Unreferenced date December 2009 Deleted image removed Image OPENSTEP Shelf.jpg right The Shelf is an interface feature in NeXTSTEP and OpenStepOPENSTEP , 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 file system hierarchy. In Mac OS X , items may be dragged onto the sidebar area of the Finder software Finder while holding the Apple key, but these do not behave as placeholders and cannot be manipulated in the below manner. The dynamics of the Shelf in file system operations can be illustrated by comparison with the metaphor used in the Microsoft Windows operating systems. In order to move a file the following steps may be taken 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 With the NeXT operating systems, in addition to moving files by dragging them from window to window, the following method can be used the user navigates to the source directory the file is dragged to the Shelf the user navigates to the destination directory the file is dragged from the Shelf to the destination directory Note that the file, when dragged to the Shelf, has not moved anywhere and is not changed in any way. The Shelf icon is merely a wikt placeholder placeholder for the file. In moving the placeholder off the shelf, the actual action occurs. The NeXT functionality builds upon this concept by allowing the destination directory to be put on the Shelf as well, and the file can be merely dragged to the destination directory icon. The process is similar to the Microsoft Windows functionality of Clipboard software copying or cutting file system objects a file or files, a folder or folders, or a combination of both to the clipboard the objects ... used programs can be put on the Shelf as well.

For example, Adobe Photoshop may be launched by simply typing pho after training and Interface Builder can be opened by typing ib even though that sequence of characters does not appear consecutively anywhere in the name of the application. History LaunchBar began as a series of shell scripts for the NeXTSTEP platform, then migrated to OPENSTEP where it was developed into a full fledged application.
