[0017] overview

[0018] As previously described, the trustworthiness of an application can vary as much as the developer who codes the application. For example, a user may access an application marketplace through the Internet that offers hundreds or even thousands of applications for download. However, because of the vast majority of applications available and because of the wide range of developers who can provide these applications, the reliability of applications can vary widely.

[0019] The collection user interface technique is described. In one or more implementations, a user interface is provided to allow a user to authenticate access to a file system requested by an application. Thus, the application is not provided in this example with direct access to the file system (eg, the namespace employed by the computing device), and thus reduces the likelihood of harming the computing device. A user interface employed by a computing device to manage access to a file sys...

Abstract

Collection user interface techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a plurality of inputs are recognized as gestures received via interaction with a user interface to navigate through a file system of a computing device and select representations of objects managed by file system of the computing device, at least two of which are accessible via different devices. In response, copies of the representations are displayed by the computing device in a collection portion of the user interface. An option is output in conjunction with the collection portion by the computing device that is selectable to initiate a command to be performed using the objects that have corresponding representations included in the collection portion.

Description

Background technique [0001] The trustworthiness of an application can vary as much as the developer who codes the application. For example, users have traditionally obtained applications on computer-readable storage media (eg, optical discs) from "big box stores" and brought the media home to install the applications on home computing devices. Therefore, developers of the store and the applications provided to the store have a strong incentive that the applications work as users expect and are therefore trustworthy. [0002] However, with the proliferation of applications available via the Internet, users may be faced with multiple applications with different levels of trustworthiness. For example, the application's coding may be flawed, may have been written by a malicious party, and so on. Accordingly, these applications may compromise traditional techniques used to access a computing device's file system. Contents of the invention [0003] A collection user interface t...
