EagleFiler 1.9.17

EagleFiler has been updated to version 1.9.17. This is a free update. Normally, EagleFiler will automatically offer to update you to the new version. There are also instructions for updating on this page. EagleFiler 1.9.17 is compatible with macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) through macOS 15 (Sequoia) and is recommended for all customers using those versions of macOS. Older versions are also available for macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and earlier.

The changes in this version are:

  • Pressing the capture key in the Orion Web browser now supports the same features as other browsers: importing from X/Twitter and capturing the selected text as notes.
  • The current library (for capture key purposes) now updates when you minimize a window to the Dock.
  • The Fonts panel now shows more sizes of the system font.
  • When you open the Fonts panel, EagleFiler now ensures that it’s moved to the active space so that it doesn’t look like nothing happened.
  • The Unread and Flagged columns in the records list work better with larger font sizes.
  • If you are trying to create a new tag whose name matches the start of another tag’s name but has different case, the auto-completion now keeps the case as you entered it.
  • Updated the following sections of the manual:
  • Capturing from Safari no longer fails with an error if JavaScript is turned off.
  • Worked around a macOS bug that could cause a crash when displaying the source URL for an e-mail message.
  • EagleFiler no longer reports spurious errors when viewing a symlink stored in iCloud.
  • Fixed a bug where phrase searches containing ^ might not find anything.
  • Fixed a bug where closing or minimizing a library window could unminimize another library.
  • Tried to work around a macOS bug that could cause it to incorrectly report the EagleFiler application file as damaged.
  • Made some changes to prevent EagleFiler from triggering local network privacy prompts.
  • When you click an esoteric preferences link to enable or disable debug logging, the change now takes effect immediately, without having to restart EagleFiler.
  • Diagnostic report files are much smaller, as they no longer include excerpts from the verbose system console log, only from EagleFiler’s own log files.

Do we still need Rosetta to run Eaglefiler on a M1 and upwards (Silicon)?
If so, is the betaversion still Intel or is it Universal (without Rosetta)?

EagleFiler 1.9.17 and the 1.9.18 beta that will be coming soon require Rosetta.

Ok thanks. Apple mentioned Rosetta will be dropped in MacOS 28, so I guess there will be a Silicon beta before that? (Autumn 2027)

Yes, I would expect the Universal version to be shipping long before that.
