I am new to Hazel and have a little issue I can't seem to fix; I've searched the forums and don't see a similar question, but pardon me if this has been answered somewhere else.

I want to do this:

Modify a file name in a specific way by adding a bit of text to the name
Trigger Hazel to, when it sees that file name change, move this file with the modified name to a different folder, and then add a tag to the file.
Everything works...except that when these files already have existing tags, Hazel removes those existing tags before adding the new one I want it to add. So instead of "add tags," the action is more like "replace existing tags and add tags"

Any thoughts on how I might do what I intend for Hazel to do? Thanks.

What happens if you remove the "Add tags" action? Do the tags carry over then? How about if you move the file in Finder? Is the destination folder on a different drive and is there anything non-standard about that drive (i.e. formatted with a different filesystem, a network share, etc.)

If I remove the "add tags" action, the tags carry over. The folders are both folders in Dropbox integrated with the finder.

Can you try it with non-Dropbox folders and see if you get the same result?
