Empty folder delete rule - strange behaviour

[MacOCD]

I created a rule to delete empty folders/subfolder left behind after a different rule imports MP3 files to iTunes then moves them.

I modified my "go into subfolders" rule to ignore folders that are empty (0 bytes)


I then created a different rule to clean up by deleting empty folders.



This rule doesn't get implemented, no matter how long I wait. However, if I go to the import folder in finder and do a "Get Info" on any of the folders in there (empty or not), suddenly my rule runs and all the empty folders are deleted.

It's as if the folder size isn't ever rechecked after the files have been removed.

Does anyone know how I can make this rule run automatically?

[EDIT] I've discovered that if I manually delete items myself making a folder empty that folder will be moved to trash, but if Hazel actions move/delete items making a folder empty it will not be deleted.

[EDIT2] Hopefully Links to second picture now correct

Thanks,

Mark.

[Mr_Noodle]

I can't see the second image so I can't really tell you what's going on. Can you re-post that?

[MacOCD]

Strange, I could see it ok. I've re-uploaded is that better? Thanks.

[Mr_Noodle]

I can see it now, thanks. When you view it in the preview, does the empty folder show up as matching the "Delete empty folder" rule?

[MacOCD]

...does the empty folder show up as matching the "Delete empty folder" rule?

Yes it does match that rule, however actually starting the Hazel prefpane makes this rule work as I expect it to.

Experiment:-

Copied a folder of MP3 files 2 folders deep into my "Import" folder.
eg. ImportMusic/Artist/Album/MultipleTracks.mp3

The tracks all import to iTunes just fine using my import rule and are then moved (with the same file hierarchy) into my 'Imported' folder. Left behind in the 'ImportMusic' folder are the empty folders Artist/Album/.

I waited 10 minutes and mouthing happened. I start the Hazel prefpane and within 2 minutes the Artist folder and it's Album subfolder have both been moved to trash. I didn't need to check the match for it to work.

Also, if I 'Get Info' in Finder one of the folders the rule will work.

Left alone the folders will stay there, it seems Hazel doesn't know the folder is now empty until Hazel.prefpane is started or Get Info is done on one of the folders.

I've repeated this many times.

[Mr_Noodle]

Bringing up the pref pane always triggers a run of all folders so that shouldn't be a surprised. I'm not sure how "Get Info" is doing it though. I suggest checking the logs. Go to the "Info" pane and click "View Log". Send the logs, noting which folder you expected to be deleted and approximately when.

Around 11:17am I dragged a folder called "Soundgarden", which contained a subfolder called "1988 Ultramega OK" (with 13 MP3 tracks in it) into my "iTuned Import" folder.

Straight away the "iTunes Import" rule ran as I would have expected it to.

All the MP3s were imported into iTunes and subsequently moved to a separate "iTunes Imported" folder. This left an empty "Artist" folder (holding an empty "Album" subfolder) inside my "iTunes Import" folder. I expected my "Delete Empty Folders" rule to kick in at this point as the "Album" & "Artist" folders were now 0bytes empty, but the rule didn't trigger.

I then left the computer idle for a couple of hours to see if the rule would eventually run but it didn't.

Around 13:47 I opened Finder on my Mac and right clicked the outer "Artist" folder and selected "Get Info". Immediately Hazel ran the "Delete Empty Folders" rule, correctly deleting both the "Album" subfolder and the outer "Artist folder.

No interaction was made with Hazel that could have triggered this rule processing.

It's very odd.

[Mr_Noodle]

Can you turn on debug mode as described here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=296 ?

That should produce more verbose logs including, hopefully, more information about file events that trigger Hazel.

[WITH DEBUG ENABLED...]

I copy a folder of MP3 files into "iTunes Import" folder and the "Import to iTunes" rule triggers as before.

I wait some time to make sure empty folders won't delete on their own...

Then I open the "iTunes Import" folder in Finder... Nothing happens... Before doing a "Get Info" on the now visible "Artist" folder I click the little triangle to reveal what may be inside it (nothing) and now the event triggers because I looked inside the "Artist" folder in finder.

Code: Select all

[Mr_Noodle]

Thanks. Looking into it. Hopefully should have a fix in the next version (will probably be in the next beta patch if you are running that).

[MacOCD]

Thanks. Looking into it. Hopefully should have a fix in the next version (will probably be in the next beta patch if you are running that).

I'm using 3.2.7 (build 1099), I've only been using Hazel for 5 days, I'm still evaluating but I'll definitely be buying. I hadn't noticed the beta forums section. I'll definitely take a look at the next beta version to see if it solves my issue.

[Mr_Noodle]

BTW, the beta is, well, beta, so it may be buggy and may not be the best thing for a new user. Just thought I'd warn you.
