Copying a folder and its contents Wed Dec 03, 2014 4:27 pm • by phobos
Hello everybody
I'm trying to do something that I feel is very easy to do but it fails miserably!
I want to basically create a copy of a folder along with its contents in to a defined folder where further rules will be applied there.
The problem I'm having is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to copy the folder. It seems that hazel just likes to copy the contents of the folder and not the folder along with the contents. Is there a way to achieve that?

Thanks in advance for your answers!
D.

Are you monitoring the folder you want to copy or the folder that contains it? You need to do the latter. The rule has to match the folder, not the files inside.

Yep that was it! Instead of using the parent folder I was using the folder I wanted to move
I feel so dumb!!

Thanks for the quick response!
