Electronic device and file manipulation method

A file manipulation method comprising:

• detecting a user manipulation on a file or file folder, and determining whether the user manipulation on the file or file folder is a moving manipulation;
• reading a directory structure of each drive from a storage unit when detecting that the user manipulation on the file or file folder is the moving manipulation, determining a maximum folder depth of the directory structure of the one or more drives, and further controlling to display a user interface showing the directory structure with the maximum folder depth, wherein the user interface comprises a plurality of concentric circles form a plurality of circular rings, the number of the circular rings corresponds to the maximum folder depth of the directory structure, the concentric circles are divided into one or more sectors corresponding to the number of the one or more drives in the storage unit, each of the sectors represents one of the one or more drives and is divided into a plurality of ring portions by the plurality of circular rings, and each ring portion of the sectors represents a layer of the directory structure of a corresponding one of the one or more drive, a first ring portion of each circular sector represents the root layer of the directory structure of the corresponding drive, an icon in the center of the concentric circles represents the manipulated file or file folder;
• detecting the user manipulation in the user interface, and determining a position where the icon is dragged to is a target position when detecting that the user manipulation is dragging the icon to the position in one of the ring portion of the one or more sectors;
• and
• moving the manipulated file or file folder to a target drive or file folder corresponding to the target position.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor of an electronic device, causing the electronic device to perform a file manipulation method, the method comprising:

• detecting a user manipulation on a file or file folder, and determining whether the user manipulation on the file or file folder is a moving manipulation;
• reading a directory structure of each drive from a storage unit when detecting that the user manipulation on the file or file folder is the moving manipulation, determining a maximum folder depth of the directory structure of the one or more drives, and further controlling to display a user interface showing the directory structure with the maximum folder depth, wherein the user interface comprises a plurality of concentric circles form a plurality of circular rings, the number of the circular rings corresponds to the maximum folder depth of the directory structure, the concentric circles are divided into one or more sectors corresponding to the number of the one or more drives in the storage unit, each of the sectors represents one of the one or more drives and is divided into a plurality of ring portions by the plurality of circular rings, and each ring portion of the sectors represents a layer of the directory structure of a corresponding one of the one or more drive, a first ring portion of each sector represents the root layer of the directory structure of the corresponding drive, an icon in the center of the concentric circles represents the manipulated file or file folder;
• detecting the user manipulation in the user interface, and determining a position where the icon is dragged to is a target position when detecting that the user manipulation is dragging the icon to the position in one of the ring portion of the one or more sectors;
• and
• moving the manipulated file or file folder to a target drive or file folder corresponding to the target position.
