New “Treat as Path” option for text-based attributes. In “Sort into subfolder” patterns, you can now tell Hazel to treat the attribute as a path, specifying which character to use as the path separator. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with the table feature, where you can specify a column which contains various subfolders to file things into.

Fixed various layout issues with the folder list.
Fixed layout with the search toolbar item. Now takes into account its width when its expanded, which should address issues when using layout 3 for the main window.

Fixed undo for enabling/disabling rules.

Alert when leaving an unsaved rule now has an option to save.
