Change Filename, Keeping Title
Summary: Lets you make changes to the filenames of the selected records without altering any linked titles.
Requires: EagleFiler
Install Location: ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/EagleFiler/
Last Modified: 2019-10-02
Description
If a record’s title and filename (without the extension) are the same, EagleFiler assumes that you want to keep them linked. When you change the filename, EagleFiler automatically makes the corresponding change to the title. This script lets you change the filename while keeping the title as-is. Afterwards, the filename and title will no longer be linked for that record.
