I recently upgraded to High Sierra and noticed that Hazel isn't starting when I log in. I checked the Login Items and Hazel is not listed, but, of course, there is no 'Hazel' app, so I don't know how to add it there. I also didn't see a setting in the Hazel prefs for this. Any help is appreciated!

If you load up Hazel in System Preferences, then it should add it to your Login Items. Also, by chance, are you seeing any bogus entries in your Login Items? There does seem to be a High Sierra but where those appear.

I guess I'm not sure what you mean by 'load up Hazel in System Preferences'. It had been running fine, so I think it's installed correctly. I see it in my Sys Prefs, but I don't see a place there to indicate that it should start on login.

No, I'm not seeing any bogus entries in Login Items, though.

When you load Hazel's preference pane, it attempts to re-add the helper to the login items list. Launch System Preferences and click on Hazel.

I've loaded the preference pane several times and still have no Hazel entry in the login items. I even tried reinstalling it.

Do you have any other third party apps in login items? If so, maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling those to see if they are able to add themselves back in. If not, then there may be some issue with your system.
