Finding Similar Items

    File Buddy makes it easy to find a file similar to another file. Simply set the criteria in the find window to match the existing file or folder by doing any of the following:
    To copy a file or folder's name into the find window, drag the item to the name field.
    To load a file's type, drag the file to the type field.
    To load a file's creator, drag the file to the creator field.
    To load the file's type and creator, drag the file into the find window and drop it between type and creator fields.
    Drag a file or folder to any other place in the find window outside the folder list to load all attributes of the item into the window.
    To load the attributes of an item in the file list window, select the item in the list and click the Find Similar button.
    To load the attributes of an item in the broken aliases window, select the item in the list and click the Find Similar button.
    To load the attributes of any item open the Find menu and choose Find Similar. Then choose the item whose attributes you wish loaded into the window.

    Once the desired attributes have been loaded, check the attributes to be used in the search and click Find.
