## Abstract

Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for displaying an alert and options when deleting a file associated with a sequence. A system is disclosed herein that can comprise receiving a first request to display, via a display device, content information, wherein the content information is associated with contents of a folder, determining that the folder comprises at least one file associated with a file sequence, wherein the file sequence represents a group of files assigned a filename comprising a sequence name portion and a sequence value portion, wherein the sequence name portion is assigned a sequence name and the sequence value portion is assigned a sequence value selected from a group of sequence values, and generating a display image according to a first format, wherein the display image comprises a sequence name image and a sequence value image.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system, comprising:

receiving a first request to display, via a display device, content information, wherein the content information is associated with contents of a folder;
determining that the folder comprises at least one file associated with a file sequence, wherein the file sequence represents a group of files assigned a filename comprising a sequence name portion and a sequence value portion, wherein the sequence name portion is assigned a sequence name and the sequence value portion is assigned a sequence value selected from a group of sequence values;
generating a display image according to a first format, wherein the display image comprises a sequence name image and a sequence value image comprising a sequence start value image, a selectable connector image, and a sequence end value image; and
displaying a dialog box comprising a first option representing an operation applied to the group of files, a second option representing the operation applied to the at least one file, and a third option representing the operation applied to a collection of files of the group of files, wherein the dialog box facilitates a selection, via user input, of one of the first option, the second option, or the third option, wherein the display box is associated with an alert representing a sound notification that the group of files, the at least one file, and the collection of files are representative of the file sequence, and wherein the operation represents a delete operation.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the sequence name image comprises an image representative of the sequence name.

### Claim 3

(canceled)

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the group of files comprises a sequence start file and a sequence end file.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the sequence start value image represents the sequence value assigned to the filename of the sequence start file and the sequence end value image represents the sequence value assigned to the filename of the sequence end file.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving a second request to display sequence information associated with the sequence value image, wherein a selection of the selectable connector image initiates the second request.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the operations further comprise:
generating a sequence number string comprising a list of sequence values.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the sequence value image is a first sequence value image, wherein the display image is a first display image, and wherein the operations further comprise:
generating a second display image according to a second format, wherein the second display image comprises the sequence name image and a second sequence value image.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise:
displaying, via the display device, the first display image.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise:
displaying, via the display device, the second display image, wherein the second sequence value image represents an image of the sequence number string.

### Claim 11

A method, comprising:
receiving, by a device comprising a processor, a first request to display, via a display device, content information, wherein the content information is associated with contents of a folder;
determining, by the device, that the folder comprises at least one file associated with a file sequence, wherein the file sequence represents a group of files assigned a filename comprising a sequence name portion and a sequence value portion, wherein the sequence name portion is assigned a sequence name and the sequence value portion is assigned a sequence value selected from a group of sequence values;
displaying, by the device, a display image according to a first format, wherein the display image comprises a sequence name image and a sequence value image comprising a sequence start value image, a selectable connector image, and a sequence end value image; and
facilitating, by the device, display of a dialog box comprising a first option representing an operation applied to the group of files, a second option representing the operation applied to the at least one file, and a third option representing the operation applied to a grouping of files of the group of files, wherein the dialog box facilitates user input that selects one of the first option, the second option, or the third option, wherein the display box is associated with an alert representing a visual notification that the group of files, the at least one file, and the collection of files are representative of the file sequence, and wherein the operation represents a move operation.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the sequence name image comprises an image representative of the sequence name.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11,
wherein the group of files comprises a sequence start file and a sequence end file.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, wherein the sequence start value image represents the sequence value assigned to the filename of the sequence start file and the sequence end value image represents the sequence value assigned to the filename of the sequence end file.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprising:
receiving, by the device, a second request to display sequence information associated with the sequence value image, wherein a selection of a selectable connector image initiates the second request.

### Claim 16

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving a first request to display, via a display device, content information, wherein the content information is associated with contents of a folder;
identifying that the folder comprises at least one file associated with a file sequence, wherein the file sequence represents a group of files assigned a filename comprising a sequence name portion and a sequence value portion, wherein the sequence name portion is assigned a sequence name and the sequence value portion is assigned a sequence value selected from a group of sequence values;
rendering a display image via the display device according to a first format, wherein the display image comprises a sequence name image and a sequence value image comprising a sequence start value image, a selectable connector image, and a sequence end value image; and
