A problem with moving folder using "run rules on folder ..."

Last edited by Ekasimov on Sat Apr 09, 2011 9:23 am, edited 1 time in total.

Hello. I have a problem: I use torrent client to download movies. When I run torrent file through torrent client it creates a folder in downloads which contains .jpg and .avi files. I need Hazel to move .jpg to image, .avi to movie, folder which included these files (which was created by torrent client) will be deleted.

Now I can move these files to folders, using rule "run rules on folder contents", but I can't move to trash the folder which included these files.

Please, help me!

Have another rule, probably before the rule to tell it to go into subfolders, to filter on empty folders and move those to the trash. Give that a shot and post back here.

So, I got a couple way to solve that problem.

One way. We can follow your idea, first set a rule to filter empty folders: "Size is 0 bytes" > "Move files to Trash", then set a rule to go into subfolders: "Kind is folder" > "run rules on the folder contents".

Another way. First we set rule to move folders depending on date: "kind is folder" and "data added is not in the last 15 min" > "move files to trash", then set rule to go into subfolders: "Kind is folder" > "run rules on the folder contents".

I think there are more ways

Mr_Noodle, thanks for this product!
