Testing the app on trial 30 days right now, and I can't stop admiring how well designed it is: with such attention to details, rich functionality, and very user-friendly and minimalistic UI. Definitely going to purchase it. Good luck to developers, pls keep up! 👍

A resize tool to reduce your images or even though an option to resize automatically the imported images to a desired set size would be great.

Storing the collected images into one single file is a bad idea. Imagine huge psd files which is part of project directory, it doesn't make sense to move it from the original folder. Connecter 5 is super-fast and can handle your files whatever they are. Also, the chance to get the file corrupted is big, so give us the option to manage the files on location.

It looks really useful. I got the license, gonna try it out.

looks amazing! can't wait to get rid of Adobe Bridge and use this instead :3

There is any way to create a library without duplicate two times all my images? Now my Onedrive is just crazy. And me too!

[paulatreides]

so i tried the demo ..to use the software you have to create a library ..then you import your images into it, fine ..but the thing is that it creates an eagle library file ( folders ) where it duplicate the image you imported as a back up and so if you import 2 go of images ..the backup files will be 2go as well ..so it takes space for nothing ..i mean why ?

Duplicating files is a big NO to me, purchased it without knowing that so i immediately asked for a refund, IF and WHEN the devs have an option to refer to a folder instead of duplication then i will re consider to buy the product then.

I bout the license, i really like Eagle.cool!

Hi! I always wanted a piece of software like your eagle, but the fact that importing content = duplicating content is an absolute showstopper for me :-( Even the clunky Lightroom has the ability to work with references to files. Your centralized approach is fine as, but only as an option and/or for your database, not the files. So please consider working with references to files as an option and I buy your software right away - I could cry...

[Ricardo-deju]

Hey there! Images are saved inside the catalog file? So we're getting a duplicate on our computer?

I have a question, how can I rename a library name

[TaoCovillault]

What is never explained through out the whole tutorial, is that the files are actually copied inside the library...
Meaning Eagle is making a copy of all files AND assets in the library will not be updated in real time then.

I am a videographer, and despite it's original purpose of Graphic Design, I was hoping to be able to use Eagle to manage my video assets accros multiple projects and libraries at the same time and to make it searchable.
I got the trial version curious to see how Eagle handle offline files, but it simply doesn't...

In order to manage my video assets, I would have to import and copy over 60To of video files. Simply not usable :/

Not saying it's a bad program, but it's definitely not the tool I am looking for.

Its great but media files should be easily opened and previewed from other professional media applications. If you add files to eagle. you will only be able to use them from Eagle. If i open photoshop or Ableton, or Davinci then i also need to be able to preview those files. That is a crucial issue what shows the difference between a clever collection tool vs a useful asset management system. eagle could be a professional MAM if they chose to be one. Because its a miracle this app is even made. 😃

Drag and drop is doing nothing for me. The pictures do NOT show up at all! Also, some folders imported don't show their images. Its all PNGs and JPGs here. I'm not impressed at all thus far. Now I see that you duplicate all my photos into folders. I know how to organize photos just fine. This software is usless, and that is putting it nicely.
