Dropshelf Changelog

What's new in Dropshelf 1.3.3

May 21, 2018
  • High Sierra ahoy! This update makes Dropshelf ready to roll on macOS 10.13.

New in Dropshelf 1.3.2 (Nov 26, 2016)

  • Fixed Sierra bug where all shelves would duplicate every time you turn Dropshelf off & on again.
  • Text clippings dragged from Microsoft Word now drop as text clippings, instead of being erroneously converted to PDF files.

New in Dropshelf 1.3.1 (Sep 15, 2016)

  • Updated for compatibility with macOS Sierra.
  • Shelves now adjust their layout when adding or removing monitors, or moving the dock.

New in Dropshelf 1.3 (Oct 5, 2015)

  • Now fully compatible with with OS X 10.11 El Capitan.
  • Also been working on the mechanism for triggering a shelf at the edge of the screen. Based on feedback I've been getting, some of you were having trouble reliably triggering a new shelf, especially new users. So I have added a little "target zone" which fades in to give you something to drag to. It should be easier to use and more intuitive. Let me know what you think.
  • There's a refreshed look; everything a bit cleaner and brighter. And the slide animation is more zippy.
  • Also fixed dragging photos from the Photos app.

New in Dropshelf 1.2.2 (Nov 5, 2014)

  • Updated for OS X Yosemite, plus a couple of small tweaks and fixes.

New in Dropshelf 1.2.1 (Jun 4, 2014)

  • Fixed bug which prevented using "Open With" in Finder to send files to Dropshelf.

New in Dropshelf 1.2 (May 23, 2014)

  • New user interface features:
  • Minimizable shelves: Inactive shelves now automatically slide out of view until needed.
  • 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.
  • Also added “New Shelf from Clipboard”, which pastes the current clipboard contents into a new shelf.
  • Added “Reopen Last Shelf”, which reopens the most recently closed shelf.
  • Integration with other apps:
  • Dropshelf now has an OS X Services menu item: "Send to Dropshelf”, which works with both files and text.
  • Dropshelf now appears in the "Open With" menu in Finder.
  • You can add Dropshelf as a printing workflow target, and as an output target in apps such as Hazel.
  • Added a URL scheme for creating new shelves.
  • URLs:
  • URLs on a shelf are now treated as their own special type, with a custom thumbnail showing the address.
  • Added "Open" command for URLs.
  • Text files and clippings:
  • You can now convert a text clipping to a file, right there on the shelf.
  • Conversely, you can drag a text file onto the shelf and load its contents as a text clipping.
  • More data types:
  • Colors: You can now drag colours from a colour picker into and out of Dropshelf.
  • .textClipping files dropped into Dropshelf automatically turn into text clippings.
  • .webloc files dropped into Dropshelf are treated as URLs.
  • Other improvements:
  • Improved dragging detection makes it easier to trigger a new shelf.
  • When a file or a URL is on the shelf, you can now double click it to open it.
  • Added a “Paste” command to the shelf context menu.
  • Speed and responsiveness improvements.

New in Dropshelf 1.1.1 (Nov 26, 2013)

  • Fixed a bug that was affecting Macs with a discrete GPU (Dropshelf was activating the discrete GPU and causing high energy usage.)

New in Dropshelf 1.1 (Nov 15, 2013)

  • Fully compatible with OS X Mavericks. (Fixed the crash when dragging a file from Dropshelf into Finder.)
  • New: Added a dedicated Close button (‘X’) on each shelf.
  • New: Added an “Open" menu item for files stored in Dropshelf.
  • New: Now you can move a shelf to a different part of the screen. (Just drag the items to the new place.)
  • Changed: Removed the option to Pin a shelf. Instead, there is a global setting in Preferences to choose whether shelves automatically close after you drag the contents out.
  • Changed: Dropshelf has a cleaner look. All rust and dirt has been removed!

New in Dropshelf 1.0.2 (May 30, 2013)

  • Now you can hold the command key (⌘) to prevent Dropshelf sliding out while you are dragging something. Lots of people requested this.
  • I fixed a bug where Dropshelf would sometimes slide out behind the Dock (which it shouldn't do).

New in Dropshelf 1.0.1 (Nov 2, 2012)

  • Add the ability to pin a shelf to keep it open.
  • Localization in 8 languages.
