Abstract: Computer system navigation tools provide “links” to various different files, lists, folders, and/or other storage elements and allow users to organize files, e.g., by hierarchical properties, lists, auto lists, folders, and the like. Such systems and methods allow users to assign properties to a file (optionally in a hierarchical manner), to change assigned properties, to search, view, and retrieve information based on the assigned properties, and the like.

Abstract: A method and system are provided in which static lists facilitate arbitrary grouping of items of data independent of their locations and in ways that are meaningful to the user. A static list is a set of items defined by a root item, a direction, and the entry relationships with that root item in that direction. The static list also defines the properties that each entry relationship in the list is required to have. Verbs are provided to manage a static list. A verb is an action that may be performed on the items in the static list, and includes, among others, move, copy, add, remove, and delete. A view is provided to specify characteristics for displaying data from a static list, including visibility, order, and formatting, among other characteristics.

Abstract: A system and method for filtering and organizing items from computer memories based on common elements is provided. Filters can be provided for manipulating the items, which serve as tools for narrowing down a set of items. The filters can be dynamically generated based on the properties of the separate items. The system can utilize virtual folders. The virtual folders can expose regular files and folders to users in different views based on their metadata instead of the actual physical underlying file system structure on the disk. Quick links can be provided, which serve as a set of predefined links (e.g., located on the left side of the display) that can be clicked on to generate useful views of the sets of items. Libraries, which can provide large groups of usable types of items that can be associated together, may also be used.

Abstract: The features described herein are directed to a method and system for use in a computing environment for representing files stored in stacks. The method includes providing a set of stack icons, each icon in the set having a stack height representing a range of stack sizes. The method additionally includes determining a stack size for a selected stack and selecting and displaying an appropriate stack icon from the set of stack icons based on the determined stack size. The selected stack may be stored within one of multiple libraries. Accordingly a distinct set of icons relevant to each library may be stored for each library. The icons may visibly convey information pertaining to the relevant library. Accordingly, the method may include representing a selected stack by determining an appropriate library and an appropriate stack height and displaying a corresponding icon. The stack icon may include multiple thumbnail images as top elements, and may use common characteristics among the files to define the appearance of the stack. The system may also use metadata or file characteristics (e.g., time of last edit, size, etc.) to identify one file for top representation in the stack icon. The system may additionally include an empty stack icon, a generic stack icon, property based icons, and custom thumbnail icons.

Abstract translation: 这里描述的特征涉及用于在计算环境中用于表示堆栈中存储的文件的方法和系统。 该方法包括提供一组堆栈图标，集合中的每个图标具有表示堆栈大小范围的堆栈高度。 该方法还包括确定所选择的堆栈的堆栈大小，并且基于所确定的堆栈大小从该组堆栈图标中选择和显示适当的堆栈图标。 所选择的堆栈可以存储在多个库之一中。 因此，可以为每个库存储与每个库相关的一组独特的图标。 这些图标可能会显示相关图书馆的信息。 因此，该方法可以包括通过确定适当的库和适当的堆栈高度来显示所选择的堆栈并显示相应的图标。 堆栈图标可以包括作为顶部元素的多个缩略图，并且可以使用文件之间的共同特征来定义堆栈的外观。 系统还可以使用元数据或文件特征（例如，最后编辑的时间，大小等）来识别用于堆栈图标中的顶部表示的一个文件。 该系统可以另外包括空堆栈图标，通用堆栈图标，基于属性的图标和自定义缩略图图标。

Abstract: A property tree user interface permits user assignment of values to metadata properties and user navigation of data, within a system that includes a data storage subsystem in which data items are organized and queried by way of properties. The property tree includes nodes that expose properties of data items. A user may interact with the property tree in order to effect an assignment of a property, in which case the value associated with the property in the data storage subsystem is modified. User input with respect to the property tree may also be indicative of a query of data storage, in which case a browsable view of data items responsive to the query is displayed. The property tree may also display nodes that represent folders within a hierarchical file system, nodes that represent properties with inherent hierarchy, and nodes that represent user-defined hierarchical properties.

Abstract: A tool for creating integrated collections. The tool may include a “basket” control that includes interfaces for receiving and displaying the data objects that are selected by a user to be included in a collection, and a collection creation component then provides a collection with one or more data items corresponding to the objects submitted to the basket control. The basket control may be employed by itself to make collections, or it may be hosted by another software object, such as a “listmaker” control that conveniently contains both the basket control and one or more user interfaces that a user can employ to provide data objects to the basket control. The listmaker control may thus include a viewing graphical user interface for viewing data objects and a navigation toolbar for navigating the viewing graphical user interface. The listmaker control may then be hosted as desired in a variety of software applications.

Abstract: Techniques for application activation are described herein. An operating system (OS) can be configured to incorporate various extension points that are serviceable through contracts defining individual invocations of extensible functionality. The extensible functionality is integrated as part of the OS and controlled by the OS in a centralized manner. However, the specific implementations of the extensible functionally are offloaded to applications using the contracts. For example, the OS can include or otherwise make use of a centralized application activation component that employs an object-oriented approach to invoke applications to perform particular contracts. The application activation component can pass information describing a particular contract to activate a designated application and enable the application to service the contract in the manner specified by the OS. In this way, the manner in which contracts are handled by application code can be managed and coordinated through a centralized application activation component.

Abstract translation: 本文描述了应用激活的技术。 可以将操作系统（OS）配置为包含通过定义可扩展功能的单独调用的契约而可维护的各种扩展点。 可扩展功能集成为操作系统的一部分，并由操作系统集中控制。 然而，可扩展功能的具体实现被卸载到使用合同的应用程序。 例如，OS可以包括或以其他方式利用采用面向对象方法来调用应用程序来执行特定合同的集中式应用激活组件。 应用程序激活组件可以传递描述特定合同的信息，以激活指定的应用程序，并使应用程序以OS指定的方式服务合同。 以这种方式，通过应用程序代码处理合同的方式可以通过集中式应用程序激活组件进行管理和协调。
