Hello guys.
I need some help in creating a rule in hazel. I have a very large folder - Downloads - with miscellaneous files - images (jpg, png, etx), videos, music and fonts (otf and ttf). I would like to move to a specific folder (ex. Typography) only fonts that are distributed in various subdirectories while maintaining the same in their respective folders. This is possible? Please, help.
Tks!

Certainly.
The situation is as follows: in the folder DOWNLOADS, contains a wide variety files. Are folders with images, videos, songs and folders with fonts truetype and opentype fonts. What I need is to combine only the folders containing the fonts into a single folder while keeping the same structure of the folder that contains the fonts. For example: the download folder I have the folder which has some Sophisto .PNG files and subdirectories with .OTF files. I need to move this folder without modifying the structure and content. Is it possible?
Sincerely, thank you for your help!

If I understand you correctly, you need to do the following:
- Have Hazel go into subfolders to get at the font files. Read the sticky article at the top of this forum on how to get Hazel to go into folders.
- Move the files while maintaing the folder structure. In the Move action, there's an option to do this. Just click the "i" button to see it.
I think that should basically do it. Report back if you run into any specific problems.
