Automation is great, but you have to be careful. A few months ago I setup a script to look in a folder were i download videos and based on certain criteria I gave the script move them to another folder. It worked great but today I dont’ know what happened. I noticed all the videos on an entire hard drive missing. I ended up finding them in one folder. It seems that the script started applying the rules to all folders on the drive not just the one I told it to. I had to spend several hours re sorting everything back to were they came from. I was trying to be careful since I didn’t want to put in the wrong place a home movie or accidentally delete one.
I think the script went bad when I moved to my new Mac Mini. Even though I ran the migration wizard to copy my old computer setup to the new one I think something went wrong. I am on my new machine for less than a week and I dont believe in coincidences. I do believe I have it fixed it so it should be working correct now.
