5.5.11   Open With 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 is a shortcut 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.
