Recent Install - I messed up Tue Apr 08, 2014 12:51 pm • by Jon
There was a long delay installing the update of Hazel this morning. It just hung for the longest time. The short story, I closed Hazel. Hazel's App Sweep popped up with a group of Hazel files. Like a fool, I gave permission to move to the files to the Trash and emptied the trash.

The $64 question is what folder should contain the rules? I'm hoping that I can find a recent copy of the files in Time Machine. The other option is to recreate each rule. This might not be a bad idea, would give me a change to improve the rules.

Thanks in advanced.

Do you recall during which part of the install it hung? Was it before or after the restart of System preferences? But yes, App Sweep popping up is a bug. Try going into your trash, finding the old .prefPane file and moving that out of there. That should hopefully trigger Hazel to offer to reinstall the support files.

Also, could you go into your Library/Logs/Hazel folder and send me the SparkleUpdateLog file?

I looked, I did not see a SparkleUpdateLog file. I did install the new 3.2.7 update. Any suggests for recovering the folders and rules?

Took a few tries to find the correct backup in Time Machine. I was able to successfully recover the recipes.
