User interface for presenting object representations

A computer system comprising:

• a collection of objects, wherein any object selected from the collection of objects can be presented using a selected visual representation selected from at least first and second visual representations, wherein the first and second visual representations are initiated using different initiation techniques in the computer system;
• and
• a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising:
• a first input control for causing the GUI to present the selected object using another visual representation instead of the selected visual representation, the other visual representation being selected from the at least first and second visual representations;
• and
• a second input control for causing the GUI to present another object selected from the collection of objects instead of the selected object, wherein the other object will be presented using any visual configuration that is currently used in presenting the selected object.

A method of presenting representations of selected objects in a computer system, the method comprising:

• presenting an object selected from a collection of objects, the selected object being presented using a selected visual representation selected from at least first and second visual representations, wherein the first and second visual representations are initiated using different initiation techniques in the computer system;
• presenting, if a first input is received, the selected object using another visual representation instead of the selected visual representation, the other visual representation being selected from the at least first and second visual representations;
• and
• presenting, if a second input is received, another object selected from the collection of objects instead of the selected object, wherein the other object will be presented using any visual configuration that is currently used in presenting the selected object.
