Dropshelf

Dropshelf makes dragging and dropping easier, by providing a resting place for draggable items. Just drag an item to any edge of the screen, and Dropshelf slides out. Keep files, images, URLs and text clippings handy until you are ready to drag them out to other apps.

What is new in this release:

Dropshelf is now fully compatible with with OS X 10.11 El Capitan.

What is new in version 1.2:

User interface improvements:

- File name display: The file name (or other description of the contents) is now shown in the menu button on the shelf.
- Color schemes: Choose from subtle gray and calming blue themes, as well as the default yellow and black.
- Screen edge exclusion: Added a preferences option to choose which sides of the screen will trigger a shelf.

New commands in the main menu:

- Added "New Shelf" command to the main menu, which creates a new empty shelf.
