You may know EagleFiler, or you may not know that products. So, here are 5 things to know about EagleFiler after the break.
- EagleFiler uses normal MacOSX directories to organize your files. This means that you can easily work with you files from the directories. That means that your files are never held up inside a proprietary file. It also means that most back up or syncing systems will work to help you back up your valuable files database.
- EagleFiler can search inside most files. The indexing that EagleFiler uses to help find your files via search quickly also looks inside the files. this means that you can find the files that not only have certain words or phrases in the title and file name, but also within the files themselves. This will help you to find those files that you need for that report faster.
- EagleFiler allows you to tag all the files in your library. This gives you a second way to organize files. The first way to organize files is to place them in directories, but by tagging the files you can organize your information using different patterns. Now you can see your data in a different light.
- EagleFiler allows you to setup Stationery files. the main purpose of stationery files it to give you a central place from which to work. With the open EagleFiler menu you can create files even files of other programs. This cuts down on the many forgot to save you file to the to import folder errors. Create a Scrivener file from inside EagleFiler and even have it saved inside the open library window. There’s a lot more to do with Stationery Files, but I have run out of space.

- EagleFiler, in it’s live search box, allows you to limit what you are searching on. The live search box is the text box with a magnifying glass int he top right corner of the library window. There is a drop down list here. When you drop down the list you see a bunch of field names like Title, tags, and anywhere. This is a filter on what to search. I completely missed this for most of last year. Now I have found it, and it is making my searches even more powerful.
