Drag files here to import them. You can drop onto a folder or tag source
to import files directly into that folder or to import them and assign
that tag. You can use Exposé mid-drag to bring a window to the front and
reveal the source that you want to drop onto.
To hide and show the source list, you can use the Show ‣ Source List command
in The View Menu or drag or double-click the divider.

The top-level sources are:
- Library
- Records
- All the records in the library, from all the folders (except the trash).
Click the triangle next to the Records source to see folder sources
matching the folders in the library’s Files folder in the Finder.
You can drag and drop files and folders to re-arrange their hierarchy.
- Trash
- The records that have been deleted from the library, but which are
still available until you empty the trash. This corresponds to the
library’s Trash folder in the Finder.
- Search For
- Recently Added
- The last 25 files that were added to the library.
- Recently Modified
- The last 25 files that were modified within EagleFiler or using
another application.
- Unfiled
- Files that are at the top level of the library, e.g. ones that are
directly in the Files folder rather than in one of its sub-folders.
For example, if you like to categorize all your files into subfolders,
Unfiled shows you all the files remaining to be categorized.
- Untagged
- Files anywhere in the library that do not have any tags (other than
“note”).
- Tags
- Tag sources behave like playlists in iTunes or albums in iPhoto.
Select a tag source to view all the records with that tag. You can
drag records onto a tag source to assign that tag to them. Each
record may appear in any number of tag sources. Deleting a record
from a tag source unassigns that tag; the record remains in the
library. You can drag and drop tags to re-arrange their hierarchy.
You can select more than one source at a time to view all their contents at once
or to winnow by tag. For example, to see all the messages in either of two
mailboxes, select both mailboxes at once. To see all the flagged files in a
folder, select the folder and the flagged tag. To see all the records that
are both flagged and unread, select both the flagged and unread tags.
You can type the first few letters of a source’s name to select it. Press Return
or Enter to edit its name.
