I use Hazel a lot on my machine for various tasks and thus in the Hazel app, in the left-side Folders pane, I have a long list of folders that have rules applied to them. Since the folder names in this pane are the same as the folder names in Finder, with these names sometimes not having a lot of meaning on their own, it's hard to know what each one is for (at a quick glance). Is there any way to organize these folders (aside from reordering them) within Hazel?

For example, I have 6 different folders (each with their own rules applied to them) within Hazel that are part of my photo/video workflow. On their own, their names don't really make a lot of sense within Hazel and they got lost within all the other (unrelated) folders I have in the app for other tasks. It would be a huge benefit to be able to organize all related folders into a parent folder (within Hazel) to group them together by task, etc.

Just wondering what others are doing to try and manage this?

Thanks,
Kristin.

If there are multiple folders with the same name, Hazel should provide extra context (i.e. the name of the folder it's in). And maybe not as useful but if you hover over the folder, it will give you the full path.

Another thing you can do is assign each folder a unique icon in Finder. Hazel should show that icon as well in the list.

You Can use an empty folder as a divider:
___________Task 01
Xxxx
Xxxx
Xxxx
___________Task 02
an so on...

That's a good idea for a quick solution, but it would be good to be able to group folders in the list.
