EagleFiler can import virtually any file on your Mac, as well as Web
pages that are displayed in your browser and e-mail messages that are
displayed in your mail program. EagleFiler has specialized importing and
viewing support for the following types of files:
- AudioNote documents.
- Bean documents.
- Bookmark (.webloc and .url) files and bookmarks dragged from
Safari and OmniWeb.
- Chat transcripts from iChat.
- Dragged text from other applications. In some cases, EagleFiler
will be able to import more information if you drag the text
onto one of its windows rather than its Dock icon. For example,
when dragging text from Safari, EagleFiler will be able to
store URL that goes with the text.
- Folders. EagleFiler imports the contents of the folder (and any
subfolders, preserving the hierarchy).
- HTML files.
- iCalendar (.ics) files.
- Images.
- Keynote presentations. (For best results, set Keynote to Include
preview in document.)
- Mailboxes in mbox format, Apple Mail mailboxes (attachments
included), and Apple Mail archive mailboxes. The Importing Mail
section explains the recommended ways to import mail messages from
each e-mail program.
- Mail messages, stored as .eml files.
- Microsoft Word files.
- Movies.
- Numbers spreadsheets. (For best results, set Numbers to Include
preview in document.)
- OpenDocument Text files.
- Pages documents. (For best results, set Pages to Include
preview in document.)
- PDF files. EagleFiler also understands PDFD bundles created by Skim
and can display and index Skim notes that are attached to PDF or
PDFD files.
- PostScript and EPS files.
- Property list files (XML and binary).
- Rich Text (RTF and RTFD) files.
- RSS mailbox folders from Apple Mail.
- Sounds and music.
- Text files (encoded with ASCII or UTF-8, or with a byte-order-mark)
and text clippings.
- URLs, which will be downloaded and converted to Web archives.
- vCard (.vcf) files from Contacts.
- Web archives.
Documents that aren’t of any of the above types can also be imported
into EagleFiler. EagleFiler can preview their contents using Quick Look,
and it uses Spotlight’s importers to index them for searching. You can
use the Open With External Viewer command to open the documents in
other applications.
When importing files, EagleFiler automatically imports tags from the
Spotlight comments and extended attributes.
