Device, Method, and Grahpical User Interface for Managing User Interface Content and User Interface Elements
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- at a computing device with a display and one or more user input devices adapted to detect user gestures;
displaying on the display a plurality of user interface elements in an ordered list;
detecting one or more user interface element selection gestures, the detected user-interface element selection gestures corresponding to the selection of two or more user interface elements in the plurality of user interface elements in the ordered list;
while detecting the one or more user interface element selection gestures, maintaining a selection order for the selected user interface elements;
after detecting the one or more user interface element selection gestures, detecting a user gesture, the detected user gesture corresponding to a first portion of a user-initiated operation on the selected user interface elements;
in response to detecting the user gesture corresponding to the first portion of the user-initiated operation, displaying a stack of temporarily displayed thumbnails corresponding to the selected user interface elements, wherein a stacked display order of the stack of temporarily displayed thumbnails corresponds to the selection order for the selected user interface elements.
