But aha! There’s the rub – they require an investment. With some investment, customers may see their productivity skyrocket. I think the same problems apply to my own FlexTime and FastScripts applications. Even if it’s unarguable that the lifestyle change would be for the better, it’s hard to break the inertia of daily habit. The big problem facing all of these apps, as I see it, is they require lifestyle changes. Something like EagleFiler, or Yojimbo, or VoodooPad, or SOHO Notes should be a lifesaver for me.

I’m inclined to store data in series of plain text files, hierarchically organized in a “Reference” folder in my home directory. I’m relatively organized, but only through the habitual use of old systems that, truth be told, only barely work. There has been renewed interest in organizational and productivity apps lately, and I’m probably smack dab in the middle of the target audience for them. Maybe it’s a good omen, a sign that data carefully stashed in EagleFiler will get along nicely with the IRS come tax time. I suppose if any anthropomorphized animal is going to take control of my filing system, it might as well be the national bird of the United States. I’m not sure what to make of the name, though it does sport an awfully cute icon. Last week he released EagleFiler, and I’m pleasantly surprised to see such a mature 1.0 application drop (swoop?) unannounced from the sky. Together displays the contents.Michael Tsai is the man behind C-Command, and well known for the past few years as the author of SpamSieve and DropDMG, in addition to his tireless work on ATPM. (There may be others.) EagleFiler only displays an icon for OmniOutliner documents. I have encountered one document type where there is a difference. However, only EagleFiler can keep multiple libraries open at the same time.ĭocument previews – EagleFiler and Together display the contents of documents. Multiple libries – Both applications support multiple libraries. This would occasionally be useful, but it’s not a huge deal to me. To my knowledge, EagleFiler does not have this capability. Import by reference – Together has the ability to track files by reference, meaning that it creates a link to imported files, rather than copying them. I don’t understand the details.) Recognizing and importing OpenMeta tags is a deal breaker for me. (Tag-a-Mac recommends only using EagleFiler to manage tags once imported into the library due to some differences in the way EagleFiler interacts with OpenMeta tags. EagleFiler does recognize OpenMeta tags, so imported files retain their tags in EagleFiler. Together does not recognize the OpenMeta tags, so tagged files need to be re-tagged. Both use the OpenMeta standard or methodology. Tag management – I tag my files using Leap, and tag emails using MailTags. I tend to prefer panes, but it’s not a deal breaker either way. These functions are implemented as panes in Together. EagleFiler tends to use panes for things like the inspector, tag cloud, etc. Another difference is the use of palettes vs. These can be defined in EagleFiler, but EagleFiler will not have the pretty icons Together supplies. Together has some default collections (images, sounds, movies, etc.). The user choice may come down to personal taste. Some of the difference is in the design philosophy. Users interface – Some web reviews have mentioned a prettier user interface on Together. Here are some of the differences that I’ve noticed.

The overall functionality is very similar. I’ve compared EagleFiler and Together from time to time. Anyone care to compare the two in terms of speed, stability, features? This would be very helpful.s
