I have run into a problem sorting into subfolders using tags.

The rule is pretty simple, just looking for archive files, tagging them as Downloads, and then sorting them


The tags variable is set to pick out the first tag (although in this case there is only one)


But the result is always the same: the rule matches but the files do not move because "Source and destination are the same".


I have tried splitting this into two rules (add tag and sort into subfolders), playing around with their sequence, using the word Archive instead of Downloads in case there is some kind of reserved meaning.

Any suggestions?

Now very confused.

I have the same rule sync'ed from my desktop to my laptop and … it works fine on the latter. Both are running 10.11.5

There may be some odd delay with the tag getting applied. Is the tag always going to be "Download". If so, why not just hard code that into the Sort action?

Appears to be some kind of odd delay. Later on I noticed that some unrelated files were apparently missing data when using Cmd-I in Finder. A reboot has solved things.

Thanks for the prompt response.
