I have this simple rule:

Folder: Applications
If all the following conditions are met
Any File
Reveal in Finder

Problem: when a file is added to my Applications folder, it opens all the folders inside the Applications folder. I just want it to open the Applications folder itself so that I can access the file/application that was recently added to it.

Any suggestions for why it's working this way?

Thanks

The way that you have this setup, you're telling Hazel to open all the folders :)

When you add a file to Applications, Hazel notes that "Any file should be revealed in finder", so its going to reveal every folder in finder, since folders match with "anyfile"

You can do a few things.

1) Add a folder-ignoring condition "If file type is folder, then ignore file"
2) Add a file date marker "If file was added in the last 5 minutes, then reveal in finder"
3) Only reveal application files "If file extension is app then reveal in finder"

Hope that helps.

Thanks. It worked. I need to study the rule procedure more.

Not sure I understand that; can you describe how to do it? Thanks!
