File Buddy
10.0.3File management utility.
Overview
File Buddy is the Swiss Army knife of Mac file utilities. First released in 1993, File Buddy features a wealth of functionality and powerful features that allow you to access that functionality quickly and easily. In addition to File Buddy's normal functionality it adds several commands to Finder's Services and contextual menus and allows the creation of droplet applications to automate tasks that would otherwise require you to open some window and configure the changes each time before applying them.File Buddy isn't just a powerful tool, it's a powerful tool designed to put that power at your fingertips as much as possible.
Copies of File Buddy 9 purchased on or after January 1, 2012 qualify for a free upgrade to File Buddy 10. Further information can be found on the upgrades page.
What's new in File Buddy
- File Buddy would report a -1426 error (operation not supported) when attempting to some non-Mac volumes, such as thumb drives. This was the result of Mac OS X not implementing support for those volume formats for the function File Buddy uses to search volumes. File Buddy now uses a different mechanism to search those volumes.
- The Group Info window was not expanding to the correct size in Mac OS X 10.9. Fixed.
- File Buddy would treat Regexp searches as normal searches if the only special character in the search string was a backlash. Fixed.

"There was a bug in the original serial number generation/validation algorithm. It caused certain serials to be generated that were invalid. Invalid serials are only rejected when a user upgrades to 10.0.3." Thank you, David!
So those of you who might have had the same problem, contact the developer for a replacement serial number. This app is terrific and I use it frequently.
There is no information in the version history at http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy/en/10/history.html. None of the three possible reasons given on http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy/en/support/serials.html apply to this problem for the app thinking the serial number isn't valid since my serial number is valid for version 10.0.2 but it is lost for version 10.0.3. I tried writing to the developer and got no response. I had to reinstall version 10.0.2.
