ABSTRACT:
A method of providing a graphical user interface includes displaying a graphic representation of a data object at an initial location, receiving a command selecting the data object from a user, moving the graphical representation of the data object towards a destination location upon receiving an indication of the destination location from a user, and causing an at least indirect transition of the object from a first state to a second state at a time when the graphical representation of the data object is positioned substantially at a final destination location. Output enables a user to distinguish the first state from the second state. A first timer is started in response to receiving an indication of a destination location from a user through the interface. The transition from the first state to the second state is automatically caused only after the first timer has run over a pre-determined period of time.
