Broken Aliases Window Toolbar

    The buttons in the broken aliases window act on items in the list of broken aliases and the list of suggested targets only. None of them can be used on items in the list labeled Path to Original.
    Some of the buttons are only available to act on selected items in the list of broken aliases. When the selections in the window are not appropriate for a button, it is dimmed.

The Buttons

    Go to the Finder and show the selected list items in their parent folders.
    Open the selected items in File Buddy's info window.
    Open a file selection dialog and select a new original.
    Fixed aliases which have had a new original selected for them.
    Search local disks for items which would be good candidates to replace the missing original.
    Open the Find window and load attributes for the missing original item to simplify searching for similar items. Only available if exactly one item is selected.
    Remove aliases whose missing originals reside on disks that are not available.
    Move the current item to the trash. +Delete (Backspace) has the same effect.
    Fix the selected aliases by reconnecting them to the item selected in the Suggested Targets list at the bottom of the window.
    Open this online help to the topic page for the broken aliases window.
