Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of file resource managers, and in particular to an enhanced management system for file resource managers. Background Art

[0002] File Explorer is probably the most commonly used software on PC. However, there are many places in current file explorer that affect user's work efficiency and cause errors.

[0003] Attached Figure 1 This is a screenshot of the current File Explorer. We use this software almost every day.

[0004] The current Windows operating system's file explorer has various problems, which lead to low efficiency and even error-prone work for users related to files. These problems have existed for a long time and have not been effectively solved. For example, a user wants the name of an important file in the file explorer to be displayed larger so that the file can be easily seen by the user. Currently, the only way to achieve this effect is to increase the character size setting of the entire computer system. However, doing so will bring side effects, that is, the characters of other software on the system will also be enlarged, which may cause these software to fail to render correctly, the format is messy, or even cause errors.

[0005] For example, there are many files in a directory, but usually only a small number of them are frequently used (2 / 8 principle). Then, if the names of these files are presented in bold, large font or highlighted in color, it will be very convenient for users to find them. These functions are not available in the current file explorer.

[0006] For example, if a user deletes a file and needs to restore it later, the only way to find it is to go to the Recycle Bin on the desktop. First, the user needs to remember the name of the file. Second, the file needs to be in the Recycle Bin (often the required file cannot be found in the Recycle Bin).

[0007] For example, a user wants to add a note to a file or directory. For example, the note for a file can be "Chapter 3 has been reviewed, and Chapter 4 must be reviewed before Thursday noon." The note for a directory can be "After receiving an email from xxx, update all JPG files in this directory according to the email attachment." Currently, people have to use the backward pen and paper method: users write down the content on paper, including file path, file name, content, etc., and then keep the paper.

[0008] Therefore, an enhanced management system for file resource managers has become an issue that needs to be urgently addressed. Summary of the invention

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an enhanced management system for a file resource manager, which adds a series of new functions on the basis of the existing file resource manager to form an enhanced framework for the current file resource manager.

[0010] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a technical solution: an enhanced management system for a file resource manager, comprising a name enhancement unit, a deletion unit, a priority enhancement unit, and a sorting unit;

[0011] The name enhancement unit changes the fonts of one or more file names and / or file directory names to make them stand out and eye-catching;

[0012] The deleting unit adds a strikethrough to the file name and / or file directory name to indicate that the file is deleted;

[0013] The priority enhancement unit includes a priority, an importance level and a security level, wherein the priority defines the priority order of the files, the importance level defines the importance of the files, and the security level defines the confidentiality of the files;

[0014] The sorting unit sorts the files according to the contents modified and defined by the name enhancement unit and the priority enhancement unit.

[0015] Furthermore, the name enhancement unit changes the file name and / or file directory name including font bolding, italics, font selection, font color, and background color.

[0016] Furthermore, the changes made to the file name and / or file directory name by the name enhancement unit also include remarks.

[0017] Furthermore, the priority includes high, medium, and low; the importance includes very important, relatively important, and unimportant; and the security classification includes confidential, secret, and public.

[0018] Furthermore, the priority enhancement unit defines different color markings for the contents marked with priority, importance level and security level respectively.

[0019] The advantages of the present invention over the prior art are: the present invention solves or even eliminates the inconvenience and error-proneness of the current Windows operating system's file resource manager to a large extent, and provides a convenient, efficient, robust and integrated file management environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] Figure 1 is the current file explorer diagram.

[0021] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of setting priorities.

[0022] Figure 3 It is a file information diagram of a traditional file explorer.

[0023] Figure 4 It is a diagram of file information of the enhanced file explorer. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] It should be understood that in the description of the present application, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, words such as "include", "comprises", and the like in the entire specification and claims should be interpreted as inclusive rather than exclusive or exhaustive; that is, the meaning of "including but not limited to".

[0026] The following is a further detailed description of an enhanced management system for a file resource manager of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Combined with Figure 1-4 The specific implementation process of the enhanced management system of a file resource manager of the present invention is as follows:

[0028] The enhanced management system of the file resource manager of the present invention is used as a plug-in of the file resource manager of the existing Windows operating system.

[0029] In specific applications, the following functions can be achieved in a targeted manner:

[0030] 1. Framework functions are provided through pop-up menus

[0031] (1) File name and character format

[0032] In the enhanced file explorer, when the user moves the mouse pointer to a file name and then clicks the right button of the mouse, in addition to the existing options, some new menu options will be displayed. The existing menu options include "Copy", "Cut", "Paste", etc. The new menu options include: "File name bold", "File name italic", "File name font selection", "File name font color", "File name background color".

[0033] In addition to the file name, the file directory name can also be set according to the above formats.

[0034] When selecting files, users can select multiple files at once (by pressing the Shift or Ctrl key at the same time) and set the selected files to the same format (italic, bold, font, etc. as mentioned above). This operation also applies to file directories.

[0035] (2) File deletion and recovery

[0036] "Delete line". When a file is considered useless but the user still wants to keep it, he may choose this option: in the file character format settings, select the delete line, and a delete line will be drawn across the characters of the file name. Now the user can see at a glance that the file has been deleted. To restore the file, just remove the delete line from the character format settings. In actual operation, this is much more convenient and reliable than using the Recycle Bin to delete and restore.

[0037] (3) Menu option: Notes

[0038] The right-click pop-up menu of the enhanced framework also includes the option "Comments". "Comments" are the user's comments on a file or file directory.

[0039] (4) Menu options for properties

[0040] In terms of attributes, the menu also includes the following options: "Priority": High, Medium, Low; "Importance": Very important, Relatively important, Not important; "Security classification": Confidential, Secret, Public. Figure 2 An example of properties for the "priority" option is given.

[0041] Attributes can be color-coded. For example, the Security Classification menu option Confidential could be red, Secret could be black, and Public could be green.

[0042] It is unlikely that users will use all the functions discussed above in the same place. Users can use more or less functions in different locations of the file explorer. In general, the efficiency and correctness of file-related operations have been greatly improved overall.

[0043] Attached Figure 2 It is the process of setting the priority of a file in Enhanced File Explorer.

[0044] Attached Figure 2The process of setting priorities is shown. First, right-click the file "Architecture Diagram.vsd" to display a menu. The menu options include "Font", "Font Size"... "Priority", "Importance", "Security Level", etc. Move the mouse to "Priority" and a second-level menu pops up, including "High", "Medium", and "Low". Here the user clicks the mouse and selects "Medium".

[0045] 2. Functions are displayed in the enhanced file explorer

[0046] Based on the properties discussed above, the enhanced file explorer provides corresponding sorting functions. Files can be sorted according to various file properties, such as: bold (by whether it is bold: files with bold are displayed in one part, and files without bold are displayed in another part), italic (whether it is italic: files with italics are displayed in one part, and files without italics are displayed in another part), font (files with the same font are displayed in one part), color (files with the same color are displayed in one part), and strikethrough (by order of whether it is a straight strikethrough). Other properties include priority, importance, security classification, and notes (by order of whether there are notes or not).

[0047] The above properties also apply to file directories.

[0048] The user starts sorting by clicking the column name with the mouse. Directories and files are sorted and displayed separately.

[0049] Attached Figure 3 This is an example of a file explorer that a user is currently using. It only shows three columns, namely the name of the file, the date the file was last modified, and the size of the file. In addition, the user wrote two paper notes and stuck them on the computer monitor.

[0050] Attached Figure 4 is an example of an enhanced file explorer.

[0051] Attached Figure 4 There are 7 columns in the file. In the "File Name" column, the first file "Outline Design" and the second file "Detailed Design" are in red with a yellow background, which is quite eye-catching. The third file name "Architecture Diagram" has a relatively large font and is in bold. The fourth file "Department Manpower Allocation" is attached to the top. Figure 3 The file does not exist in the traditional file explorer shown. It is in the Recycle Bin on the Windows desktop. In the enhanced file explorer, the file appears in the explorer, but a strikethrough is added to the file name, indicating that the file is no longer needed. However, it appears in the enhanced explorer again, making it easy to restore at any time. The fifth file "Manpower Allocation within the Group" has no format added. The sixth member "Weekly Report" is a directory, indicated by a directory icon on the left of the name.

[0052] There is no formatting under the second and third columns.

[0053] The fourth column "Priority" is represented by different colors. For example, priority "High" is displayed in red.

[0054] The fifth and sixth columns are similar to the fourth column. For file directories, the fourth, fifth, and sixth columns are not applicable, so they are crossed out with a backslash.

[0055] The seventh column is "Notes". If there is an asterisk displayed, it means that the file has notes. Move the mouse over the asterisk and a small floating window will pop up showing the note content. When the mouse is moved away, the window will disappear. When the user double-clicks the asterisk, a floating window will pop up showing the note content, just like before, but now the note content can be edited. There are also two small buttons, "Save" and "Exit". Click the "Save" button with the mouse, and the note content will be saved to the hard disk. Click the "Exit" button and the editing window will disappear.

[0056] The present invention proposes an enhanced plug-in for inserting into a file explorer of the Windows operating system. Through the plug-in, the inconvenience and error-proneness of the current file explorer are largely solved or even eliminated. The enhanced explorer provides a convenient, efficient, robust and integrated file management environment.

[0057] In fact, in addition to the Windows File Explorer, this solution is applicable to any operating environment with a file explorer-like environment, such as Mac OS Finder and Linux Ubuntu desktop environment.

[0058] The present invention and its embodiments are described above, and such description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in the field are inspired by it, without departing from the purpose of the invention, they can design a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without creativity, which should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
