• and
• a processor to associate the data file with the graphical data object.

A method executed by a computing device, the method comprising:

• detecting a first touch on a surface of the computing device, the first touch in continuous contact with a graphical data object on the display surface;
• identifying a type of the graphical data object with the first touch in contact with the display surface;
• and
• detecting a second touch on the display surface of the computing device while the first touch is in contact with the display surface, the second touch selects a data file to associate the data file with the graphical data object, wherein the association is dependent on the type of graphical data object.
