Abstract: Conflict resolution of web application keyboard shortcuts implementation includes a web application being loaded in a web browser and application keyboard shortcuts for the web application are registered with the web browser. The web browser identifies application keyboard shortcuts for the web application that conflict with keyboard shortcuts for the web browser. Then the web browser resolves each conflict.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a sentence is created that describes a walk of a graph. The graph includes a set of nodes and a set of edges that are incident to the nodes. The sentence includes label words that describe the nodes and relationship words that describe the edges. The walk is an alternating sequence of a subset of the nodes and of the edges. Each of the edges in the walk is incident to two of the nodes that precede and follow the respective edge. The sentence is created by determining a parent node associated with a selected label word, determining the child nodes of the parent node, determining the edges that are incident to the parent nodes and the child nodes, determining relationship words that describe the edges that are incident to the parent nodes and the child nodes, and determining child label words that describe the child nodes. A selected relationship word and a selected child label word are then added to the sentence. In this way, a walk of the graph may be more easily understood.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing enhanced install performance of a computer system. A user request for an update to be installed is identified. The update to be installed is described by metadata. An installer is provided for installing one or multiple updates. Predefined information for each update to be installed, including any pre-installation operation and post-installation operation required by each update, is processed to provide enhanced install performance.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for displaying a topological graph that allows a user to navigate through a history of previous topology displays to increase the user's understanding and awareness of the state of the topology. In a preferred embodiment, a topology display mechanism receives state changes to a topology of a computer network and stores a sequence of graphs that reflect the changes that are made to the topology. The topology display mechanism also allows the user to step through the sequence of stored topology graphs using “video” type controls to change the display of the topology graphs. In other embodiments, the topology display mechanism displays the changes in the topology as a sequence of graphs that form an animation to give the user a graphical visualization of the changes from one topology graph in the sequence to the next.

Abstract: A page is received, which includes elements. A tree represents the page. A subset of the elements are displayed. In response to selection of an important element, a subtree is created, which includes a path from a root element of the tree to the important element. A changed page is received, which is represented by a changed tree. A second path in the changed tree is found, where a leaf element of the second path is different from the important element in the first path, and where all other elements in the first path and the second path match. A message is displayed, which indicates that the important element was changed. In various embodiments, the message is presented in audio, magnified, or touch form. In this way, the user is notified of changes to the page that the user has selected as important.

Abstract: The present invention generally is directed to a method of associating a label with a component in a graphical user interface panel. The method comprises: displaying an image of the panel containing an image of the component and an image of the label; receiving a set of user inputs selecting the image of the component, the image of the label, and a predefined user action configured to associate the label with the component; and associating the label with the component in response to the set of user inputs.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally are directed to a method of building a graphical user interface panel, which includes the step of: receiving a first set of user inputs selecting the panel and one or more components contained within the panel; using a set of information regarding the panel and components received from a run-time manager to generate an image of the panel and the components; and displaying the image of the panel and the components.

Abstract: A method and a shell extension computer program product for implementing drag and drop operations for large objects without blocking an operating system interface of the computer system. Monitoring for a drop operation by an application is performed by an operating system interface shell. Responsive to an identified drop operation, a transfer structure is sent to the application by the shell extension program. The transfer structure includes a destination directory. Responsive to the application receiving the transfer structure, the data object is transferred to the destination directory and the operating system interface shell is bypassed during the data object transfer.
