Hello,
I've been reading on the boards (http://www.noodlesoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=466) and consulting the help and I still seem unable to do what I want.
I would find, in a folder with subfolders, all folders that contain music, and move the folders to 'Music'

Thanks for helping.

The main problem is having a rule that operates on a file affect its containing folder. Check out this thread: http://www.noodlesoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=135&p=1683

Midway through that thread, there is an AppleScript that shows how you can tell Hazel to "re-target" such that any actions executed after that script operate on a different file. In this case, it switches to the parent folder.

Try that and let me know if you need any more help.

Hi Teco, this is my rules set to archive the same goal:

2 differents folders watched: folder DOWNLOAD and the final folder named MUSIC

The rules in folder DOWNLOAD :
1) if kind is folder THEN run rules on folder contents
2)if kind is music AND date last modified is not in the last 5 minutes (to prevent incomplete download to be moved) THEN move the files to folder MUSIC

The rules in the folder named MUSIC:
1) if kind is folder THEN run rules on folder contents
2) if date added is in the last 2 hours AND color label is not green (to prevent a loop !!) AND kind is music THEN
sort files in subfolders with pattern "authors--->albums" AND set color label green AND import files into iTunes AND send growl notifications with pattern "..." .

Thanks...but in this way you move only the files, not the folders that contains files (.mp3)
