Product Description:

View and edit a wide range of file and folder information. Create droplet applications that automatically apply changes to items dropped on them, including the contents of folders. Find files and folders using an extensive set of search criteria. Enhance file searches with plug-ins that extend file search capabilities. Conveniently perform a wide variety of actions on found items. Make File Buddy your default file finding application using the File Buddy CP control panel. Modify the names of multiple files at once. For example, remove ".txt" from the names of a group of files. Use contextual menus to accomplish many tasks in a single step. Contextual menus are supported on all versions of the Macintosh operating systems.

What's new in this version:

The label menu was not available in the List window�?¢â?¬â?¢s contextual menu for the Label column. Fixed.
Cursor would not change over list headings in the List window to denote when a heading can be dragged off or resized. Fixed.
When using any of the renaming windows to rename files only, File Buddy would not rename bundled documents because even though they appear to be files when viewed in the Finder, they are considered folders by the file system. While not a bug, this would occasionally confuse users who didn�?¢â?¬â?¢t understand why File Buddy wouldn�?¢â?¬â?¢t rename a document. File Buddy will now treat bundled documents as files when determining if an item should be renamed.
File Buddy would ask you confirm if you wanted to move items to the Trash even when the number of items to be moved was less than the minimum to invoke this warning. Fixed.
Removed the message reporting the number of icons created from images if all were created successfully.

Unable to register - Version: 9.0.1, 4/19/2009 09:16PM PST

Unable to get an updated registration number (for new computer) for V9.
EMails returned as undeliverable.
I assume developer has gone, and an excellent program is now unsupported. I have used V7.5 for some years.

File Buddy Find window - Version: 9.0.1, 4/6/2009 07:06AM PST

I have found File Buddy very helpful in various situations; it seems like the features are unlimited.

One thing that would be very helpful, (maybe I have not found this feature yet) would be that the various criterias in the Find window be repeatable like the Finder search window. The problem with the Finder search window is that it lacks the "not contain" option that File Buddy has.

AWOL - Version: 9.0.1, 3/22/2009 07:39AM PST

Too pricey (should be about $25) and now AWOL.

What was the premiere file handling utility has committed Hari-Kari.

What a pity.

Mac users still need a simpler find function and a tool for manipulating file metadata. Running about four different utilities to do this instead.

Thanks for the memories though.
