Hi,

as search dind‘t show me necessary answers I‘ll try it that way.
I have 1 in my understanding simple task I wanna perform: „Move a folder with a specific task to another folder“

Example Monitored folder
Folder A
...File 1
...Folder B „contains tag ‚done‘“
......File 2
......Folder C

So based on the ‚done‘ tag I want to move Folder B with all its content into a seperate backup folder

Target:
Folder „BackUp“
...Folder B
......File 2
......Folder C


My conditions I set up are fine according to the preview check but the MOVE action itself is not done.

Conditions:
IF (Kind = folder AND Tags contain ‚done‘) THEN
MOVE to ‚BackUp‘ folder with ‚copy folder structure = from monitored folder‘

So obviously I have a bug in the MOVE definition but I cannot see yet what is wrong.
My goal is also to only mark the folder as ‚done‘ and not the files within the folder.

Pls help & Thanks
Markus

I suggest going through the troubleshooting guide here: https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/hazel-tro ... ing-guide/

Report back with the output from those diagnostics.

Status - Solved


The logFiles itself showed that the rule I defined for moving is not executed at all.

I had another „Sync“ Rule which I deactivated shortly and then it worked.
So it seems that First Sync and then Move is somehow not working. I cannot understand it fully but at least the move works now.

Try putting "Continue matching rules" at the end of your "first sync" rule.
