Abstract: In a graphical user interface environment, a request to save a file may result in a display of a location or view in which the file is to be saved, and may include a preview indicia representing the to-be-saved file. The user may interact with the preview indicia to edit the new file's metadata by repositioning the indicia in a different view, and/or the system may automatically update the preview indicia's location in response to the user editing displayed metadata properties for the new file. The preview indicia may have a distinct appearance, and may persist to show the user how the new file can be located after the save process is performed.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing the data between two separate computer systems is described. In a first aspect of the invention, the method includes the step of identifying each record stored in the memory of the first computer system that is intended to be synchronized. The records are identified with a unique identification indicia and an indicia that indicates the last time that the record was altered. Using the time of the last synchronization information, each of the selected records that was added to or deleted from one of the computer systems since the last synchronization is identified and added to or deleted from the other computer system. Further, each of the records that was modified on one computer system is modified on the other. If conflicting actions have occurred on the two computer systems, then the conflicts are handled in accordance with a predetermined protocol. In a preferred aspect, a synchronization list is created that identifies each of these additions, deletions and modifications and either prioritizes them in accordance with the protocol or informs the user of the conflicts.

Abstract: A method for implementing I/O in a frame-based computer system, including the steps of: a) determining whether there is a communication pertaining to a frame-based computer system; b) determining which frame the communication is associated with, if any; and c) causing the frame to implement a script, including sequence of computer-implemented process steps which causes with input to or output from the frame-based computer system. The frame-based computer system includes a CPU, a memory system coupled to the CPU, an input system coupled to the CPU, and an output system coupled to the CPU. A frame system stored in the memory system and implemented on the CPU provides a basic data structure for the frame-based computer system. A mechanism for detecting an output request initiated within the frame-based computer system causes an associated frame to execute a sequence of computer-implemented process steps to cause the output system to make an output. A mechanism for detecting an input from the input system causes an associated frame of the frame system to implement an input script, including a sequence of computer-implemented process steps, which causes an input into the frame system.

Abstract: An electronic file system organizational structure is provided that allows for items to be organized in a directed acyclic graph (DAG). While items may be organized hierarchically as in a tree structure, items may also have multiple direct parents. The electronic file system may further have access to multiple different stores. In addition, various techniques for managing items as they are manipulated and re-organized across different stores are discussed. For example, techniques are discussed for managing an item that has multiple direct parents all in the same first store, where the item is moved or copied to a second different store. Certain of these techniques may more closely match a user's intentions and/or have predictable results from users' points of view. In doing so, actions performed on one organization do not affect other organizations in unexpected or unintended ways.

Abstract translation: 提供了电子文件系统组织结构，其允许以有向无环图（DAG）组织项目。 虽然项目可以按照树结构分层次地组织，但项目也可以具有多个直接父母。 电子文件系统还可以访问多个不同的商店。 另外，讨论了用于管理项目的各种技术，因为它们在不同商店之间被操纵和重新组织。 例如，讨论了用于管理具有多个直接父母的项目的技术，该项目全部位于相同的第一商店中，其中该项目被移动或复制到第二个不同的商店。 这些技术中的某些技术可能更符合用户的意图和/或具有来自用户观点的可预测结果。 在这样做时，对一个组织执行的操作不会以意外或非预期的方式影响其他组织。

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for use by software program developers. More specifically, the invention involves a system and method that allows software developers to more effectively diagnose bugs existing in software programs that may result in a crash of the program. Using this method, a software developer will author program code that includes LogEvent calls, which indicate events taking place that are to be logged. The developer will include in the LogEvent call a text string that is meaningful to the software developer and that indicates what the program is doing at a certain event. A generation tool inserts event tags that correspond to the text string and creates an index file mapping the text strings to the appropriate event tags. The text strings are then removed from the program code prior to retail sale, leaving the event tags in place. As the program runs, a log file is created of the events as indicated by the event tags. If the program should crash, the log file is closed and is sent to the software company. In one embodiment, the developer may include a flag that is used to remove any sensitive or personal information prior to the log file being sent to the software company. Once at the software company, the log file is processed to generate a text file by mapping the event tags with the previously removed text strings. Using this text file, the software developer can determine the events leading up to the crash of the program and can more easily develop a solution to the crash.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供了一种由软件程序开发人员使用的方法和系统。 更具体地说，本发明涉及允许软件开发者更有效地诊断可能导致程序崩溃的软件程序中存在的错误的系统和方法。 使用此方法，软件开发人员将编写包含LogEvent调用的程序代码，该代码指示要进行记录的事件。 开发人员将在LogEvent调用中包含对软件开发人员有意义的文本字符串，并指示程序在某个事件中正在做什么。 一代工具插入与文本字符串相对应的事件标签，并创建将文本字符串映射到相应事件标签的索引文件。 然后在零售前将文本字符串从程序代码中删除，将事件标签留在原位。 当程序运行时，将创建事件标记所指示的事件的日志文件。 如果程序崩溃，日志文件被关闭并发送给软件公司。 在一个实施例中，开发者可以包括用于在将日志文件发送给软件公司之前去除任何敏感或个人信息的标志。 一旦在软件公司，日志文件被处理以生成一个文本文件通过映射事件标签与以前删除的文本字符串。 使用此文本文件，软件开发人员可以确定导致程序崩溃的事件，并可以更轻松地开发出崩溃的解决方案。

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 method and apparatus for providing a unified data approach to performing computational services, particularly in pen-based computer systems. The approach employs object oriented functions and establishes common data structures employable in the standardized form in particular defined functional domains of the computer system. The functional domains in which the common data structures are employable without adaptation include the view system, the scripting system, and the object store functional domains of the computational system, which preferably is a pen-based computer system. The apparatus according to the invention further includes an object system for creating, eliminating and managing the predetermined data objects and structures. The object store functional domain provides external storage with respect to the externally located operating system with which it cooperates through a minimal, i.e., narrow interface. The view system and the scripting system effectively operate in cooperation with each other in a integrated fashion enabled by similar context, unified data structures according to the invention herein.
