Don't forget it works with text clippings also, not only files.

Because creating a folder for moving between windows takes:
1.creating a folder
2.arrange windows to put the files
3.open the folder to drag and drop
4.arrange windows to put back again
5. perhaps less or more steps

So with XShelf this just takes to open a window drag and drop to the xshelf
and then return back where you want it, end!

I think this fills a hole in OSX GUI, it will be interesting other approaches though, maybe like the XShelf be integrated in the finder windows. Or maybe an option or area to keep the files in the XShelf to copy in place of moving.

By now it makes life easier :)

diggn_it, its useful because you can manage multiple items. Lets say I want to get some documents for a project from 3 locations (~/Documents, a shared folder, and a network drive) to a thumb drive. XShelf visualises the process and is much easier than juggling Finder windows.

Of course, some people don't need this at all, which you've pointed out yourself ;)

why not just create a blank folder and do the same thing? THis program seems uterly pointless. But then again, why not just use text edit as opposed to the meriad of notetaking apps?

Works great on Intel machines as well.
