File Buddy CM Plug-in

    There are contextual menus available for use with File Buddy 7 in both Mac OS X and Mac OS 9, but they are not interchangeable.

Mac OS X

    Installation
    If File Buddy does not find its contextual menu plug-in in your Contextual Menu Items folder, it will ask if you wish to install it. If you choose to install it, File Buddy will copy it to the Contextual Menu Items folder. It should be available for use immediately, but if it isn't, log out and log back in to activate it.
    You can use the Install File Buddy Plug-in... item in the File Buddy menu to install it later if you chose to not install the plug-in when asked.
    Using the Plug-in
    Control-click one or more selected items in the Finder to open a contextual menu. File Buddy's contextual menu adds two items to the menu:
    Open in File Buddy
    Open in File Buddy exactly as if the items were dropped on File Buddy's icon.
    File Buddy
    This submenu contains additional actions File Buddy can perform on the selected items.
