Abstract
A file folder includes files of various different media types. A user's input is detected and a representation of the different files in the folder is displayed in a horizontally scrollable display that can be moved based on the user's input. A user interaction is detected and a file is then displayed in an interactive mode in which interactive, contextual controls are surfaced for user interaction, in order to interact with the displayed file.
Claims20
A computing system, comprising:
- carousel viewing logic that displays a plurality of different representations of files, of different media types, that are stored in a folder, in a carousel viewing mode;
- interactive mode detection logic that detects a user interaction input corresponding to a given representation of a given file;
- and
- function accessing logic that detects a media type of the given file and surfaces, for user interaction, a user input mechanism for interacting with the given file based on the detected media type.
