Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for presenting operations in a presentation. A technique is provided for allowing a user to insert media items on consecutive slides. During a presentation mode, the media items are determined to be two instances of a same media item, and matched such that the media item plays continuously across multiple slides. Another technique is provided to allow a user to utilize a user input to override a linearly-defined set of actions within a presentation. Another technique is utilized to temporarily select a visually obstructed object in a graphic editing interface such that the visually obstructed object may be manipulated during the temporary selection mode.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- at an electronic device in communication with a display device:
- displaying, via the display device, a graphic editing interface comprising a plurality of layered objects and a selection component by which one or more of the plurality of layered objects may be selected, wherein the plurality of layered objects comprises a first object and a second object;
- while displaying the graphic editing interface:
- receiving, via one or more input devices, first user input;
- in response to the first user input:
- in accordance with a determination that the first user input corresponds to selection of the second object within the selection component:
- transitioning into a temporary selection mode;
- and
- selecting the second object;
- receiving, via the one or more input devices, second user input directed to a first location where the second object is at least partially visually obstructed by the first object when the second user input is received, wherein the second user input corresponds to a request to perform a first operation on an object at the first location;
- and
- in response to the second user input:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more first criteria are satisfied, performing the second operation on the second object;
- and
- receiving, via the one or more input devices, third user input directed to a second location where the second object is at least partially visually obstructed by the first object when the third user input is received;
- and
- in response to the third user input:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more second criteria are satisfied, performing the second operation on the first object.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying, via the display device, a graphic editing interface comprising a plurality of layered objects and a selection component by which one or more of the plurality of layered objects may be selected, wherein the plurality of layered objects comprises a first object and a second object;
- while displaying the graphic editing interface:
- receiving, via one or more input devices, first user input;
- in response to the first user input:
- in accordance with a determination that the first user input corresponds to selection of the second object within the selection component:
- transitioning into a temporary selection mode;
- and
- selecting the second object;
- receiving, via the one or more input devices, second user input directed to a first location where the second object is at least partially visually obstructed by the first object when the second user input is received, wherein the second user input corresponds to a request to perform a first operation on an object at the first location;
- and
- in response to the second user input:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more first criteria are satisfied, performing the second operation on the second object;
- and
- receiving, via the one or more input devices, third user input directed to a second location where the second object is at least partially visually obstructed by the first object when the third user input is received;
- and
- in response to the third user input:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more second criteria are satisfied, performing the second operation on the first object.
14 more elements
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- one or more input devices;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying, via the display, a graphic editing interface comprising a plurality of layered objects and a selection component by which one or more of the plurality of layered objects may be selected, wherein the plurality of layered objects comprises a first object and a second object;
- while displaying the graphic editing interface:
- receiving, via one or more input devices, first user input;
- in response to the first user input:
- in accordance with a determination that the first user input corresponds to selection of the second object within the selection component:
- transitioning into a temporary selection mode;
- and
- selecting the second object;
- receiving, via the one or more input devices, second user input directed to a first location where the second object is at least partially visually obstructed by the first object when the second user input is received, wherein the second user input corresponds to a request to perform a first operation on an object at the first location;
- and
- in response to the second user input:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more first criteria are satisfied, performing the second operation on the second object;
- and
- receiving, via the one or more input devices, third user input directed to a second location where the second object is at least partially visually obstructed by the first object when the third user input is received;
- and
- in response to the third user input:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more second criteria are satisfied, performing the second operation on the first object.
