DesktopShelves can help clean up a desktop cluttered by dozens of different files.
You can display any folder as a shelf on your Desktop. On a shelf the size of 5 normal Desktop items you can fit 20 files, because items on a shelf are slightly rotated like books on a real-world shelf. That saves a lot of screen real estate.
If you mouse-over your shelves, you can see a larger preview of the file. A double-click opens it.
You can use DesktopShelves in many different ways: to organize files by project, quickly access frequently used files, or to collect text

- Finder integration: open folders as shelves from the Finder context menu
- Shelf contents update automatically when the underlying folder changes (e.g. you add or remove a file in Finder)
- Shelf width can be adjusted and shelves can be placed anywhere on the Desktop
- Drag & drop support: drag files from the Finder on the shelves, drop files from a shelf directly into other applications like Mail.app or TextEdit (dragging with right mouse button inserts the file contents)

With so many options for quick access on the Mac, there is no excuse for hundred of folders and files cluttering up the desktop and draining system resources, then in an attempt to organise that chaos, using a utility that further depletes system resources.
This is not an attack on this particular product, simply a comment on the bad practices that necessitate it - when it comes to system performance - using this to clean desktop clutter is akin to trying to put out a fire with petrol.

Once the first shelf item was selected and your mouse cursor is still above the shelf, the other ones open immediately.
A double-click opens files and folders on the shelves (just as in Finder). Single click opens a Quick Look window.

Something else that I think is a must have is a preference to control the size of the icons on the shelf AND the size of the hover preview. The 200x200 hover preview is just way too big.
Also, Finder integration wasn't working for me (does it not work in the demo?) Only way to make new shelves was via menu item. I like the potential of this app as I've been looking for a replacement for Bumptop since upgrading to Lion. This is almost there but needs a few more tweaks.
About the Finder integration: the demo is fully functional, but you have to log out and log back in again so that Finder reloads the Services shown in the context menu. Email me if it still doesn't show up after that.
Just purchased DesktopShelves and can´t download it as the download-link doesn´t work.
Any help?
Thanks
