The buttons at the top of the info window act on the item whose attributes are currently being viewed in the window.
Go to the Finder and reveal the current item in its parent folder.
Open the current item as if it were double-clicked in the Finder.
This is the Open With Application button. Use it to open files (and folders in some cases) in applications other than the one used when the item is opened in the Finder. Mac OS X: This does not set an application which should always be used to open the file. It simply opens the file in the selected application.
Click this button to open a menu containing commands which can be applied to the current item.
Open a Get Info window in Finder for the current item.
Click this button at any time to get aggregate size information for all items for which the window was opened.
This button changes depending on whether or not the current item is an alias:
If the current item is not an alias, the upper button is available. Use it to make an alias of the current item using File Buddy's alias creation window.
If the current item is an alias, the lower button is available. Use it to go to the Finder and find the original item to which the current alias is linked.
Copy the current item.
Move the current item.
Use this menu to mark an attribute as changed. Use this to get File Buddy to apply an existing attribute to other items using the Change All button, or prior to creating a droplet intended to set an attribute which has not been changed in the window.
Choose an item from this menu to copy information to the clipboard as text.
Create a droplet to automate the process of making the current modifications in the info window. This button is only available after one or more changes have been made to the current item's attributes.
Set preferences for the info window.
Move the current item to the trash. +Delete (Backspace) has the same effect.
Open this help to the topic page for the info window.
