The attached script adds an "!_annot" tag to each selected pdf file that contains annotations -- whether or not the annotations were embedded.

This is quicker than running the EF unembed and...

v.03 attached


Added code for running w/o Growl.


V. 02


Addressed a garbage collection issue. (Some unused tags were overlooked in older libraries.)

[I ran this by Michael and he agrees this would help]

What would really help is for several of us to tag threads that contain scripts or workflows. Many of these are difficult to find using the...

The scripts discussed above are EF scripts.

Here are two Skim scripts to further simplify (un)embedding of Skim-annotated files.

You can assign <cmd>w to the Skim "embed" script (in say,...

v. 01 attached



Fixed mistaken classification as "unused" of empty parent tag with -multiple- used child tags.
Fixed case sensitivity -- unused tags with different case than a used tag are...

An AS to identify "unused" tags is described here.

The attached AppleScript will identify tags not assigned to any records. I find this handy to identify tags for deletion after moving records between libraries.

The usage notes (below) include a...

Sorry, I should have provided this instead:

Skim has tools that let you do all this -- without opening the files -- in shell.

After unembedding (either with the Applescript above or the...

You can open the file in Skim and use File:Convert Notes to "embed" the Preview notes.

Scripts to convert (aka "embed") and "unembed" notes from multiple files are included in these Skim file...

Here's a workflow for checking pdfs for duplicates (with and without consideration of annotations). I posted this on the Skim forum list and am re-posting here with some additions relevant to EF.

[further updated to v.03 to reflect change of EF "update checksum" command to synchronous for speed improvement]

Attached is a significantly faster set of AppleScripts to convert between pdf...

My initial inclination was for ancestor tags in small font in parentheses, but that is probably a poorer aesthetic than your proposal. (Also, the toggle should have a shortcut. :-))



Yes --...

Sometimes I find myself trying to remember a tag (was it "bash" or was it "scripting" or ?) that clairvoyance doesn't suggest and I can't quickly find in a hierarchical list. But I also want to...

While keeping the present logic, would it make sense to allow the user to toggle the display to show a flat alphabetical list? If so, could the path to each tag be parenthetically indicated to the...

[Update 2: included alternate method for reordering]

Various apps provide online manuals as a set of linked html pages. To reduce clicking for such manuals (or other set of linked pages), one can...

In addition to the official EagleFiler AppleScripts, various other scripts, workflows, etc., have been discussed in this forum.

A call has been put out for volunteers to cull the forum and tag...

Attached is a Unicode version of the script that replaces

->, =>, etc., arrow-like strings with Unicode arrows.
Other illegal characters (including > and < not in arrows) with the corresponding...

Attached are four EF applescripts (tested with OS 10.6) to help the Skim-EF-Dropbox workflow and, more generally, to help make consistent the various formats in which one might have saved Skim pdf...

SpiderOak responded that the same set of filesystem restrictions apply.

Dropbox FAQ:


Metadata and resource forks

Avoid syncing files that use metadata (or resource forks), including Mac aliases or Windows shortcuts. These types of files typically only work on the...

My mistake-- I was using an older version.

Would it be possible to make a similar "filename" companion to the UnscannedExtensions default to make the scan ignore files of certain filenames in the Files folder? I'd like to have EF ignore all...

Great!

As a follow-on, could the pdf-to-pdfd be set to apply the date added of the pdf to the pdfd?

My stab at an answer to my own question:

1) In EF, create an "Applications" library

2) Using Automator, create and run the following workflow to create aliases in the "Applications" library for...
