Making File Buddy Your Default Get Info

    Mac OS X only
    There are two info window-related hot keys: One to open all items currently selected in the Finder in a single File Buddy info window; and another to open each selected item in its own File Buddy info window. To define key either hot key:
    1 Open the Preferences window.
    2 Click the Hot Keys tab.
    3 Choose the desired hot key from the pop-up at the top of the panel if not already selected.
    4 Configure the hot key.
    5 When finished configuring hot keys, click Save.

    Mac OS 9 only
    To define a hot key that will open selected items in the Finder directly into File Buddy's info window:
    1 Open the File Buddy CP control panel.
    2 Use the bottom Define Hot Key... button to define a key combination that will launch File Buddy and open items selected in the Finder in File Buddy's info window.
    3 Close the control panel.
    Note: This feature will not work if the selected items are in a pop-up folder, as the folder is closed before File Buddy has a chance to find out what the selection was.

    You do not need to restart your computer to put the change in effect. The change is effective immediately.
