Your config file

rules:
  - name: "Find PDFs"
    locations:
      - ~/Downloads
    subfolders: true
    filters:
      - extension: pdf
    actions:
      - echo: "Found PDF!"

Just ran into this - commenting out the migration.migrate_v1(rules) line seemed to solve the issue, but also resulted in an Invalid config file! error. This was caused by malformed yaml on my end, so seems like an issue in the migration logic if you don't have anything to migrate.

[tfeldmann]

The problem seems to be that the wrong config file is loaded. As you can see in check --debug output your config file is located at C:\Users\Gnarf\AppData\Local\organize\organize\config.yaml and contains

# organize configuration file
# https://organize.readthedocs.io

rules:
  - locations:
      - # your locations here
    filters:
      - # your filters here
    actions:
      - # your actions here

Which is invalid...

If you want to run a specific config file you have to add its path to the command, eg: organize sim myconfig.yml.

So what's really inside this file? Or am I reading this wrong?

[tfeldmann]

Closing this as it was most likely simply the starter config file.
