FileClipper ... Copy/Move/Link a file in clipboard to Finder's selected location.
The Finder of Mac OS X can copy files or directory through clipboard, but moving files and other file operations are unable. FileCllipper can make not only moving files possible, but also making alias files and symbolic links. The file references in the clipboard put by Finder can be treated by tools of FileClipper, therefore the copy & paste operation can be operated naturally.

But in the end: what's the use? You have to "copy" the source item, then open the destination folder, then click on the operation (copy, paste, alias, symbolic link).
Except for the symbolic link (i.e. if you don't already use some CM to create them), now you have the destination folder open, you just would have to drag the source file to it, without this set of utilities, so the gain in your workflow is minimal.
The only positive thing is that you don't have to organize windows in a way that you can directly drag and drop from source to destination.
I'm searching more something like a CM that makes you copy/move the selected file to a destination folder in a given volume (a bit like what Maxmenus did).

Xshelf is a free alternative, if you don't mind another background app and still have space for drawers (i.e. don't use Dragthing, Sidenote, Slidepad or else... ;-).

Note that the latest version is not PPC anymore, the only choice left if you want a PPC compatible version is to use the Tiger version found on the dev's site:

There appears to be 4 different apps each with a different outcome: Copy, paste, alias, move.
Good idea though.
