Requires: EagleFiler
Install Location: ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/EagleFiler/

Description
For each selected record, this script copies the EagleFiler note into the file’s Spotlight comments field, which is viewable in the Finder’s Get Info window. Note that, unlike EagleFiler notes, Spotlight comments are plain text and can only hold a limited number of characters. Thus, the copy may be lossy.
