Hazel Automation Folder is Hidden? Wed Nov 13, 2024 6:32 pm • by tillemetry
I am running 6.02. I used to have a folder called "Hazel Automation" on my desktop. It had a nice Icon. I liked it.

I haven't used Hazel in a while, but it can help right now. The Hazel Automation folder shows up in the Hazel application, but when I go to show it in the finder, it shows as a grey version of itself; I assume it is hidden. I can't see it on the desktop.

It's frustrating since I used to store subfolders there. The subfolders aren't greyed out in the finder. Why can't I see the main folder? It shows up in a command line ls?

Why is this happening?

Best wishes,

I don't think this is a Hazel issue. I suggest searching around to see why Finder is doing this.

Parallels Toolbox has a setting for hiding desktop files. People are losing access to all their desktop files due to this "feature." It is easy to fix once you know where to look. I assume some patch of theirs changed the default behavior.

I hope this helps someone.
