i'll give that a go. Cheers

How can I specify that an enclosed file does not have the extension of m4v? I can see that you can put "contents" does not contain but i can't specify the "contents extension"?

Cheers

If you want to go that route, hold down option and click the + button to create a condition. This will end up creating a nested condition. There, you can specify "all of its subfiles" and underneath that you can do "extension is not m4v". What that ultimately means is match the folder if all of its subfiles do not have a m4v extension (or none of its subfiles have an m4v extension).

ok, i didn't know you could do that, thanks for your help..
