Publisher's Description
From SkyTag Software, Inc.:
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:
- Find history strings were missing for no creation, modified, or accessed date. Fixed.
- File Buddy's contextual menu was not adding any items when using the German localization. Fixed.
- The Replace Regexp option in the Rename window had a bug that could cause a crash or incorrect results in some cases. Fixed.
- The code that validates serial numbers had a bug in it that would prevent it from accepting serial numbers if the name contained non-ASCII characters. Fixed.... See all new features

"The only comprehensive file utility for Mac out there."
Version: File Buddy 9.0.2
Pros
Very feature rich.
Cons

Would be the only file management tool worth having if it was still supported.
-
"no longer supported"
Version: File Buddy 9.0.2
Pros
v. powerful
Cons
author had too many irons in the fire and I guess the bad economy knocked out his support of FB.
Summary
I'm back, hunting for a replacement.
I'm sad to give up this great program, but bugs are driving me bugs -
"Snow Leopard Problems Too..."
Version: File Buddy 9.0.2
Pros
Convenient, Reliable, Time Saving - Performs Essential Daily Tasks
Cons
None - Except that it has lost functionality with the recent Snow Leopard security upgrade (can not use Administrator Access Mode and doesn't retain my serial number).
Summary
I have relied on File Buddy since it's inception for the daily tasks of manipulating files - changing type & creator, renaming, searching, etc, etc. It is always open on my Mac and is peerless for these important tasks. I couldn't begin to say how many thousands of broken files it has quickly and conveniently fixed for me over the years, saving me countless hours of work. PLEASE don't say that development has stopped. What would I do without it?

"A recent upgrade of Snow Leopard makes this utility ???"
Version: File Buddy 9.0.2
Pros
Up until the latest security updates for Snow Leopard, File Buddy has been totally reliable.
Cons
With the latest security updates for Snow Leopard, I can't assign File Buddy as a Start Up item. Once booted I can start up File Buddy and it works. This may be related to the fact that FB semi-frequently asks for my registration number.
Summary
This utility is still useful; however, it is painfully obvious that it is no longer being supported, i.e., upgraded with changes in Apple System software.
