(b) track each action of the action event;
(c) for each action of the action event;
(i) process the action;

Abstract
Embodiments provided herein include methods and systems for conditionally refreshing a collection view. As used herein, “collection view” refers to a collection of objects presented in a user interface environment, such as a graphical user interface (GUI). In general, a collection view is refreshed only once all of the selected objects have been processed. In addition, the view is refreshed only if an action performed on any of the selected objects affects the view. In one embodiment, a determination is made as to whether the actions completed successfully prior to determining whether a view is affected.
