Looking to make a rule that takes all files added to a folder in a week, creates a folder, adds them to the new folder and does this every week.

At the end of a month there would be ~4 folders there.
End of a year 52.

How would you create this rule?

You can use Sort into subfolder with "date added" as the pattern. Edit the date to only use the "week of the year" attribute.

Thanks!

Worked great.

Is there a tutorial that covers each of the operator options in 1 doc, or not right now?

Which operator options? Not sure what you mean by that but you can check the in-app help/manual for details on most things.

@MrNoodle, what I meant was a page that shows each option (Move / Sort Into Subfolder / etc) and a quick 1 sentence on what each means.

I am having an issue now where this rule is creating a YYYY-MM folder and then sorting some into the subfolder of that, so creating a subfolder instead of sorting into main folder.

This happened when I copied the rule and moved the copy to another folder.
The original rule seems to have been changed.

How can I troubleshoot this?

The manual does have a single chapter for that.

If subfolders are being sorted into subfolders, then that means you didn't filter them out in your rules. Remember that rules apply to everything in a folder so it's up to you to prevent that.

How would I filter them out since the folder being sorted into was created on last rule run.

Shouldn't matter. Not everything is done in a single pass.
