Product Description:

File Sheriff 2.0 will have many great features including:
  • A new, easier-to-use user interface making it easier to get things done
  • Files can be selected and edited by dragging and dropping items onto the application and dock icons
  • File Creator and Type codes can be modified more quickly than previous versions
  • New search function allows you to search for files based on their metadata
  • The batch process allows you to search and perform actions on multiple file metadata. They can be saved and quickly retrieved and are stored in an external format to share between users
  • The music renamer allows users to select files via drag and drop
  • The music renamer allows users to configure their own file name based on the music file metadata. Choose from a dozen preconfigured templates or create your own
  • The custom icon creator allows you to select files via drag and drop
  • License codes can be purchased within the application


  • Managing files with the Finder in Mac OS X can only take you so far. File Sheriff is a file utility for Mac OS X that allows you to easily generate icon previews, rename your MP3 files based on their ID3 tags, batch-apply file attributes, edit hidden file options, and more!

    With File Sheriff, set the bundle bit, custom icon setting, visibility, and more of any file or folder!

    So many of us have thousands of MP3s cluttering our hard drives, and rely on iTunes to save us when we need to find one in a flash. However, sometimes filenames for MP3s are either garbled or simply incorrect! File Sheriff can automatically rename your MP3s based on their ID3 tags (what shows in iTunes), so you won't make any mistake which song is which.

    One of the most powerful features File Sheriff offers is its Batch module. Batch operations allow you to choose a folder and apply a set of attributes to all files and/or folders within it. For example, you may wish to hide the entire contents of a folder, or change all of the creation dates. It also includes a Find and Replace feature which finds files or folders with specific attributes and allows you to change them.

    Lastly, File Sheriff also offers an Icon Creator. This allows you to specify a folder of pictures, movies, text files, or other compatible media and have icons automatically created for them. File Sheriff is easy to use!

    File Sheriff ReviewHandy, works well - Version: 1.1.7, 7/18/2008 03:15PM PST

    I have used this utility off and on for a while now.
    It is generally pretty handy to have to look at file details, adjust some values, dates, etc.

    One plus I have noticed, is it lets me edit the create and modify dates on files (these are my own user data files, not system files) which FileXaminer will not (or which filexaminer insists on admin password).

    Plus it has a bunch of other features: mp3 rename, icon create (though rather large resource), disk file browser.

    Especially good value if you buy as part of their utility apps bundle (which I did).
