Eagle (Product Update and Blog) – Efficiently organize your files and boost productivity.

Discover How to Organize Your Files with Logic Using Eagle

Are you looking for a way to efficiently manage your files and boost your productivity? Look no further than Eagle, the powerful tool designed to help you organize your digital assets with ease. In this post, we'll explore the best practices for organizing your files using Eagle's intuitive folder and tag system.

1. Categorize by Folder

Before you start organizing your files, take a moment to analyze the types of files you have. Are they illustrations, posters, logos, fonts, UX/UI designs, or something else? Once you've identified the categories, create the corresponding folders. For example, if you have a large collection of illustrations, you can create a main folder labeled "Illustrations" and then further categorize them by:

• Style (e.g., Japanese, Chinese, American)
• Formation (e.g., 3D, 2D)
• Content (e.g., people, landscapes)

2. Batch Create Folders

Eagle makes it easy to batch-create folders without manually adding them one by one. Simply type the folder names elsewhere and copy-paste them under the 'Create Folder' condition. This feature saves you time and effort, especially when dealing with large collections of files.

3. Make the Best Use of Shortcuts

Dragging and dropping images to the target folder is the simplest way to categorize files from one folder to another. If you want to save images in both folders, press Alt and drag; the files will be copied from one folder to another. Additionally, use the hotkey F to display the folder menu, which allows you to select folders and add images with ease. The plus icon in the inspector also helps complete this task efficiently.

4. Customize Folder Icons

To make your folders more distinguishable, customize their icons. Right-click on a folder and select parameters to assign colors and icons. This visual differentiation helps you quickly identify different categories of files.

5. Utilize Tags for Efficient Search

Tags are an excellent way to classify files without the need for continuous sub-folder nesting. For example, if you have an illustration that belongs to both "Poster" and "Party" categories, add tags like "female," "gatsby," "party," and "night." This way, when you're looking for party-related posters, you can easily find the file even if you forget the specific tag name.

6. Fuzzy Phrase Tagging

To ensure you can find files even if you forget the exact tag name, use fuzzy phrase tagging. For instance, mark "UI" as "UI/mobile" and "Apple" as "Apple/iOS." This approach helps you quickly locate relevant files by using common synonyms.

7. Link Between Folder and Label

Eagle's folder and label system are linked, meaning that when you select a folder, only the relevant tags in that folder will appear. This feature helps you find files faster by narrowing down your search based on both folder structure and tags.

By following these tips, you can transform your file management process with Eagle. Whether you're organizing UI design inspirations or managing a large collection of graphics, Eagle's intuitive tools make it easy to keep your digital assets organized and easily accessible.
