Post action after recursion? Tue Jun 16, 2015 2:29 am • by psteijn
Scenario:
I've defined a "recursive" action (Kind == Folder then 'Run rules on folder contents')
This works like a charm, all other rules, will be applied on child folders and files.

Problem:
After all actions are performed on the children, i would like to perform an additional move of to parent directory (subfolder depth == 0), this seems impossible.

I've tried to have to alter the "recursive" action to "Continue matching rules", however now the directory is moved, before any of the child actions are performed.

Hope this is clear enough for you :)

The "Run rules on folder contents" always occurs at the end for that rule for various technical reasons. The only workaround I can think of is to maybe color the folder and then have another rule process folders with that color.
