Abstract

In an electronic file system, preview information is provided to the user during a drag operation of a selected object onto a target object. The information indicates what type(s) of action is to be taken should the selected object be dropped onto the target object. The action(s) to be taken may depend upon the type of the selected object and / or the type of the target object. For example, where the selected object is an item and the target object is a persisted auto-list, the action may include adding, removing, or modifying one or more properties of the selected object to conform to one or more criteria defined by the persisted auto-list. Also, numerical feedback may be provided to the user where multiple objects are selected. For example, where seven objects are selected, the textual number '7' may appear next to the cursor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technique for providing a rich drag-and-drop user interface in a file system. Background technique [0002] Modern electronic file systems usually store files in a hierarchical tree structure. Each node of the tree is considered a folder containing one or more files. Typically, in this electronic filing system, an item's location is constrained by the organization's defined filing system. For example, in many file systems, each file resides in one (and only one) folder. This means that file lifetimes and file organization are merged. That is, a file can only exist if it has a location organized relative to other files or folders. Also, files cannot be placed in more than one organization. This means that, for example, if a user wishes to view a file in multiple folders, the user must make multiple copies of the file. This is tedious and error-prone for the user, and wastes storage space. [0003] In addition, w...
