5.5.13   Open in External Viewer

Opens the selected records in a specialized viewer application such as Preview, Safari, or Mail. Folders and mailboxes will open in a new window in EagleFiler. If you open an e-mail, the message that’s displayed in Mail is the message that’s stored in EagleFiler’s library, not the original message that was imported from Mail (which might already have been deleted).

If a search is in effect, EagleFiler passes the search string to the external viewer so that it can show you the matches in the document.

Double-clicking a record and pressing Return are shortcuts for choosing this command from the menu. Hold down the Option key to open the source URL instead of the stored file.

To change which application will open a document, use the Reveal in Finder command, then choose Get Info from the Finder’s File menu and look in the Open with section of the info window.
