- Press the Command key while dragging items to File Buddy’s icon, and choose the Get Full Info item from the pop-up menu in the Select Action window.
- Open a contextual menu for the selected items in Finder and choose File Buddy Info from Finder’s contextual menu.
- If you have configured a Hot Key to open an Info window, select the desired items and press the appropriate key combination.
- If you created a keyboard shortcut for the File Buddy Info command in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences you can use that shortcut to open a File Buddy Info window for selected items.

As installed, File Buddy opens items dragged to its icon in an Info window and asks for an action when the Command key is pressed while dropping items. If you have changed either of these settings, the first two methods listed above may not work as described.
