Folder in a folder

Hi all, sorry for the perhaps dumb question...

I'm monitoring a "Folder A" that contain many folders, the scheme is this:

Folder A
-- Folder A1
-- Folder A2
-- Folder A3
---- Folder Dummy

So, sometimes "Folder Dummy" is present in any sub-folders contained in Folder A, in this example is contained in Folder A3.
Now I wish that Hazel move to trash all the Folder Dummy older than one month.

I've set-up this hazel macro:

Code: Select all
If all of the following conditions are met:
Kind is folder
Name is Folder Dummy
Date Last Modified is before This Month

Do the following:
Move to folder Trash

The problem is that this doesn't work, it seems that Hazel do not look inside all the tree of Folder A.
I tried to Preview the macro, if I select to the "Folder Dummy" all the condition are green, but not if I select the Folder A.

Any advice?
Thanks!
- Marco.

Search the help for "subfolders". By default, Hazel does not go into subfolders. The help describes how to create a rule to tell it to do so.
