Collection user interface
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- recognizing a plurality of inputs as gestures received via interaction with a user interface, the gestures being configured to;
navigate through a file system of a computing device, the file system comprising objects that include a file or a folder, at least two of the objects are accessible via different devices; and
select representations of the objects managed by the file system in a first portion of the user interface;
in response to the selection of the representations of the objects in the first portion of the user interface, displaying copies of the selected representations of the objects in a collection portion of the user interface, the collection portion being different from the first portion; and
outputting an option in the collection portion of the user interface that is selectable to initiate a command to be performed using the objects in the file system based on the copies of the selected representations of the objects being 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 plurality of copies collected for display 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 the collection portion of the user interface, an option that is selectable to initiate a command to be performed using the objects that have copies of representations of objects 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 of the first file 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 of the second file in the collection portion in the user interface along with the copy of the first representation of the first file; and outputting an option in the collection portion that is selectable to initiate a command to be performed using the first and second objects based on the copy of the first representation of the first file and the copy of the second representation of the second file being displayed in the collection portion. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
