Replace In Files 2012.234 for OS X 17 December 2012

Information This product has been retired. This is therefore the final release.

Information This version is a free upgrade for all our existing RIF customers. If you are using the non-Mac App Store version of RIF and support has expired on your serial number, please contact us with your serial number for a free replacement.

This release fixes a single bug. It is recommended for all users. Note that the OS X Supplemental Update is required for correct operation on both OS X 10.8.2 and OS X 10.7.5, so please ensure your system is fully up-to-date before installing this release.

System requirements

This release is tested and supported on the following platforms:

Information Replace In Files has not been tested on newer versions of macOS. Bugs and incompatibilities are therefore likely.

Defects fixed

  • Due to limitations with the OS X security sandbox, backups are no longer made when modifying files added individually to the Choose files and folders to search table. In the previous release, the attempt to make such backups failed with an error. Backups continue to be made (if the appropriate preference is enabled) when modifying files found under folders added to the Choose files and folders to search table.
