I loved the concept of Hazel the moment I read about it in MacUser. Dowlnoaded, installed, everything seemed all present and correct in Sys Prefs.
BUT...
absolutely nothing happens. Hazel just sits there and nothing at all happens in the folders supposed being swept.
Did all the usual; logout, loginn... restart...uninstall, reinstall...reselect folder to be operated on...write a new test rule...run rules now
No matter what I do, Hazel does nothing at all.
Mac Power PCG5 dual 1.8G OS X 10.4.8
Any known conflicts Why is Hazel on strike? My Mac isn't WalMart after all.
Added some hours later:
Hazel has now worked on one folder but not on my download folder. Here are some bits from the log which look relevant:
