# Eagle's own sentence, the meta description on https://en.eagle.cool.

# Eagle's brand mark.

icon = "SimpleIcons:eagle"

# The id keeps the vendor prefix because "eagle" is already the name of an

# unrelated product — Autodesk EAGLE, the PCB tool, which is what

# `brew install --cask eagle` fetches. This entry is Eagle by ogdesign.

# Eagle has no command line, so `detect` carries the bundle identifier.

# Verified on a Mac with Eagle installed:

# osascript -e 'id of app "Eagle"' → tw.ogdesign.eagle

# and ~/Library/Preferences/tw.ogdesign.eagle.plist exists under that name.

detect = ["tw.ogdesign.eagle"]

platforms = ["macos", "windows"]

# Eagle is an Electron app: ~/Library/Application Support/Eagle on this machine

# holds the Chromium artefacts an Electron userData directory always has

# (Code Cache, GPUCache, IndexedDB, blob_storage, Local Storage) beside a

# "Preferences" file whose content is `{"electron":{"media":{…}},"spellcheck":…}`.

# Electron's app.getPath('userData') is documented as the app's name appended to

# `appData`, which is ~/Library/Application Support on macOS and %APPDATA% on

# Windows — the [appData] base directory. Eagle ships no Linux build, hence the

# two platforms.

# Within that directory the user's own settings are the single "Settings" file,

# read on this machine: JSON, holding `preferences.general` (zoom, language,

# dock and sidebar behaviour), `preferences.habits` (double-click, scroll,

# render and GIF behaviour) and `preferences.shortcuts.keybinds`, the full

# keyboard map. Nothing else in the directory is user configuration, so the

# file is named rather than the folder — which also keeps the Chromium caches,

# the cookie jar and Eagle's own eagle-temp/library-caches out without needing

# a carve-out.

# No credential in the Settings file. Eagle's account sign-in is held in the

# Electron cookie jar next to it, which is deliberately not listed above.

# libraryHistory is the list of Eagle libraries opened on this machine, stored

# as absolute paths ("/Users/<name>/Pictures/<name>.library/"), and libraryDirs

# is the same shape for the directories it scans. Both name this disk's layout;

# every other key in the file is a preference the user set.

# The file has no extension, so `format` says which parser reads it.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/ogdesign-eagle. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page. None of them splits libraryHistory and libraryDirs for you — that part is Otty’s own sync, or a template you write by hand.
