EagleFiler 1.5.4 | Mac OSX | 11.8 MB

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

General

Easy to install: just drag and drop a single application file. Theres 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 youre currently viewing.
Supported Web page formats: bookmark, PDF, 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 EagleFilers To Import folder.
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 whatevers easiest for the task at hand.
Automatically detects duplicate files to save disk space and help you see whats 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.
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.
Can display messages as plain text (with colored quote levels and clickable links) or as HTML.

Organization
EagleFiler supports multiple libraries, stored wherever you want (hard disk, iDisk, iPhone, iPod, USB drive, etc.).
You can open more than one library at a time, and more than one window per library.
Files can be organized with folders and tags, both of which can be nested.

Editing
Create a new file with a single button or keypress and immediately begin typing. Theres no need to open a new window or go through a Save dialog box.
Use stationery (a.k.a. templates) to quickly create any type of new file. Stationery can automatically trigger AppleScripts to dynamically fill in the metadata for you.
RTF, text, and OpenDocument files can be edited from within EagleFiler.
For other types of files (e.g. Word, Pages), just double click to open them in your favorite editor. The changes are automatically saved back into the EagleFiler library.

Storage
Your data and notes are stored in regular files using standard formats (RTF, PDF, Web archive, mbox, etc.), so theres no lock in or risk of database corruption, and it plays well with Time Machine.
Uses MD5 checksums to verify the integrity of all files in the library, for safe long term archival.
Metadata (tags, titles, source URLs, etc.) goes into a Core Data SQL database for reliable storage and quick access.
EagleFiler automatically backs up the metadata and notes to XML property list files. In the rare event that the database file becomes damaged, you can import the files into a new library, and EagleFiler will build a new database and reconstruct all the metadata.
Can copy tags into OpenMeta and the Spotlight comments field to make them searchable and accessible to other applications.

Encryption
Libraries can be encrypted with AES 128 or AES 256 for secure, password protected storage.
Encrypted libraries are stored using Apples disk image technology, so their contents are accessible on any Mac, whether or not EagleFiler is installed.
The entire library contents including the metadata, indexes, and temporary files are encrypted. Unencrypted data never touches the disk.
In other respects, an encrypted library works just like a regular one. Its still fully searchable, and the files are still accessible to other applications (once youve entered the passphrase).

Search
EagleFiler uses its own optimized indexes so that you can search the contents of your library faster than with Spotlight.
You can do exact searches across individual fields (title, filename, notes, tags, from, to/cc) as well as searches across the entire file contents.
Searches can use phrases, wildcards, Boolean AND/OR/NOT, and grouping.
Create your own smart folders and organize them into folders. Custom smart folders can contain an unlimited number of criteria, optionally using nested Any/All/None. You can define actions to occur when you drag a record onto a smart folder.
Matching search terms are highlighted in the document contents and in the records list. Use the Find panel to search within a document.
EagleFiler reads most files itself, so it can index text that Spotlight wouldnt see (e.g. Skim notes attached to PDF files). It automatically takes advantage of third party Spotlight importer plug ins to support custom file formats.
Since the files and notes are stored out in the open, theyre also searchable with Spotlight (for when you want to search your entire Mac at once), without the need for stub files in the Caches/Metadata folder.

Metadata
For each file, EagleFiler records the document title, author/from, and source URL.
You can assign tags (a.k.a. keywords). Tags can have abbreviation symbols and colors, and they can be nested. Quickly assign tags by typing (with auto completion), drag and drop, or by clicking on them in the Tag Cloud.
Each file or mail message can have notes, which can include rich text, clickable links, images, and tables.
Each file can have a colored label, which also shows up in the Finder.
You can copy links to EagleFiler records and paste them into notes or RTF files, or into other applications.
When importing via the capture key, EagleFiler can preserve metadata (e.g. tags, notes, titles, URLs) from the source application. This is often higher fidelity than using that applications own export feature.
When importing an existing file, EagleFiler can import tags and notes from the files Spotlight comments.
EagleFiler can display and search Skim notes attached to PDF files.

Requires: Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5, or 10.6.
Works with: Dropbox, Growl, iPhone/iPad, MailTags, OpenMeta, PDFpen OCR, Skim, and more.
