摘要:
Tools and techniques for synchronizing metadata and document content across client systems using different communication channels are provided. These tools may define logical communication channels between client software components, and may allocate one of these channels to synchronizing updates to the contents of documents shared between these client components. These tools may allocate another one of the communication channels to synchronizing metadata between the client components, with the metadata describing activity pertaining to the shared documents. The client components may receive indications of activity made by users to the document contents, and may create metadata representing the activity. These client components may then transmit this metadata, using the further communication channel, to any number of other client components automatically in real time with the updates.

Techniques to determine network storage for sharing media files are described. An apparatus may comprise a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory may store an application having a media share component operative to receive a request to associate a media file with a document having a document network storage location. The media share component may comprise multiple software modules, including a file manager module. The file manager module may be operative to determine a media file network storage location for the media file based on the document network storage location. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要:
Document markup is presented in a progressive manner by providing a view that avoids impact of the markup on the document body by abstracting away the markup as “hints”. The hints may be actionable elements presented in conspicuous locations of the document view and provide a window into the detailed markup being hinted at. Users may be enabled to toggle on and off the details of the markup abstracted away by any particular hint.
摘要:
A document accessible on a network may be opened by multiple users. A user may use a thin client application to access the document, wherein an image of the document and XML data including comments and locations of the comments in the document. Hint icons are displayed in the document where comments are anchored. Upon selection of a hint, an HTML comments pane may be displayed to a side of the document, exposing comments and replies to comments currently stored in the document. The comments pane may be scrolled to the comment associated with the selected hint. Additionally, highlighting may be provided over elements in the document associated with a selected comment. Comments may be added via the comments pane and saved to the document on the network. Comments and comment location data may be communicated to other clients, allowing for collaborative communication via a thin client application.
摘要:
Systems and methods are disclosed that provide a flexible file capable of storing rich content. A flexible file may include a section object, one or more tile objects stored within the section object, and one or more clip objects associated with each tile object. A clip objects may store a content item. Alternatively a clip object may store one or more references to a content item, the content item being stored externally to the flexible file. The disclosed flexible file allows an application to adjust the atomicity based upon the needs of a user or application.

Techniques to manage collaborative documents are described. An application program may comprise a document render component to render a first document instance of a collaborative document, a document share component to receive a document update list comprising a set of change records for a second document instance of the collaborative document, and modify properties of one or more constructs for the first document instance based on the change records to form a merged document instance of the collaborative document, and an undo manager component to manage a local undo stack for the first document instance, the local undo stack comprising a set of undo records, and determine whether to preserve one or more of the undo records of the local undo stack after formation of the merged document instance based on one or more of the change records. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A conversion tool that is automatically launched enables file formats not understood by a given application to be opened by that application. The converter registers for file types that are not already associated with an application used by the system. When a file that is not supported by another application is opened, the converter automatically converts the file to the target format and then opens the file causing the application that is registered for the target format to be launched.
摘要:
Algorithms are provided to determine a final sequence of objects based on separating the objects from a base sequence and two derived sequences into common objects appearing in all three sequences and non-common objects missing from at least one of the sequences, then determining the final order of the common objects, and using the positioning of the non-common objects relative to the common objects in the original sequences. The final sequence represents changes made by the two derived sequences to the base sequence.
