Title to Filename

Summary: Sets the filename of each selected record to its title.
Requires: EagleFiler
Install Location: ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/EagleFiler/

Description

Suppose that you’ve added a descriptive title to a record and you want to change the filename to match. This script sets the filename to the title; it then makes the title blank, so that it will be linked to the filename—when you rename the file, the title will update.

Running the Script
