Have been using Dropover this week, and it’s great. A Mac app that pops up a little shelf for you to drop whatever you are currently dragging onto, so you can then find the place you want to permanently drop it.

The thing that makes it better than Yoink, which does a similar thing and which I have been using up to now, is how you active the shelf – just by wiggling the mouse a bit. The shelf then appears right where your pointer is.

With Yoink, I had to drag whatever I was moving over the left hand side of the screen to activate the shelf, which frequently was a pain in the neck.

This feels like something that really ought to be a part of the core OS – like clipboard management, for instance – but there we are.
