File Buddy can attempt to locate a new target for a broken alias when one is encountered during a scan. Items on one or more volumes can be compared to the following information stored in the alias about the original to determine if it is an acceptable match.
The following information about an original is stored in an alias when it is created, and updated whenever the alias is used by the Finder. All checked criteria must match in order for an item to be considered an option for repairing an alias. The options are:
Match the file name or full path, as chosen in the pop-up menu.
Match the creation date.
Match the creator code.
Match the file type.
Use the menu to choose a maximum of 5, 10, 15, or 20 results per alias for new originals.
