Hi all, new to Hazel for photo management, and I'm wondering if I can use it for a giant photo management program.
I want it to pull photos from multiple drives and move them to a new folder, and put them in subfolders by exif data.
Year, then month within year.

The question I have is--what do I need to put in the rule to make that happen (subfolders) and can Hazel manage dupes if there are duplicate images. In other words I want to write a rule that says don't move it if it is a duplicate, instead, move to my suspected dupes folder.

Thank you for your help!

It really depends. If you mean dupes in that they have the same filename, then when moving files into the folder, you have the option of renumbering the file instead of replacing it. To move it into a separate folder altogether would probably require a script as it is specialized logic.

If the files contain the same contents but totally different names, then that's not something Hazel can detect. Again, you'll need to use a script or a program specifically built for that.
