(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Shelf is an interface feature in NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP, and is used as a repository to store links to commonly used files, directories and programs, and as a temporary "holding" place to move/copy files and directories around in the filesystem hierachy.The dynamics of the Shelf in filesystem operations can be elucidated by comparison of the metaphor used in Microsoft Windows operating systems. In order to move a file, for example, two methods can be used:
However in NeXT operating systems, this can be done as above, however the following method can also be used:
- the window containing the source folder is opened
- the window containing the destination folder is opened
- the desired file in the source directory is dragged to the destination folder
*NB The file, when dragged to the Shelf, has not moved anywhere or is changed in any way. The Shelf icon is merely a placeholder for the file. In moving the placeholder off the shelf, the actual action occurs.
- the source directory is navigated to
- the file is dragged to the Shelf*
- the destination directory is navigated to
- the file is dragged from the Shelf to the destination directory
Notice also that to speed the process up, the destination directory can be put on the Shelf as well, and the file can be merely dragged to the destination directory icon.
Since Shelf icons are 'placeholders' of sorts, then icons can be put on the Shelf representing commonly used directories or programs that are commonly used can be put on the Shelf as well.

Bill Hicks | I love talking about the Warren Commission, I love talking about the Kennedy assasination as well. The reason I do is because I'm fascinated by it. I'm fascinated that our government could lie to us so blatantly, so obviously for so long, and we do absolutely nothing about it. I think that's interesting in what is ostensibly a democracy. Sarcasm - come on in. People say, "Bill, quit talking about Kennedy man. It was a long time ago, just let it go, alright? It's a long time ago, just forget it." I'm like, alright, then don't bring up Jesus to me. As long as we're talking shelf life here, you know. |
