File Buddy overview
File Buddy is the Swiss Army knife of Mac file utilities. First released in 1993, File Buddy features a wealth of functionality and powerful features that allow you to access that functionality quickly and easily. In addition to File Buddy's normal functionality it adds several commands to Finder's Services and contextual menus and allows the creation of droplet applications to automate tasks that would otherwise require you to open some window and configure the changes each time before applying them.File Buddy isn't just a powerful tool, it's a powerful tool designed to put that power at your fingertips as much as possible.
Copies of File Buddy 9 purchased on or after January 1, 2012 qualify for a free upgrade to File Buddy 10. Further information can be found on the upgrades page.
What's new in version 10.0.3
Version 10.0.3:
- File Buddy would report a -1426 error (operation not supported) when attempting to some non-Mac volumes, such as thumb drives. This was the result of Mac OS X not implementing support for those volume formats for the function File Buddy uses to search volumes. File Buddy now uses a different mechanism to search those volumes.
- The Group Info window was not expanding to the correct size in Mac OS X 10.9. Fixed.
- File Buddy would treat Regexp searches as normal searches if the only special character in the search string was a backlash. Fixed.

Does anyone here know what happened to David Harris, the owner of Skytag Software and developer of the excellent utility, File Buddy? He and I were last in email communication in April 2021, at the height of COVID-19. Since then it’s been dead silence. I have been concerned for him since then. I continue to use the last release of File Buddy, which is version 11 alpha 14. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

Just download it and open it on macOS 12.5, and it works ! (only to change the creation date for a file for now!)

Apple indicates that the file is not compatible with the latest OS. White circle with a diagonal line over the downloaded file. We'll have to wait for version 11 I guess.

Love File Buddy and have been a long time user, but having trouble grabbing the latest alpha from the Skytag web site. I don't know what the issue is as other downloads from the sites work fine, so it doesn't look to be on my end. I am looking forward to the release of v11!
