EagleFiler

"Organize, search, and archive your mail, Web pages, files, images, PDF files documents"


EagleFiler is a digital filing cabinet, a research assistant, and a snippet collector. You can use it to write a journal, track all the files for a project or job, save your favorite Web articles, store financial statements, run a paperless office, plan a trip, collect your course notes, archive your e-mail correspondence, search mailing list archives, research a purchase, remember recipes to cook or books to read, store scientific papers, gather legal case notes, or assemble a scrapbook. It’s the most flexible tool on your Mac.

The following is a partial list of EagleFiler’s features, so that you can quickly see how it works and how it’s unique:

General
• Easy to install: just drag and drop a single application file. There’s no need to install a database engine, plug-ins, or script files to integrate with your other applications.
• Easy to use, with a familiar three-pane interface—lots of power, without lots of cluttered options.
• Makes efficient use of RAM and disk space.
• AppleScript support, for automation and integration with other applications.

Importing
• Can import any kind of file. EagleFiler has special support for displaying most common formats, and it can use Quick Look to display the others.
• Just press a hotkey while in another application, and EagleFiler will intelligently import the Web page, mailbox, or file that you’re currently viewing.
• Press the Quick entry hotkey to create a new file in EagleFiler from any application.
• Store Web pages in the following formats: bookmark, PDF, PDF (single page), plain text, rich text, rich text with images, Web archive.
• Import from any application by printing and choosing Save PDF to EagleFiler or by saving a file into EagleFiler’s To Import folder or directly into the library’s folder structure.
• Move or save new files directly into the library folder, and EagleFiler will auto-import them when it does a Scan for New Files.
• Import Web pages using bookmarklets.
• Automatically import scans by setting your scanner software (Fujitsu ScanSnap recommended) to save its files in the To Import folder.
• There are many other ways to import (e.g. drag and drop, services) so you can choose whatever’s easiest for the task at hand. Hold down the Option key when importing, and you can choose where to save the file and add tags, notes, and other metadata.
• Automatically detects duplicate files to save disk space and help you see what’s already been imported.

Mail
• First-class support for archiving e-mail. EagleFiler understands the content of messages and treats them as mail rather than as text or RTF files.
• Import the selected mailboxes or messages simply by pressing a hotkey in Apple Mail, Entourage, Mailsmith, Outlook, or PowerMail.
• EagleFiler retains the full message data, including attachments, read/flagged/replied status, and MailTags, so nothing is lost when moving mail into EagleFiler.
• Speed up your mail program by moving older messages to EagleFiler.
• Messages are efficiently stored using the standard “mbox” format and can be imported back into any mail program if desired.
• You can also store messages as individual .eml files, for Spotlight searchability, and you can freely convert between the .eml and mbox formats.
• Can display messages as plain text (with colored quote levels and clickable links) or as HTML.
• Extract and convert your e-mail from Microsoft Outlook (or another proprietary mail client format) into standard mbox or .eml files.
