FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: in an electronic file system, preview information is provided to the user during a drag operation of a selected object onto a target object. The information indicates what type of action is to be taken should the selected object be dropped onto the target object. The action to be taken may depend upon the type of the selected object and/or the type of the target object. For example, where the selected object is an item and the target object is a stored auto-list, the action may include adding, removing, or modifying one or more properties of the selected object to conform to one or more criteria defined by the stored auto-list. Also, numerical feedback may be provided to the user where multiple objects are selected. For example, where seven objects are selected, the textual number "7" may appear next to the cursor.
EFFECT: broader functional capabilities owing to providing the user with preview information during a drag operation of a selected object.
