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:

- Added a “Paste” command to the shelf context menu.

New in Dropshelf 1.1.1 (Nov 26, 2013)

New in Dropshelf 1.0.2 (May 30, 2013)
