Problem rule to move tv shows and movies Tue Apr 22, 2014 11:14 am • by braisoasis
Hi, I have one problem with Hazel.
I´m trying to put in order my downloads folder and one of the rules that I want to introduce is send the tv shows to a subfolder with name Series and the movies to a subfolder name Peliculas.

Well, I use a simple rule for the TV shows: If the name of the file match (...).S123E123 move to folder Series and the rule for the movies is If the name of the file does not match (...).S123E123 and is a movie move to folder Peliculas.

I set this rule because I download all my tv shows with the app TVShows and that is the name rule that I have in the app.

The problem is that I test this rules in a test folder but when I introduce the rules in the download folder Hazel don´t do anything and now I´m testing again in a test folder and the rule don´t work. Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

Thanks

I suggest going through the troubleshooting guide that's at the top of the forum. In particular, make heavy use of the preview function.

To do what you are trying to do I found a set of rules someone else created and just imported them into my own copy of hazel. All I had to do was change the folder where I wanted the output to go.

Here is the link to the hazel rules that I use https://www.dropbox.com/s/kqgdbc7hzrh5rpk/TVShows.hazelrules

Let me know if that helps you out. :D
