		<description>Believe it or not, I take that back. I just discovered that the workflow now takes every new pdf and sticks it into the folder I intended for the &quot;Pastors, Active.pdf&quot; file. I&#039;ve tried a few variations, and I&#039;m not getting any results. I guess I&#039;ll have to try your mp3 example and see what happens, but I may not have the time to play around quite that much. Not everything is as easy as it seems on the Mac.</description>

		<description>That absolutely did it! I used the &quot;Find Finder Items&quot; actions, and it worked like a charm. I&#039;ll be using this a lot in the future. Thanks!</description>

		<description>After browsing the library, I found another alternative actions that you might want to try. Instead using &quot;Filter Finder Items&quot; you could use &quot;Find Fider Items&quot; or &quot;Spotlight&quot; as a mean of filtering the files that you want to move. That might do the trick.</description>

		<description>I have tried testing it inside Automator, but that was only after it didn&#039;t work the first time. Anyway, I got the message that you can&#039;t run it in Automator, so I don&#039;t. I take it, then, that those messages don&#039;t mean anything to you (or that, understandably, you don&#039;t want to get involved with offering support for this)?</description>

		<description>The system is working fine for me, so I don&#039;t know why it isn&#039;t working for you. But I guess you tried to &#039;test&#039; the Folder Action inside Automator. You can&#039;t. You&#039;ll have to save it first and let it run independently.</description>

		<description>I followed the instructions to move a file called, &quot;Pastors, Active.pdf&quot; from my desktop (where all my downloaded items go) to a subfolder of one of the folders that sits on my desktop. I replaced all the criteria to match this file and the folder that it goes into, and it tells me that the Filter Finder Items action was completed without an issue, but then the results of the Move Finder Items action is an error (The action &quot;Move Finder Items&quot; was not supplied with the required data) and a warning (No item references were passed to the Move Finder Items action. (-50)). Any idea what the problem is?</description>

		<description>The whole point is to set it up ONCE and then forget about it and let the computer do it for you from then on instead of having to do it manually forever. So it does quickly save time and energy ;)</description>

		<description>This is a Mac app that tags files for file organization:

http://www.nudgenudge.eu/punakea

I dont know of any equivalent for Windows.

In my brain, I figure out that adding tags makes you less worryful about where you place files, because files can be found simply via a search as long as you remember the correct tag - even files kept in different folders would match as long as the tag search query matches.

I think &#039;setting up rules&#039; to move files automatically into designated folders makes more of work. Computers are supposed to ease our work, not create additional work. In this case, additional work is required to set up rules for moving files, and you need to *think what rules you want to set up. It is that thinking (time &amp; energy) we are trying to skip.</description>

		<description>Maybe something like macro automation could help. I&#039;ll look more to this topic. Meanwhile, anybody else could help?</description>
