ABSTRACT:
A method, system, and computer-readable code for decoupling data structure updates from a user-manipulable view of the data structure that is presented to the user in a graphical user interface. The data structure updates are buffered, and applied selectively, enabling the user to manipulate the data structure without interference from the update process. Preferably, the presentation of the items in the view indicates graphically that updates are pending (e.g. through use of a distinguishable font or icon). The update process may be triggered by user request, timer-driver means, or other user-configurable event(s). The update process may include use of one or more display filters, that serve to limit what is shown to the user in the resulting updated view. This filtering will be particularly useful for devices that have a limited amount of display space.
