XShelf - A temporary storage spot for items in transit
I've tried this software. It's clever sure. But, why not just move the file onto the desktop and then move it again to wherever you want it? It just seems superfluous to me. Somebody tell me when they would really use this as opposed to my idea or why my idea is dumb or something. I'd hate to think I'm missing something obvious by doing the obvious.

only one file copy instead of two?
using desktop as shelf
About the only potential problem with your approach is if the desktop is cluttered and inaccessible. But with OS X even that isn't reallly a problem because you can open up a window of the desktop, and float it to the top of your clutter. Now your shelf can be as big as you want and the background can be decorated as well! Or you could use any other Finder window as a shelf.

So turn off the desktop. I posted a hint a while back with one method, the comments to that hint contained a few variations.

If you move files from one volume to another then it may be copied twice (assuming the copy from, copy to and desktop all reside on different volumes) instead of once using Xshelf. If the files are large it can be time consuming. Using Xshelf the file is not actually copied until it reaches it's destination. |
