Recipe to move/organize medias Sat Sep 03, 2016 7:45 pm • by fmlisboajr
Hi, I would like some help with recipe, I'm new user, what I need:

1) I have one drive with many medias in many folders, I would like search from root to find all medias (movies and pictures).
2) move to another drive in these formats:
Medias/videos/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD-filename.xxx
Medias/pictures/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD-filename.xxx

Where YYYY/MM/ date taken video or picture

.xxx original extension from original file.

Tks in advance.

Check out the sticky article on getting Hazel to go into subfolders. In addition to that, you will need a separate rule to process your files and file them. Check the help on using the Sort into subfolder action.
