XShelf

Unxmaal.com posts about XShelf. I actually saw this a few days ago in an article about OS X freeware and has been meaning to post about it. This program is so damn useful. It's already become one of those programs I can't live without. What does it do?

XShelf enhances drag and drop in MacOS X by letting you "pause" drag and drop operations, as well as have multiple drag and drop operations in flight at once.

You can drag files or folders from Finder into the shelf and they will sit there until you drag them out. Once you drag them out, the drag operation will finish as if XShelf were never involved. You may drag individual or multiple files or folders, as well as text clippings and URLs to XShelf. With XShelf, you no longer have to shuffle windows so that both the source and target of a drag and drop are onscreen at the same time.

In many ways, it is a replacement for the old NeXT shelf (and the Newton shelf, but never having used the Newton, I have to take this on faith :)[XShelf 1.0 for MacOS X]
