Hi there!
I am trying to solve a problem. I want to duplicate a file and put it into two different network-folders. But sometimes files are missing in one of the folders. Sometimes there is popping a growl notification that a file could not be copied.

I use the following rue:

(All)
Kind is not Folder
Name does not start with "."

Sort file into subfolder with pattern: Subfolder1
Copy file to folder Networkfolder 1

_____

The rule for the Subfolder1 is:

(All)
Kind is not Folder
Name does not start with "."

Copy file to folder Networkfolder2


I have done this for several folders. Does anybody know what I can do?

Thanks a lot!

You should check the logs to see why the copies are failing. You can also try consolidating the rules. After copying to Networkfolder1, copy to Networkfolder2. I don't think you need to have Hazel monitor the other folder in this case.

Thanks a lot. Well I duplicate the file into two folder because I don't want to keep the file in the origin folder. If I use at first "copy to networkfolder 1" and then "copy to networkfolder 2" the file will stay in the origin folder. If I use "move to networkfolder 2" Hazel takes the file from the networkfolder 1 and puts it into the networkfolder 2 and the file is still in the origin folder.
Is there any possibility to get the file out of the origin folder? I also tried to set label color in a second rule and move to trash in a third rule but it does not work.

You can do a move first then a copy. The move will get it out of the origin and the subsequent copy (which happens on the destination of the previous move) will copy to the second location.
