I've used this macro for years to move stuff out of my Downloads folder and onto my desktop. Recently, it has continued working but gives me a notification of an error (screenshot below). What am I doing wrong?
Have you tried dragging your Downloads folder into the trigger to update the source file path?

Well I don’t want to move the Downloads folder—I want to move whatever file got added to it.
Check for another macro! The dialog says it's a macro called "Trying" that is throwing the error, which is not the name of the posted macro.
My guess is that you've two macros triggered by "add to Downloads" -- the one above is completing first, so "Trying" has no file to move.

The same macro works on my system without throwing any errors. I'd guess a conflict with another macro too. Check your log for clues. Help → Open Logs Folder.
@Nige_S @Wseries Thanks, y'all. I do not have another macro by that name, but I had manually pressed the "Try" button on some of the macro steps. I bet that was still running and conflicted with the macro! Everything is working now.

Hey Jack,
Don't do that when you're seriously testing a macro!
I can't tell you how many times the try button has turned out to be the root of the problem when someone was having strange issues...
I always use a hotkey trigger when testing, and @DanThomas has a macro to run the current macro somewhere on the forum...
