Hi all,

I’m moving files manually into a folder “Images” which Hazel is watching. Hazel generates a subfolder within the folder “Images”, and moves the copied files into this newly created subfolder.



After this, Hazel should rename the subfolder with a certain pattern (timestamp), archive it, and move it into another folder for upload.



Whatever action I try to do with this folder, nothing happens. It seems like that Hazel is ignoring the 2nd rule. Just two years ago, I managed to solve exactly the same thing, without any issues. But I can’t remember how I did it

Only one rule can match a file at a time. You can fix this in a few ways. First is to make the first rule more specific. As it stands now, it matches everything. If you change it to only match image files, it will ignore the folders, thus allowing folders to match the second rule.

Dear Mr. Pasta (sorry, Noodle ),

how simple things can be… matching images did it, of course. Thanks a lot!
