EagleFiler can import virtually any file on your Mac, as well as Web pages that are displayed in your browser (see Importing Web Pages and URLs) and e-mail messages that are displayed in your mail program (see Importing Mail). EagleFiler has specialized importing and viewing support for the following types of files:
Adobe Illustrator documents.
AudioNote documents.
Bean documents.
Bookmark (.webloc and .url) files and bookmarks dragged from Safari and OmniWeb.
Chat transcripts from Messages and iChat (see Importing iMessages).
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.
ENEX files exported from Evernote.
Folders. EagleFiler imports the contents of the folder (and any subfolders, preserving the hierarchy).
HTML files.
iCalendar (.ics) files.
Images (including animated GIFs).
Keynote presentations.
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 (.docx and .doc).
Movies.
Numbers spreadsheets.
OpenDocument Text files.
Pages documents.
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. EagleFiler looks at a file’s contents to determine whether it looks like a text file and also excludes certain files based on their extension. You can use Terminal to force certain file types to never be treated as text files, for example:
defaults write com.c-command.EagleFiler NonTextExtensions -array oo3 skp t2d
This change will take effect for future imports or if you rebuild the library.
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.
