• Added Backup Metadata command. EagleFiler will automatically backup a libary’s metadata when it’s opened (unless you have Shift held down) and also periodically after it’s been opened. You can manually backup the metadata by holding down the Option key and choosing Backup Metadata from the File menu. Metadata is backed up to EagleFiler Metadata.plist files inside the library folder. If you import a file that has backed-up medatadata, EagleFiler will use the stored metadata to set the title, from name, checksum, source URL, tags, and notes.
• Added Copy Tags to Spotlight Comments preference. When this is enabled, you’ll be able to find files in your library by searching for their tag name using Spotlight.
• If you hold down the Command and Option keys when opening a library, you can access the new Rebuild Indexes dialog. This lets you optimize or repair EagleFiler’s search indexes, and you can choose whether it indexes for word searches or phrase searches. Previous versions of EagleFiler always indexed for phrase searches. Switching to word indexing will speed up EagleFiler’s indexing and substantially reduce the amount of disk space that the indexes consume.

• When importing via AppleScript, you can now specify which folder to import into, e.g. import files {theFile} container theFolder.
• It’s now possible to change filenames via AppleScript.
• When using Previous/Next Record with the Info inspector in front or the tags bar focused, the text field will retain its focus as the selected record changes, making it possible to quickly edit multiple tags/titles/filenames in sequence.
• You can now press Option-Delete when viewing a tag source to move the selected records to the trash rather than unassigning the tag.
• Added Esoteric Preferences.

Importing

* EagleFiler will now let you import any kind of document.
If it doesn't know how to display the document, it will
simply show the file's icon, which you can click to open
it in another application.

* When importing via drag and drop, you can now drop onto
folders or tags in the source list or into the records
list in order to put the imported records into that
folder or assign them that tag.

* Now recognizes many more kinds of text files and text
clippings.

* Can now import individual messages from Entourage via
drag and drop.

* Added Command- EagleFiler**.

* Added Import Clipboard command to the Dock menu.

* It is now possible to specify tag names and note text
when importing via AppleScript.

Capture

* Can now capture IMAP mailboxes and individual selected
messages from Apple Mail.

* Can now capture from Endo, Firefox, and WebnoteHappy.

* If you press the capture key when there is no library
open or while in an unsupported application, EagleFiler
will now try to help you open a library or import the
data in another way.

* Capture scripts can now import tags and notes.

Text and Rich Text Files

* It's now possible to edit text, RTF, and RTFD files
directly in the record viewer. EagleFiler will
automatically save any changes that you make and update
the files' checksums.

* Creating new rich text files is much smoother. The
keyboard shortcut is now Command-N instead of
Command-Control-N. If the File column is visible,
EagleFiler will bypass the sheet, select the new file in
the records list, and bring the File cell into edit
mode so that you can set the filename and title. You can
then tab into the record viewer to begin typing the
contents of the file.

* You can drag
