Filenames, application names and thumbnail filenames are stored in an indexed file. The indexed file can consist of every document and application used during a session or categorically defined by project or tasks or personal preference. This also stores the application name and path eliminating the need to remember which application last edited the file and where the application is located.Field of SearchUser interactive multicomputer data transfer (e.g., file transfer)Entry field (e.g., text entry field) Multiple users on a single workstation Using button array Selectable iconic array Selection emphasis Scroll tool (e.g., scroll bar) Navigation within structure OPERATOR INTERFACE (E.G., GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE) User navigation between devices Configuration Access rights to interactive controls Interface customization or adaption (e.g., client server) Plural adjacent interactive display devices Graphical or iconic based (e.g., visual program) On-screen workspace or object Customizing multiple diverse workspace objects | |
