COLLECTION USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- recognizing a plurality of inputs as gestures received via interaction with a user interface to navigate through a file system of a computing device and select representations of objects managed by file system of the computing device, at least two of which are accessible via different devices;
in response to the recognizing, displaying copies by the computing device of the representations in a collection portion of the user interface; and
outputting in conjunction with the collection portion an option in the user interface by the computing device that is selectable to initiate a command to be performed using the objects that have corresponding representations included in the collection portion.

Abstract
Collection user interface techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a plurality of inputs are recognized as gestures received via interaction with a user interface to navigate through a file system of a computing device and select representations of objects managed by file system of the computing device, at least two of which are accessible via different devices. In response, copies of the representations are displayed by the computing device in a collection portion of the user interface. An option is output in conjunction with the collection portion by the computing device that is selectable to initiate a command to be performed using the objects that have corresponding representations included in the collection portion.

15. A method comprising:
-
displaying a plurality of copies of representations of objects in a collection portion of a user interface by a computing device, the copies collected using gestures to specify objects from different locations in a namespace employed by the computing device and the displaying of the collection portion persisting during navigation of the namespace to locate the representations of the objects; and outputting in conjunction with the collection portion an option in the user interface by the computing device that is selectable to initiate a command to be performed using the objects that have representations included in the collection portion. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
recognizing a first input as a first gesture to select a first representation of a first file displayed in a user interface by a computing device; in response to the recognizing of the first gesture, displaying a copy of the first representation in a collection portion in the user interface; recognizing a second input as a second gesture to select a second representation of a second file displayed in the user interface by the computing device, the first and second objects accessible via different locations in a namespace employed by the computing device; in response to the recognizing of the second gesture, displaying a copy of the second representation in the collection portion in the user interface along with the copy of the first representation; and outputting in conjunction with the collection portion an option that is selectable to initiate a command to be performed using the first and second objects. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
