ABSTRACT:
A method and system for organizing windows associated with an application are described. In one embodiment, a user command pertaining to multiple internal windows is received. The multiple internal windows are contained within a first frame controlled by an application. In response to the user command, a second frame controlled by the application is opened. Further, one or more of the multiple internal windows are moved to the second frame. In one embodiment, the internal windows are moved to the second frame in response to an operation performed by a user (e.g., a drag-and-drop operation). Alternatively, the internal windows are moved to the second frame automatically based on a criterion controlling the organization of the internal frames.
