Path Tools is a simple tool that lets you quickly extract and copy file names, folders, and paths directly from your Eagle library. It simplifies referencing assets and exporting path lists for use in projects, scripts, or external tools.

Key Features

• Smart Auto Source – Automatically detects whether to read from the active folder or selected items, adapting to your current context with no manual switching needed
• Three Source Modes – Choose between Auto, Folder, and Items to control exactly which assets are targeted
• Copy Names – Extract just the file name (with or without extension) for all matched items
• Copy URL – Extracts and copies source URLs from items for quick access to the original sources
• Copy Relative Paths – Copy paths relative to the Eagle library root, ideal for project-relative references
• Copy Absolute Paths – Copy full system paths for use in scripts, terminals, or external tools
• Copy Relative Folders – Extract the relative folder path of each item, useful for directory-level references
• Copy Absolute Folders – Get the full absolute folder path for each item
• Copy Files – Copies the selected files to the system clipboard so they can be pasted into another location in the file explorer or compatible applications
• Refresh Thumbnails– Regenerates Eagle thumbnails for selected items to refresh outdated or corrupted previews
• Save to File – Every action includes a companion save button to export the path list directly to a file in .txt, .csv, or .json format
• Extension Filters – Include or exclude files by extension using a tag-based filter UI, so you only capture exactly the file types you need
• Include Subfolders – Toggle subfolder traversal to narrow or widen the scope of captured paths
• With/Without Extension – Choose whether file names include their extension when copied
• Draggable Action Order – Rearrange copy actions via drag-and-drop to match your personal workflow
• Auto-Refresh – Automatically reloads when your Eagle selection or folder changes
• Keep on Top – Pin the plugin window above other applications for quick repeated access
• Theme Matching Eagle – Adapts to Eagle's selected theme (Dark, Gray, Blue, Purple, Light, Light Gray) for comfortable use
• Multi-language Support – Available in 13 languages
