Shelf
The Shelf is a pinned-files section at the top of the Files sidebar. Use it to keep standalone files accessible without adding them to a project.
How files get added
CrispyVibe automatically adds a file to the Shelf when you:
- Open a file from Finder that is not part of a project
- Drag and drop a file onto the CrispyVibe window
- Create a new whiteboard. It remains a Shelf draft until you drag it into a project.
The Shelf section appears only when it contains at least one file.
Opening a file
Click a file in the Shelf to open it in the content viewer. Hover over it to see the full path in a tooltip.
Context menu actions
Right-click a file in the Shelf to access:
- Open — open in the content viewer
- Open Directory in Terminal — launch a terminal at the file’s parent directory
- Reveal in Finder — show the file in Finder
- Copy Path — copy the full file path to the clipboard
- Rename — rename the file on disk
- Remove from Shelf — unpin without deleting
- Delete from Disk — permanently delete the file
Clear all files
Right-click the Shelf header and select Clear All to remove every file from the Shelf.
Missing files
If a file has moved or been deleted from disk, CrispyVibe dims its Shelf entry and shows a warning icon. Remove it from the Shelf or restore it to its original location.
Persistence
CrispyVibe keeps the Shelf across app launches. Your pinned files remain available until you remove them.
