TaggedFrog uses a different approach. The portable software uses tags – a concept known by most users from bookmarking websites, blogs and other Internet related activities – to index and manage files in Windows.

There are two ways to index files with TaggedFrog. The first option is to drag and drop files or folders into the interface. This will open a window with the option to add tags for these files. The same principles applies to shell context menu entries and the add file option in the program itself. The second option is to configure the auto-tagging option. This will automatically monitor folders and tag new files according to the user’s configuration.

TaggedFrog can tag any files that are added by the user. It displays them in a tag cloud and provides search and filter options to quickly find the desired files. Two add-ons are available which will add audio previews and meta information import to the software program. The computer memory usage is a bit high when the software is active (can go up to 70 Megabytes+). TaggedFrog (via Techie Buzz) is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003. It requires the Microsoft .net Framework 2.0 and can be downloaded from the developer’s website.

The file management software Belvedere is a portable software program. The source code is provided as well on the program’s homepage. But what exactly are the features of the file management software?

Belvedere in its current stage can be used to define file management rules on certain folders of the system. The software program is capable of moving, copying, renaming, deleting or opening files that match conditions specified by the user.

Conditions for the name, file extension, size or dates can be configured. It would for instance be no problem to create a rule to move all files with the file extension xyz to another folder. Conditions can be combined so that Belvedere will automatically start the process when any or all of the conditions are met.

Belvedere is running in the background and checking automatically if any files meet the conditions set by the user. If that is the case it will automatically start the action defined by the user. A few things are problematic for now which hopefully will be changed in newer versions. It is for instance not possible to copy or move a file into a new folder if a file of the same name already exists in that folder.

Users working with extensions should also make sure to only add the extension and not the dot. Belvedere comes with a test button that can test the rules before they are added which is a good indicator if the rules have been properly configured.

You can download version .3 of the file management software over at Lifehacker.
