DesktopShelves 2.1.4 – Display folders as desktop shelves

DesktopShelves can help clean up a desktop cluttered by dozens of different files. You can display any folder as a shelf on your Desktop. On a shelf the size of 5 normal Desktop items you can fit 20 files, because items on a shelf are slightly rotated like books on a real-world shelf. That saves a lot of screen real estate.

If you mouse-over your shelves, you can see a larger preview of the file. A double-click opens it.
You can use DesktopShelves in many different ways: to organize files by project, quickly access frequently used files, or to collect text snippets and templates.
Other features include:

• Finder integration: open folders as shelves from the Finder context menu
• Shelf contents update automatically when the underlying folder changes (e.g. you add or remove a file in Finder)
• Shelf width can be adjusted and shelves can be placed anywhere on the Desktop
• Drag & drop support: drag files from the Finder on the shelves, drop files from a shelf directly into other applications like Mail.app or TextEdit (dragging with right mouse button inserts the file contents)
