Date Last Modified depth?

Hi guys,

I'm having a rule where any projects that I haven't touch in awhile gets archived in an old folder by checking the Date Last Modified on project folders. But I realised that the depth of the Date Last Modified is 1 level? The sub-folders/sub-files in my project which I edited recently isn't taken into consideration and the folder still gets moved to old even though I have just edited Project1>assets>scripts>something.css recently. Is there a way to check any file/folder within a folder if it has been modified recently?

Check this thread: http://www.noodlesoft.com/forums/viewto ... 1593#p6500

That uses the sync action but the conditions are what matters here.

Hi Mr Noodle,

Thanks for pointing me to the thread! Wow, I didn't know that there was a hidden nested rules function that was activated by the option key. Do consider adding that into the ui, I think it's a really powerful option which many might miss~ =)
Thanks again~ Cheers!

For better or worse, it's the standard way (try it when editing Smart Folders in Finder or iTunes). I've looked into various ways of making it more obvious but it tends to be confusing. Also, nested conditions tend to be used incorrectly by people looking for a way to process sub-files, which is why the target pop-up only shows up there and not at the top level "If (any/all) are met" line.
