Abstract
A user interface apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating user selection of multiple files stored at a consumer electronic device, such as a mobile communication station. A contiguous selection procedure is provided in which a user selects a pair or more of file representations displayed upon a touch screen. Representations of files contiguous to the selected file representations are ascertained, and such files are aggregated. A non-contiguous selection procedure is also provided. A detector detects selection to enter into a multi-select mode. And, a detection is further made of selection made by a user of files to be aggregated.
