Is there a way of running just a single rule? When adding a new one, it would be convenient to just run a single one rather than having to disable all the rest before using Run Now.

Based on Black Hole's suggestion
If:Recording Flagged as Encrypted
Then: Queue recording for Decryption
i.e
I can see it scanning a number of files that I know need decrypting (as a test I manually decrypted one through the new file browser choices). But the sweeper output says
to each of these files
along with the revised beta package, I have set up a new sweeper rule
If:Recording Flagged as Encrypted
Then: Queue recording for Decryption
i.e
Code:
recurse 7 flag Encrypted action {queue decrypt}
Code:
18/12/2016 14:44 - Processing [flag Encrypted action {queue decrypt}]
18/12/2016 14:44 - flag(Encrypted)
18/12/2016 14:44 - Nomatch

Sweeper version 2.1.4-2 has been released which adds support for the new queue feature in the web interface (see https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/webif-web-interface-1-3-4.7619/ )
I've just been trying Sweeper for the first time and modified a couple of the example rules, but not getting the behaviour I expected.
I can see why this is happening - the folder rule applies to all folders, even the one where the recordings are being swept to. I can now see that the orignal rule avoided it by having a subdirectory. Is there any other way round this? Any way to exclude the "2.Children" directory from the folder rule? I would rather not be forced to have them in misc and would like to keep the solo recordings at the higher level. i.e. a mini version of the full My Video tree.
lcn {>= 120} lcn {<= 124} action {move {2. Children}}
folder lcn {>= 120} lcn {<= 124} action {fileundercreate {2. Children}}
So, the I changed the directory names (and also the channel numbers) from the default, but the second rule then also sweeps any solo recordings in the "2. Children" directory into a subdirectory, so I end up with /media/My Video/2. Children/2. Children. folder lcn {>= 120} lcn {<= 124} action {fileundercreate {2. Children}}

How about on the sweeper 'test' mode to have the option of not displaying the "No Match" lines so that it's easier to spot what it is doing? I appreciate that it is possible that you need the "No Match" lines so that you can see whether it is doing what you want it to, that's why I suggested an option.
Many thanks, didn't know about that.
Or a summary of actual action/moves at the end.

I'm sure af123 will around to it, he has been quite busy recently

Would something like work:
lcn {>= 70} lcn {<= 79} action {move Children/Miscellaneous}
where the lcn numbers are radio stations ?
Plus see post 248
lcn {>= 70} lcn {<= 79} action {move Children/Miscellaneous}
where the lcn numbers are radio stations ?
Plus see post 248
OP
You can use "Recording flagged as Radio" to detect these, or use a channel number range as suggested by peterworks.
