Comments and Reviews
Has some great basic functions like moving and deleting files as well as managing your recycle bin. I'd like to see some new features like, searching the contents of documents and allowing me to leave documents in their current location, but creating a shortcut somewhere else.
I've noticed the program crashes quite a bit, but nothing restarting the program doesn't usually fix.
Very old. Not working well on Windows 10: stuck with a "ERRO" folder to watch and can't add new ones.
This is a handy program, but contains lots of bugs and isn't updated anymore. Good alternatives (that do the same things) are Hygeia (Windows) and Hazel (Mac).
I've used Belvedere like crazy for a long time and could not recommend it to people. So many bugs....I mean so many. It's kinda nuts how many issues the program has and it almost never works how it is supposed to.
I really wish there were more windows alternatives.
Wish it would move the whole folder, but this is just for files.
Great tool with nice and easy options.
There are two common errors (with an easy solution):
If you see an error saying "Subject does not have a match" or your settings can't be saved then open Belvedere with administrator privileges and those problems might be solved.
These problems might appear in Windows 8.
Unfortunately it doesn't fix the first problem with my laptop.
Belvedere would be perfect, if it could distinguish file-size and folder-size for deletion of backup-files I make backups with Macrium Reflect Free Edition (1), which cannot cleanup the backup files automatically. So I used DelAge32 (2) for this purpose. DelAge32 can only delete files older than xx days. But I would prefer to delete backup-files older than xx days, only if the backup-folder has a size greater than xxx GB. I hoped, that Belvedere can afford this, but unfortunately it does not. You can only delete files with age older than xxx days or weeks and with FILE-SIZE greater than xxx MB. You cannot specify a FOLDER-SIZE-limit of the folder, in which the backup-files are stored.
