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(s) of action is to be taken should the selected object be dropped onto the target object. The action(s) 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 persisted 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 persisted 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.

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for performing steps comprising: responsive to detecting a first request to associate a first object with a folder in a graphical user interface, presenting to a user one of feedback that the first ob
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for performing steps comprising: responsive to detecting a first request to associate a first object with a folder in a graphical user interface, presenting to a user one of feedback that the first object will be moved into the folder or feedback that the first object will be copied into the folder as a result of the first request to associate the first object with the folder and either moving the first object into the folder or copying the first object into the folder; responsive to detecting a second request to associate a second object with a list in the graphical user interface, presenting feedback to a user that a shortcut will be added to the second object in the list as a result of the second request to associate the second object with the list and adding a shortcut to the second object in the list; and responsive to detecting a third request to associate a third object with a persisted auto-list in the graphical user interface, presenting feedback to a user that a property will be added, removed, or modified as a result of the third request to associate the third object with the persisted auto-list and conforming one of an intrinsic property associated with the third object or an intrinsic property of a copy of the third object in a manner that depends on a criterion defined by the persisted auto-list, wherein the persisted auto-list is a dynamic list containing a set of objects that meet one or more criteria associated with the list and wherein the set of objects in the persisted auto-list automatically changes in accordance with a change in properties of various objects and wherein the intrinsic property is a property that is stored with the item. 2. The computer-executable instructions of claim 1, wherein the third object is outside a scope of the persisted auto-list, wherein the step of conforming further includes copying the third object to generate the copy of the third object, and wherein the copy of the third object is located within the scope of the persisted auto-list. 3. The computer-executable instructions of claim 1, wherein the first, second, and third objects are each an item. 4. The computer-executable instructions of claim 1, wherein the first, second, and third objects are each a folder containing an item, and wherein the property is an intrinsic property of the item. 5. The computer-executable instructions of claim 1, wherein the first, second, and third objects are each a list referencing an item, and wherein the property is an intrinsic property of the item. 6. The computer-executable instructions of claim 1, wherein the first request is a drop operation of the first object onto the folder, the second request is a drop operation of the second object onto the list, and the third request is a drop operation of the third object onto the persisted auto-list. 7. The computer-executable instructions of claim 1, wherein the first request is a paste operation of the first object to the folder, the second request is a paste operation of the second object to the list, and the third request is a paste operation of the third object to the persisted auto-list. 8. The computer-executable instructions of claim 1, wherein the computer-executable instructions are further for: responsive to a drag operation of the first object over the folder, generating a first icon for display; responsive to a drag operation of the second object over the list, generating a second icon for display, wherein the second icon is different from the first icon; and responsive to a drag operation of the third object over the persisted auto-list, generating a third icon for display, wherein the third icon is different from the first and second icons. 9. A computing device comprising: one or more processing units; and a computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processing units, the computer-readable storage medium storing computer- executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processing units perform operations comprising: (1) responsive to detecting a first request to associate a first object with a folder in a graphical user interface, presenting to a user one of feedback that the first object will be moved into the folder or feedback that the first object will be copied into the folder as a result of the first request to associate the first object with the folder and either moving the first object into the folder or copying the first object into the folder; (2) responsive to detecting a second request to associate a second object with a list in the graphical user interface, presenting feedback to a user that a shortcut will be added to the second object in the list as a result of the second request to associate the second object with the list and adding a shortcut to the second object in the list; and (3) responsive to detecting a third request to associate a third object with a persisted auto-list in the graphical user interface, presenting feedback to a user that a property will be added, removed, or modified as a result of the third request to associate the third object with the persisted auto-list and conforming one of an intrinsic property associated with the third object or an intrinsic property of a copy of the third object in a manner that depends on a criterion defined by the persisted auto-list, wherein the persisted auto-list is a dynamic list containing a set of objects that meet one or more criteria associated with the list and wherein the set of objects in the persisted auto-list automatically changes in accordance with a change in properties of various objects and wherein the intrinsic property is a property that is stored with the item. 10. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the third object is outside a scope of the persisted auto-list, wherein the step of conforming further includes copying the third object to generate the copy of the third object, and wherein the copy of the third object is located within the scope of the persisted auto-list. 11. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the first, second, and third objects are each an item. 12. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the first, second, and third objects are each a folder containing an item, and wherein the property is an intrinsic property of the item. 13. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the first, second, and third objects are each a list referencing an item, and wherein the property is an intrinsic property of the item. Image Page 17 14. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the first request is a drop operation of the first object onto the folder, the second request is a drop operation of the second object onto the list, and the third request is a drop operation of the third object onto the persisted auto-list. 15. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the first request is a paste operation of the first object to the folder, the second request is a paste operation of the second object to the list, and the third request is a paste operation of the third object to the persisted auto-list. 16. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the computer- executable instructions are further for: responsive to a drag operation of the first object over the folder, generating a first icon for display; responsive to a drag operation of the second object over the list, generating a second icon for display, wherein the second icon is different from the first icon; and responsive to a drag operation of the third object over the persisted auto- list, generating a third icon for display, wherein the third icon is different from the first and second icons.
