sufficient AppleScript support to work with EagleFiler’s capture
key, so EagleFiler will now display a message that tells how you
can add an EagleFiler button to Chrome’s toolbar.
- Added the Convert Plain Text to Rich Text

text, URL, or files) is now enabled by default on Mac OS X 10.6.
You may still need to log out and log back in for the system to
recognize it, however.
- Worked around a change in Mac OS X that could make EagleFiler
report an error when opening a library.
- Fixed a regression where sometimes EagleFiler didn’t open files
in the proper external viewer/editor application.
- 1.4.10—November 10, 2009

Thunderbird.
- The script
for quickly creating new text files from LaunchBar will now let

sets kMDItemOMUserTagTime) for compatibility with newer
versions of OpenMeta.
- EagleFiler now gives priority to the org.openmetainfo
extended attributes if they’re present and have more recent
timestamps. This will make it possible to transition away from
keys in Apple’s domain.
- Added the RecordsListHasAlternatingBackground esoteric
preference for people who prefer a solid white background
color in the records list.
- When you ask it to create a new file, EagleFiler no longer
replaces / in the filename with -.
- To avoid confusion with the single-selection case, pressing
Return in the records list no longer opens multiple selected
records externally.

- When using Mac OS X 10.6, you can use the Keyboard pane in
System Preferences to add EagleFiler’s import service to
contextual menus in your other applications.
- Added the OpenEagleFilerURLsInNewWindow esoteric
preference, which can be used to make EagleFiler open record
links in an existing window rather than creating a new one.
- When dragging from the records list, EagleFiler now makes
x-eaglefiler URLs available (instead of titles) when the
receiving application expects plain text. This makes it possible
to, e.g. drag and drop to Things to create a link to an
EagleFiler record.
- EagleFiler now preserves the flagged state when capturing from
Yojimbo.
- Updated the How can I put my library on my iPhone? section of
the manual to reference Quickword, which allows editing of plain

- Capturing a bookmark from NetNewsWire, OmniWeb, Safari, and
WebKit Nightly is much faster because EagleFiler no longer goes
online to download the contents of the page.
- The records list now supports click-through. This means that it
no longer takes two clicks to select a different record when one
of the inspector windows has focus.
- Added an optimization so that image files with custom icons can
be displayed in the records list without having to ask Quick
Look to generate a thumbnail.
- Improved the library opening speed by reducing the time spent
building the action menu.
- The How can I access my library from multiple Macs? and How

- EagleFiler no longer auto-opens the Errors window at launch
if it was open at quit.
- The crash reporter works better with pre-release versions of Mac
OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

“1.4.10”—just in case.
- Made the progress window wider so that the text fits better.
- Updated the links for Mailsmith’s new home.
- Fixed a bug where EagleFiler’s auto-conversion from an RTF file
to RTFD (e.g. when you pasted in an image) could overwrite a
pre-existing RTFD file.
- Fixed a bug where the Reply to Message command didn’t work
properly with Entourage.

didn’t set the proper source URL.
- Fixed a bug where the record viewer would not remain collapsed
when resizing the window.
- Fixed a bug where double-clicking on a column header in the
records list would open the selected records.
- Fixed a bug where, for the first Capture with options for a
library, EagleFiler would suggest the “unread” tag even if the
preferences were set not to mark new records as unread.
- Fixed a bug where EagleFiler would report an error when
importing an empty message from Apple Mail.
- 1.4.7—July 28, 2009
- EagleFiler now copies tags into the extended attributes for
Spotlight searchability and interoperability with applications that
use OpenMeta (requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later). EagleFiler also
integrates with OpenMeta’s list of recent tags and (since version 1.4.5)
imports tags that were assigned using OpenMeta. As with previous
versions, EagleFiler’s primary tag store is its database, so you won’t
lose any metadata if you store, edit, or copy files in a manner that
discards extended attributes, or if you restore from a Time Machine
backup. Once a file is in EagleFiler, the tags must be edited using
EagleFiler. The Copy tags to Spotlight comments option still works,
but since OpenMeta support makes it largely redundant it is no longer
recommended except for use on Mac OS X 10.4 and for interoperability
with non-OpenMeta applications.
- EagleFiler now displays thumbnail icon previews of image files
(requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later).
- Improved EagleFiler’s capture support for Journler. It now
preserves the tags, comments, images, and resources, and it
omits the entry header.
- Revealing a message in the Finder now reveals a .eml file
instead of an .emlx file. You can use File ‣ Get Info on
this file to make Entourage the default message viewer.
- When exporting messages, EagleFiler now adds a .mbox file
extension so that Entourage will recognize that it can import
from the file.
- Improved the Web archives that EagleFiler imports from pages
served as XML.
- Now shows Growl notifications when using drag and drop to copy
files from one library to another.
- EagleFiler now shows a library’s spinning progress indicator for
all types of user-initiated operations, not just imports.
- Improved the parsing of invalid e-mail addresses.
- Increased the default capacity of encrypted libraries.
- Fixed a bug where EagleFiler allowed editing of locked files and
then didn’t save them properly (due to a suspected OS bug).

a new window with the ClearSearchWhenChangingSources esoteric
preference enabled.

of newly typed text.
- Fixed a bug where the raw source for a message would sometimes show
one extra character.
- The crash reporter works better with pre-release versions of Mac OS
X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
- The crash reporter now warns before sending a report without an
e-mail address.
- You can now press Enter to click the Send Report button in the
crash reporter.
- Updated Korean localization.

- When capturing from Apple Mail, EagleFiler can now directly import
messages that are selected in smart mailboxes and in special
“merged” mailboxes such as Inbox.
- When you do a library search for a phrase, EagleFiler now removes
the quotation marks when transferring the query to Preview or Skim.
- EagleFiler now imports tags that are stored in a file’s extended
attributes under com.apple.metadata:kOMUserTags by applications
such as Tags, TagIt, and Default Folder X.
- Improved compatibility with pre-release versions of Mac OS X 10.6
(Snow Leopard).

EagleFiler to import the wrong document.
- EagleFiler’s temporary files are now excluded from Time Machine
backups.
- Worked around a bug in the Safari 4 beta that could make Convert
For Editing not preserve images.
- Worked around a change in Safari 4 that could cause problems when
displaying or indexing Web archives.
- EagleFiler now closes files immediately after you’re done viewing
them.
- Fixed a bug where the Errors window did not transform filenames
for display.
- Fixed a bug where EagleFiler didn’t show Growl notifications after
importing certain files via AppleScript.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes changes to a text or RTF document were
not saved before opening the file in an external editor.
- Fixed a bug with the date format in mbox files.
- Fixed a bug where EagleFiler did not follow aliases in the
Stationery folder.
- 1.4.4—February 11, 2009
- Streamlined capturing from Apple Mail. EagleFiler no longer asks
whether you want to capture the selected mailboxes or the selected
messages; now it always captures the selected messages. Also made
other changes to reduce the number of dialog boxes.
- You can now use Command-Down-Arrow (Reveal in Container) with a
message or file selected to have EagleFiler select it inside its
containing mailbox or folder in the source list. This is useful if
you had originally selected the message or file in Records, a
tag source, or a smart folder and you want to see it in its original
context.
- When you ask EagleFiler to import a file (e.g. by dropping it onto
EagleFiler’s Dock icon or choosing Open With ‣ EagleFiler)
that’s already in the current library, EagleFiler now opens the file
for viewing rather than complaining that it’s already in the
library.
- EagleFiler now uses non-modal notification windows (Growl, where
available) to display the progress when capturing from a mail
program.
- EagleFiler now uses its own Find panel everywhere, not
relying on the system Find panel, in order to avoid having
two separate windows and to improve the interaction with the
search field.
- Added the SendsWholeSearchString esoteric preference, which lets
you control whether EagleFiler updates search results as you type.
- When you search for a phrase, EagleFiler now tries to highlight the
whole phrase in the viewer, rather than the constituent words.
- The Find panel works better with Spaces.
- Items in the Services menu can now read the selection from
EagleFiler’s records list.
- You can now use the capture key to import New York Times Web pages
that are in printer format, without having EagleFiler download the
screen format instead.
- When importing Web pages as RTF(D), EagleFiler now stores the URL in
the file’s Subject field.
- When you do a library search for a phrase, EagleFiler removes
the quotation marks when transferring the query to the Find
panel.
- When creating PDFs from Web pages, EagleFiler no longer inserts your
username into the PDF metadata.
- When you press the capture key, EagleFiler now bounces its Dock icon
once. This makes it easier to see that the capture has begun if the
Dock was hidden or the sound was turned down.
- When creating a new plain text file with the File column hidden,
if you enter a filename with an extension into the sheet, EagleFiler
uses that extension instead of .txt.
- When merging mailboxes that are selected in the source list,
EagleFiler no longer maintains the selection when the mailboxes are
moved to the trash.
- Deleting multiple errors at once is much faster.
- You can now use Page Setup to change the orientation and scaling
when printing.
- When printing a text view, no longer scales down the width unless
it’s necessary to fit it on the page.
- The print job title now shows the title of the document being
printed, rather than the name of the library.
- If a file wasn’t downloaded from the Internet, its source URL is now
empty rather than being a file: URL.

copied into the To Import folder while the copy was still in
progress.
- Fixed a bug where indexing could hang if analyzing the file produced
a large number of errors.
- Fixed a bug where some Boston Globe Web pages were downloaded as
HTML files instead of as Web archives.

with the note tag if it was in the Spotlight comments.
- Fixed a bug where the URL wasn’t properly set when importing Web
page text as RTFD via drag and drop.
- Fixed a bug where, when importing IMAP messages from Apple Mail,
EagleFiler would sometimes incorrectly report that attachments were
missing.

- EagleFiler can now display Skim notes attached to PDF files.
- Added an esoteric preference to make EagleFiler import the
selected text from a Web view in RTF(D) format rather than as a
Web archive.

displays images in HTML e-mails, for those concerned about Web
bugs.

work.
- Fixed a regression where phrase searches found records that
didn’t match.
- 1.4.1—October 28, 2008
- The Tag Cloud window now supports tagging/untagging multiple
records at once.
- You can now setup a stationery file’s Spotlight comments so that
new records created from that stationery have certain tags
and/or notes.
- EagleFiler now supports metadata AppleScripts to customize what
happens when you create a new record from stationery. For
example, for a journal entry a script could set the From to the
name of the current user and set the filename based on the
current date. This is described in the New Record ‣ Open
Stationery Folder section of the manual.
- The Quick Look window now works more like in the Finder. Instead
of multiple windows, there’s now a single window whose content
changes depending on what’s selected.
- Added some toolbar shortcuts: Option-click the New RTF
button to create a new plain text file, and Option-click the
Tags button to open the Tag Cloud window.
- EagleFiler can now display Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
images.
- EagleFiler now displays XHTML files as rendered HTML rather than
as XML source.

importing a named stationery file, you can update record checksums,
and you can set the contents of the search field. An example script shows
how to initiate an EagleFiler search from LaunchBar.
- When you click to edit in the File column, EagleFiler no longer
selects the file extension. (Previously, this only worked when
pressing Enter.)
- When importing a selection of text via the Services menu,
EagleFiler now stores the source URL if the text was in a
WebKit-based view (requires Mac OS X 10.5). Due to a bug in Mac
OS X 10.4, dragging and dropping text onto EagleFiler’s Dock
icon now requires Mac OS X 10.5.
- For consistency with the Finder, the Label column of the
records list now shows “--” instead of “None” and sorts by name
instead of number.
- Now uses “&” as the default prefix when copying tags to the
Spotlight comments.
- Improved reporting of unexpected errors.
- Undo now works when the Tag Cloud window is in the front.

from the search field.
- Fixed a regression where messages in mailboxes could not be opened
in Apple Mail when running on Mac OS X 10.4.

preserved when importing, if you had Copy tags to Spotlight
comments unchecked.
- 1.4—October 14, 2008
- Highlights
- You can now create custom smart folders, which can contain
an unlimited number of criteria, optionally using nested
Any/All/None criteria. Creating and editing smart folders
requires Mac OS X 10.5; however, once created, the smart
folders can be used with Mac OS X 10.4.
- Smart folders can now be organized into folders.
- You can define actions to occur when you drag a record
onto a smart folder. For example, you could make a smart
folder that shows records with a certain combination of
tags, and that will assign those tags to dragged records.
- You can now create any type of new file from within
EagleFiler. To do this, choose New Record ‣ Open Stationery
Folder from the File menu. Whichever files you put in
the Stationery folder become available as templates in
the File ‣ New Record menu.
- You can now drag messages out of mailboxes to convert them
to freestanding .eml files. It’s less efficient to store
messages individually rather than in mailbox files, but
there are also several advantages: the messages can be
stored alongside other types of files, they can be freely
moved between folders, and they are searchable by Spotlight.
- Added a Tag Cloud window, which shows a compact listing
of all the tags. You can click on a tag to toggle whether
it’s assigned to the selected record.
- Added a Find panel for searching within PDFs and Web
archives.
- Added a preference to control which format Web pages are
imported in. The supported formats are: Bookmark, PDF, Plain
Text, Rich Text, Rich Text With Images, and Web Archive (the
default).
- Added a preference to control what happens to Spotlight
comments when importing. This is useful, e.g. if you had
already used another application to tag your files or if you
had entered notes from the Finder. If you tell EagleFiler to
Import as tags, each word is imported as a tag. If you
tell it to Import as notes and tags, EagleFiler extracts
tags (prefixed by & or marked using Punakea’s format)
and imports the remaining comments text as notes.
- Added commands to the contextual menus (Assign Tag,
Set Filename, Set From, Set Title) so that you
can quickly turn the selected text into metadata.
- File Formats
- Added New Record ‣ Plain Text File command.
- EagleFiler can now display Microsoft Word 2007 (.docx)
files (requires Mac OS X 10.5).
- EagleFiler can now display and edit OpenDocument Text
(.odt) files (requires Mac OS X 10.5).
- EagleFiler can now display and search XML and binary
property list (.plist) files.
- Now imports .webloc files as-is rather than converting
them to Web archives.
- EagleFiler now imports .eml files as-is rather than
converting them to single-message mailboxes.
- Bean documents are now imported as a separate file type
rather than as RTFD.
- Interface
- Added Quick Look command, which opens a Quick Look
preview of the selected records in a separate window
(requires Mac OS X 10.5).
- Added an Enclosing Record command in the View menu.
Replaced the Select Source command with the similar but
more useful Contents of Record command in the View
menu. As a result, you can now use Command–Up Arrow and
Command–Down Arrow to navigate up and down the hierarchy of
folders and mailboxes.
- Added Search for Selection contextual menu command.
- When you mouse over a link in a Web view, EagleFiler now
shows the URL at the bottom of the window.
- Revised the toolbar icons and simplified the default toolbar
configuration.
- If there are no matches for a search, EagleFiler draws the
records list background in yellow.
- Adjusted the unread and flagged menu item titles and toolbar
labels for consistency with Mail.
- Increased the resolution of the Dock badges.
- The viewer now shows some helpful text describing the “note”
tag.
- Moved Show Inspector and Show Tags from the
Record menu to the Window menu and renamed Show
Inspector to Show Info.
- Capture
- Can now capture from Entourage, and preserves the message
flags, categories, and projects. If you want EagleFiler to
skip a message, you can assign it the category
“OmitFromArchive”.
- Can now capture from PowerMail, and preserves the message
status and label.
- Can now capture from Preview, if you make it scriptable.
- Can now capture from Together, and preserves the tags,
comments, labels, and ratings.
- When capturing from Mailsmith, EagleFiler can now import
individual messages (before, only mailboxes were supported),
and it now preserves the message status, label, and notes.
- When capturing from Camino, EagleFiler now reads the URL of
the current tab rather than the first tab.
- In the Capture With Options window, if you edit the tags
and then choose a different library, EagleFiler no longer
overwrites the tags with the default ones for the new
library.
- Importing
- You can now import Web pages using bookmarklets.
- Empty files and files that contain only a resource fork
(such as font suitcases) no longer count as duplicates.
- Added an esoteric preference for importing Spotlight
keywords as tags.
- When you try to import a file that’s already inside of the
library folder, EagleFiler can now reveal the file in the

multiple times to open indexes, since Search Kit sometimes
changes its mind about which indexes are valid.
- Bug Fixes
- If an unexpected error occurs while EagleFiler is emptying
the trash, it no longer leaves the library in an
inconsistent state. Also, EagleFiler will now detect and
repair this sort of damage when opening a library.

tags bar. This lets you set the title, from name,
label, tags, and notes of the selected records all at
once.
- Now uses Quick Look to display file types that
EagleFiler doesn’t natively understand (e.g. Pages,
Keynote, OmniGraffle, fonts). This feature requires
Mac OS X 10.5.
- Added Untagged smart folder to the source list.
- Added Date Created and Tag Names columns to
the records list.
- Added Set Label submenu and contextual menu.
- Added specialized viewing and indexing support for
iCalendar (.ics) and vCard (.vcf) files.

files so that you can search for them within
EagleFiler.
- Revised the icons and layout throughout the user
interface.
- Made various optimizations so that EagleFiler is
faster and more responsive.
- Browser Windows
- When creating new rich text files or notes,
EagleFiler now creates RTF files instead of RTFD ones
when possible. RTF files are more compatible and
faster. Additionally, when editing files in the
viewer, EagleFiler automatically converts between RTF
and RTFD depending on whether RTFD is required.
- When using the Record ‣ Tag command to jump to the
tags bar, EagleFiler now moves the insertion point to
the end of the tags, rather than selecting all of
them.
- When you create a New Rich Text File within
EagleFiler, it’s no longer marked as unread.
- The Open With External Viewer toolbar button now
shows which application will be used to open the
file.
- Added Update Checksum toolbar button.
- Now shows tag colors in the source list.
- You can now tab from editing the File column in
the records list into the record viewer, which makes
creating new RTF files smoother. (Requires Mac OS X

was previously opened on, EagleFiler now overrides
the OS and shrinks the window so that it fits on the
screen.
- Added Select Source to the contextual menu.
- Added a custom drag image for the records lists.

EagleFiler now shows the name of the newsgroup in the
To area of the viewer.
- You can now copy an image file that EagleFiler’s
displaying to the clipboard.
- Now remembers between launches if you’ve set the PDF
view to display continuous or facing pages.
- You can now press Command-Delete to delete the
selected record(s) when the viewer has focus.
- You can now double-click the drag strip to collapse
the source list.
- Increased the font size in the tags bar.
- Capture
- If no library is open when you press the capture key,
instead of showing an error alert, EagleFiler now
opens the Capture with options dialog, which lets
you open or create a library to complete the capture.
- Can now capture from Address Book, Flock 1.0,
iCab 4, Keynote, MindManager, Pages,
OmniGraffle, and TextMate.
- Revised the user interface for setting the capture
key.
- While EagleFiler is in the process of capturing (i.e.
running the capture script or showing the capture
options dialog), it now badges the Dock icon with a
picture of a camera.
- Added |creationDate| and |modificationDate|
options for capture scripts.
- Improved preservation of modification and creation
dates when capturing from DEVONthink Pro,
MarsEdit, Journler, and Yojimbo.
- Improved the reliability when capturing from
WebnoteHappy, e.g. if it returns invalid tag, note,
or title information.
- EagleFiler now creates the user Capture Scripts
folder for you.
- Miscellaneous
- If EagleFiler is busy when you ask it to close a
library, it now stops any existing operations (except
when doing so would cause data loss), so you no
longer have to wait and/or stop them yourself.
- When dealing with “Bad Checksum” errors in the
Errors window, you can now update the checksums
for multiple errors at a time, and after updating a
checksum EagleFiler removes the error from the
window.
- Reduced EagleFiler’s RAM use for large libraries.
- Importing
- Text dragged from a Web page is now imported as a Web
archive instead of an RTFD file. (If you want an RTFD
file, you can use the Convert For Editing
command.)
- In addition to checking periodically, EagleFiler nows
checks the To Import folders when it becomes the
active application. This should get new files
imported sooner.
- Now shows a single Growl notification for each batch
of files imported, rather than for each individual
one.
- Now shows a progress spinner next to the action menu
while EagleFiler is busy importing.
- Changed the Dock icon indicator that shows when
EagleFiler is importing. Instead of a red circle, it
now shows a downward pointing arrow.

- Now displays three dates—Created, Added, and Modified—and
the creation and modification dates are editable.
- Fields that are unavailable are now disabled rather than
just marked as uneditable.
- Search
- Now shows the search scope beneath the search box so
that it’s clear which parts of the records you’re
searching.
- When searching, you can now use OR as a synonym
for |, and you can use -word as a synonym for
!word.
- EagleFiler is better at estimating how long indexing
will take when some of the records in the library are
already indexed.
- AppleScript
- The import command now returns a list of the
imported records. This makes it easier to set the
properties of the new records. Additionally,
import now waits until the records have been
imported before returning, so the script knows when
the import has finished.
- The import command now supports a deleting
afterwards option, which makes EagleFiler delete
the source file after successfully importing it.
- You can now use the import command outside of a
tell library document block; it will then target
the frontmost library.
- The source URL property is now settable.
- Bug Fixes
- The order in the labels pop-up menu now matches the
Finder.
- Now remembers the sorted column of the Tags
inspector between launches.

imported a URL of a file that wasn’t a Web page.
- No longer shows the Rebuild dialog when opening a
library if you hold down other modifier keys in
addition to Command-Option.

number if you renamed a file/folder to a name that
differed only by case (and you were using a
case-insensitive filesystem).
- Worked around a Cocoa bug that could, in rare cases,
lead to an infinite loop when saving the library.
- Fixed bug where some Format ‣ Font menu commands
were enabled even though they couldn’t be used
because Allow Editing in Record Viewer was
unchecked.
- Fixed bug where toggling Allow Editing In Record
Viewer didn’t take effect immediately.
- Fixed crash involving the tags bar.

and have it set to open a library when it’s launched,
EagleFiler will now re-hide itself after opening that
library.

- The tooltip for the Tags column in the records list
now shows the names of all the assigned tags.
- Allow duplicate files in library is now a full
preference.
- When copying tags to Spotlight comments, EagleFiler now

- Adjusted the word characters used for indexing to make it
easier to find words containing $, @, %, and
_. (This will only take effect after rebuilding the

- 1.2—May 30, 2007
- Made a variety of changes to improve EagleFiler’s speed and
responsiveness, especially for libraries with many files.
- You can now copy from one library to another via drag and
drop. All of the EagleFiler metadata will be preserved.
- The New Library… command now offers the option to create
an encrypted library.
- Highlights search matches in the items list and the record
viewer.
- Each library now has a To Import folder in the Finder.
Any files that you save into this folder will be imported
when you open the library (or within the next minute or two
if the library is already open).
- You can now delete (and undelete) individual e-mail messages.
- Uses the available Spotlight importers to index the content
of many types of files that EagleFiler doesn’t natively
understand.
- Added Match Partial Words option to the search pop-up.
When this is checked, you can search for partial words
without having to type wildcards (*) in the query.

To/Cc, and Title searches, rather than just Anywhere and
Notes searches.
- Can now capture from Skim and Journler (preserving tags).
- When capturing from Cocoalicious, EagleFiler now
preserves the tags and the description and extended
description.
- Added Backup Metadata command. EagleFiler will
automatically backup a library’s metadata when it’s
opened (unless you have Shift held down) and also
periodically after it’s been opened. You can manually backup
the metadata by holding down the Option key and choosing
Backup Metadata from the File menu. Metadata is
backed up to EagleFiler Metadata.plist files inside the
library folder. If you import a file that has backed-up
metadata, EagleFiler will use the stored metadata to set
the title, from name, checksum, source URL, tags, and notes.
- Added Copy tags to Spotlight comments preference.
When this is enabled, you’ll be able to find files in your
library by searching for their tag name using Spotlight.
- If you hold down the Command and Option keys when
opening a library, you can access the new Rebuild
Indexes dialog. This lets you optimize or repair
EagleFiler’s search indexes, and you can choose whether it
indexes for word searches or phrase searches. Previous
versions of EagleFiler always indexed for phrase searches.
Switching to word indexing will speed up EagleFiler’s
indexing and substantially reduce the amount of disk space
that the indexes consume.
- Added Update Checksum command, so that it’s easier to
tell EagleFiler when you’ve modified a file using
another application.
- When importing via AppleScript, you can now specify which
folder to import into, e.g. import files {theFile}
container theFolder.
- It’s now possible to change filenames via AppleScript.
- When using Previous/Next Record with the Info
inspector in front or the tags bar focused, the text
field will retain its focus as the selected record changes,
making it possible to quickly edit multiple
tags/titles/filenames in sequence.
- You can now press Option-Delete when viewing a tag
source to move the selected records to the trash rather
than unassigning the tag.
- Added Esoteric Preferences.
- When exporting messages in .emlx format, now includes
the tags and notes.
- Now shows a determinant progress bar when importing a
folder.
- No longer shows a progress window when opening a library.

- Fixed bug where EagleFiler would sometimes keep files open
after a library had been closed.
- Fixed bug where the Info inspector showed “()” for
the size of a folder.

- 1.1.4—February 16, 2007
- Added Show ‣ Messages in Records Source option. This
makes it possible to view and search everything in the
library by selecting the Records source. Previously, to
search e-mail messages you had to select one or more
mailboxes; you can still do that, if you want to restrict
the search to just those mailboxes.
- The Tags inspector now sorts the assigned tags to the top.
- Added Bigger/Smaller commands for adjusting the text size
for rich text documents and Web archives.
- You can now omit the Shift key when pressing the keyboard
shortcut to zoom in, i.e. Command-= is now equivalent to
Command-+.

- Made various performance improvements, particularly to file
indexing, display in the browser window, and emptying the
trash.

the title of the selected record.
- If a message attachment doesn’t have a name, EagleFiler
will list the content subtype next to the paperclip instead
of omitting that attachment.

mailboxes selected, “Mailboxes” is now the default choice.
- Better error messages when you try to capture a smart

instead of being deleted.
- Fixed error when pressing Enter in the records list.
- Fixed bug where capturing packages from the Finder didn’t
work.

created from a local HTML file.
- Fixed bug where Reveal In Library sometimes looked in the
wrong library.
- Fixed error undoing in the tags fields.

works much better, as EagleFiler now overrides the Cocoa
keyboard loop.

with their displayed records and selected
records.
- Added note file and trashed properties to
library record. Also, various formerly read-only
library record properties are now writable.
- Added container property to tag.
- If you click the + button in the browser window with the
Tags folder or a tag selected, EagleFiler will create a new
tag instead of a new folder.
- EagleFiler is more responsive when emptying the trash, as
the lengthy index updating now takes place in a background
thread. Also, EagleFiler now compacts the search index when
emptying the trash, which should reduce the disk space used
and speed up future searches.

duplicate files during importing. Click the link to allow
duplicate files or to
forbid them.

when importing a folder full of files.
- Fixed regression where EagleFiler could freeze when clicking
an X button in the Activity Viewer.
- If the library changes while you’re in the middle of editing
a table cell or text field, EagleFiler will no longer replace
your in-progress changes with the value from the database, nor
will it mess up the insertion point.
- When following an EagleFiler link, if the specified
library can’t be found, but one with the same name is
already open, EagleFiler will try to use that library to
open the link.
- Made various changes to improve the responsiveness of the
interface.
- Faster file deletions, with better threading, should improve
the performance of all background operations that create
temporary files.
- Fixed crash when logging indexing errors.
- Worked around some framework bugs that could cause a variety
of different crashes.
- The indexer recovers better when a file is unexpectedly
deleted.

closing the Info inspector.
- Text filenames are now allowed to have no text before the
extension, so you can now store and rename “dotfiles” in
EagleFiler.
- It is now possible to edit the extensions of text files.

now open the default library before importing the file rather
than complaining that no library is open.

- When capturing a selection of files from the Finder,
Spotlight comments may now be imported as tags or notes.
- Can now capture from Microsoft Excel.
- The keyboard shortcut for Import Text is now Command-%
instead of Command-<, as the latter conflicted with a
system-wide shortcut when using certain keyboard layouts.

Safari (or, generally, any WebView), EagleFiler will now set
the source URL and add it to the bottom of the text.
- You can now create records by dragging text selections from
within EagleFiler to its source list or records list.
- After you choose Convert For Editing, EagleFiler will
now select the newly created RTFD files rather than leaving
the original Web archives selected.

Trash, since deleting from a tag source doesn’t move to the
trash.
- 1.1—December 6, 2006
- Importing
- EagleFiler will now let you import any kind of document.
If it doesn’t know how to display the document, it will
simply show the file’s icon, which you can click to open
it in another application.
- When importing via drag and drop, you can now drop onto
folders or tags in the source list or into the

data in another way.
- Capture scripts can now import tags and notes.
- Text and Rich Text Files
- It’s now possible to edit text, RTF, and RTFD files
directly in the record viewer. EagleFiler will
automatically save any changes that you make and update
the files’ checksums.
- Creating new rich text files is much smoother. The
keyboard shortcut is now Command-N instead of
Command-Control-N. If the File column is visible,
EagleFiler will bypass the sheet, select the new file in
the records list, and bring the File cell into edit
mode so that you can set the filename and title. You can
then tab into the record viewer to begin typing the
contents of the file.
- You can drag records into the record viewer (or the
notes text view) to create links to them.

the tags field keyboard focus by pressing Command-Shift-T.
- Tag sources now show all the e-mails with that tag
(rather than just the files).
- Tag sources now behave more like iTunes playlists and
iPhoto albums. If you delete a record from a tag source,
EagleFiler unassigns the tag, but the record remains in the
library.
- You can now arrange tags into a hierarchy in the source
list, to organize them or to hide the ones you don’t
want to see at the moment.
- Added New Tag menu command. If records are selected it
changes to New Tag From Selection and the selected
records are assigned the new tag.

- You can now single-click to edit the Title, From, or
File directly, instead of having to open the Inspector
window.
- Added Convert For Editing command, which lets you
convert Web archives to RTFD files that can be edited.
- If you hold down Option when double-clicking a Web
archive (or a RTFD file converted from a Web archive),
EagleFiler opens the current version of the page rather than
the archive.
- EagleFiler now shows custom icons for folders. You can
set a custom icon using the Finder’s Get Info window.
- Added Show ‣ Source List and Show ‣ Record Viewer
commands for people who want to use the menu or keyboard

won’t keep resetting to Zoom to Fit if you’ve zoomed
in.
- Remembers the selected sources between launches.
- Arrow-keying through the records list is faster now.
- Libraries
- Added Remember open libraries between launches
preference and Startup Items folder.

library, opening a library, and opening recent
libraries.
- The Dock menu now shows recent libraries.
- Other Enhancements
- If you ask EagleFiler to import a URL and the URL can’t be
saved as a Web archive (e.g. because it’s an image or PDF),
EagleFiler will download the file and import it as-is,
rather than reporting an error about not being able to save
a Web archive.
- Now imports MailTags projects as tags.
- The Zoom In and Zoom Out commands now work with Web
archives, where they change the font size.

that’s separate from the file name.
- When creating a new rich text file inside a sub-folder,
it’s now revealed there instead of in the Records source.
