OK, this may not be an Hazel problem, but... I'm running a rule that simply renames files. The rule works OK and the log reflects that the files are in fact renamed. My question is why doesn't Finder show the files new name? I've done several things like closing Finder and re-opening Finder and it (sometimes) still shows the original file name. Is there some way to refresh Finder of which I am unaware? Any ideas why this happens?

Are you sure you are looking in the right place? Maybe you are viewing a different copy of the files?

I have confirmed that I am looking at the right directory. Seems there is a delay after Hazel renames files before Finder reflects the change. I have learned that this is not when renaming files on the internal drive or the attached Passport drive. This only occurs when I am renaming files on attached NAS storage. Further, I have the NAS storage units being kept quite busy with backup and replication activities. If I sit and wait long enough, Finder eventually reflects the changes.

It's probably an issue with the NAS then. I'd look into the settings there.

I'm sure you are right. Thanx for the assistance.
