Abstract
A method for performing a load-on-demand operation on assigned graphic objects allows a user to load a computer file without the assigned graphic objects to shorten the loading time of the computer file. The assigned graphic objects can be subsequently loaded by the user by activating an “assigned to” object.
Claims14
A method for performing a load-on-demand operation, said method comprising:
- displaying first and second graphic objects on a surface of a computer operating environment;
- assigning by a user said first graphic object to said second object;
- activating a load-on-demand setting for said second graphic object at any time in response to said assigning, said activating being independent of any other load-on-demand settings for other assigned-to graphic objects in said computer operating environment;
- loading a computer file that includes at least one of said other assigned-to graphic objects and said second graphic object without said first graphic object to produce a computer environment having at least one of said other assigned-to graphic objects and said second graphic object;
- activating said second graphic object in said computer environment;
- and
- loading said first graphic object in said computer environment in response to said activating of said second graphic object without loading any graphic objects for said other assigned-to graphic objects.

A storage medium readable by a computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by said computer to perform method steps for performing a load-on-demand operation, said method steps comprising:
- displaying first and second graphic objects on a surface of a computer operating environment;
- assigning by a user said first graphic object to said second object;
- activating a load-on-demand setting for said second graphic object at any time in response to said assigning, said activating being independent of any other load-on-demand settings for other assigned-to graphic objects in said computer operating environment;
- loading a computer file that includes at least one of said other assigned-to graphic objects and said second graphic object without said first graphic object to produce a computer environment having at least one of said other assigned-to graphic objects and said second graphic object;
- activating said second graphic object in said computer environment;
- and
- loading said first graphic object in said computer environment in response to said activating of said second graphic object without loading any graphic objects for said other assigned-to graphic objects.
