摘要:
Various embodiments provide a guard mechanism that is configured to prevent transmission of synchronous function calls to hung application components. In at least some embodiments, a hang resistance application layer intercepts a synchronous function call that is intended for an application component. Before permitting the synchronous function call to be transmitted to the application component, the hang resistance application layer determines whether the application component is hung by transmitting a message other than the synchronous function call to the application component that requests that a response be received before transmission of the synchronous function call to the application component is permitted. Responsive to determining that the component is hung, a hung component recovery process is initiated.

摘要:
Conventional computer systems include numerous application programs which by default store files, or documents, in folders containing the application program that creates them. For example, wordprocessing documents are stored by default in the folder with the wordprocessing application program, and so forth. Thus, users who choose not to organize their documents according to subject matter or other criteria end up having their documents dispersed across numerous application-program folders, sometimes making them difficult to find. Accordingly, the inventors devised a computer operating system that defines a common default document folder for application programs. Moreover, to promote use of the default document folder, one embodiment of the operating system includes a graphical user interface which provides links, that is, one-button access to the common default folder, at file access points, such as in file-open and file-save dialog boxes accessed by the application programs.
