Hi there...

Hazel is such a great piece of software with a lot of possibilities - but still a little bit frustrating for a newbie like me...

I try to use Hazel for the following task:

A source path with a bunch of subfolders containing my original pictures:

Drive A:
+myPictures
++2011
++2012
++2013
+++2013-02-04 Pics
+++2013-12-07 More Pix
++2014
+++2014-01-08 Incredible Pics

and so on.

On Drive B you can find the same structure,

Drive B:
+Original Files
++2011
++2012
++2013
+++2013-02-04 Pics
+++2013-12-07 More Pix
++2014
+++2014-01-08 Incredible Pics


So what I want Hazel to do for me:

If there is a new subfolder with files on Drive A I want a copy in Drive B in the correspondending subfolder, but only for new added files. If a file already exists it should not be changed (nor deleted, if this should happen on Drive A).

May be that's an easy one, but in the moment I'm overwhelmed by the possibilities and don't know how to handle that.

Thanks for your help

Check the sticky topic up top about going in to subfolders. From there, create another rule to copy the files over, making sure to use the option to copy the folder structure along with it. I believe that should do what you want.

Thanks, this helps!
