Description

Method for centrally pasting files, computing equipment and storage medium

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of operating system technologies, and in particular, to a method, a computing device, and a storage medium for centrally pasting files.

Background

In the process of using an operating system, users increasingly need to copy and paste files under different directories.

According to the copy and paste function provided by the current mainstream operating system, the copy and paste of the file can be realized only between two directories, namely, the file can be copied from one directory and the file can be pasted into the other directory. When a user needs to copy files under a plurality of directories and paste the files to another directory, the files under a single directory can be copied and pasted each time, so that the files under the plurality of directories can be copied and pasted only by switching back and forth between different directories. For example, if a user needs to copy a file from the A, B directory to the C directory, the file needs to be copied from the a directory first and then switched to the C directory for pasting, and then the file needs to be copied from the B directory and then switched to the C directory for pasting, which results in a cumbersome process of copying and pasting files across directories. Moreover, when the operating system is logged off or powered off, the copied content will disappear, which greatly affects the user experience.

In an embodiment in accordance with the invention, the operating system 120 of the computing device 100 is configured to perform a method 200 of centrally pasting files in accordance with the invention. The operating system 120 of the computing device 100 includes a plurality of program instructions for executing the method 200 for centrally pasting files of the present invention, and these program instructions may instruct the processor to execute the method 200 for centrally pasting files of the present invention, so that the computing device 100 can perform the method 200 for centrally pasting files of the present invention to realize the cumulative copying and centrally pasting of files under a plurality of directories.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the kernel of the operating system 120 is deployed with a file manager, which includes a plurality of program instructions for executing the method 200 for centrally pasting files of the present invention, so that the method 200 for centrally pasting files of the present invention can be executed in the file manager.

FIG. 2 illustrates a flow diagram of a method 200 of centrally pasting files, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The method 200 of centrally pasting files may be performed in an operating system of a computing device, such as the computing device 100 described above.

It should be noted that the method 200 for centrally pasting files according to the present invention can be performed in a variety of operating systems, and the present invention is not limited to a specific kind of operating system.

As shown in fig. 2, the method 200 begins at step S210.

In step S210, receiving the cumulative copy operation of the user on the plurality of files under the plurality of directories, acquiring file information of the plurality of files and storing the file information in the cumulative copy configuration file.

It should be noted that, according to the embodiment of the present invention, in one accumulation copy operation process, a user may perform an accumulation copy operation on multiple files stored in different directories across directories. Specifically, a user may open a directory and select one or more files under the directory for an accumulative copy operation, then may enter another directory and select one or more files under another directory for an accumulative copy operation, and so on, may enter multiple directories in sequence and perform an accumulative copy operation on the files under each directory. And for the operating system, respectively receiving the accumulated copying operation of the user on one or more files in each directory, wherein for the accumulated copying operation of the user on each file in different directories, the operating system responds to the accumulated copying operation of the user on the file, acquires the file information of the file, and adds the file information of the file to an accumulated copying configuration file. In this way, the operating system can receive the accumulated copy operation of the user on the plurality of files under the plurality of directories, respectively acquire the file information of each file, and store the file information of each file in the accumulated copy configuration file.

In one embodiment, before performing step S210, the operating system creates an accumulated copy profile for recording file information of all accumulated copy files in advance. In this way, by storing the file information of the accumulated copy file selected by the user each time the accumulated copy operation is performed in the accumulated copy configuration file, the accumulated paste operation for the accumulated copy file can be subsequently performed based on the file information in the accumulated copy configuration file.

In one embodiment, the file information for each file stored in the accumulated replication profile includes a file type and a file path. In the process of receiving the accumulative copy operation of a user on a plurality of files under a plurality of directories, an operating system respectively receives the accumulative copy operation of the user on one or a plurality of files under each directory, judges whether the file information of each file is stored in the accumulative copy configuration file or not by comparing the file path (namely, comparing the file path of the current accumulative copy file with the file path in the file information stored in the accumulative copy configuration file) of each file which is subjected to accumulative copy, and if the file information of the file is not stored in the accumulative copy configuration file, additionally stores the file information of the file in the accumulative copy configuration file. If it is determined that the file information of the file is already stored in the accumulated copy configuration file (the same file information is matched in the accumulated copy configuration file), the file information of the file does not need to be additionally stored at this time.

In one implementation, the cumulative replication profile may be implemented as a.con profile including a CopyFile field, a FileType field, and a FilePath field. The CopyFile field is used to record file information of all files that are cumulatively copied, the FileType field is used to record file type information of each file that is cumulatively copied, and the FilePath field is used to record a file path of each file that is cumulatively copied.

See, for example, the example of an accumulated replication profile shown below:

it should be noted that, after completing the operation of cumulatively copying the plurality of files under the plurality of directories, the user may enter the target directory to be cumulatively pasted, so as to paste the plurality of files cumulatively copied under the target directory.

Subsequently, in step S220, the operating system receives the user 'S cumulative paste operation on the plurality of files (the aforementioned cumulative-copied plurality of files) under the target directory, and in response to the user' S cumulative paste operation on the plurality of files under the target directory, pastes the plurality of files under the target directory according to the file information in the cumulative-copy configuration file.

Here, the target directory may be implemented as an arbitrary directory, and the user may select to enter the arbitrary directory to collectively paste a plurality of files that have been previously cumulatively copied. The order in which the files are pasted may be kept the same as the order in which the copied files are accumulated as described above. In addition, if a duplicate name with a file in the target directory occurs during the process of accumulating the pasted files, whether to replace the file, coexist the file, or cancel the pasting of the file may be selected by the user.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the operation of the user on the cumulative paste of the plurality of files in the target directory, the operating system obtains the cumulative copy configuration file, where only the file information of the plurality of files in the plurality of directories that are cumulatively copied in step S210 is stored in the cumulative copy configuration file. The operating system successively reads each piece of file information in the accumulated copy configuration file, then acquires a file based on a file path in the file information and pastes the file to the target directory, so that the file corresponding to each piece of file information in the accumulated copy configuration file can be finally pasted to the target directory, and the accumulated pasting of the plurality of files under the plurality of directories which are accumulated and copied in step S210 to the same target directory is realized.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment according to the present invention, the accumulating copy operation further includes accumulating cut operation. For the accumulative cutting operation, after receiving the accumulative cutting operation of a plurality of files by a user under a plurality of directories, the operating system also executes the method to acquire the file information of the plurality of files and stores the file information in the accumulative copy configuration file of the operating system. And then, after receiving the cumulative pasting operation of the user on the files in the target directory, responding to the cumulative pasting operation of the user on the files in the target directory, and pasting the files to the target directory according to the file information in the cumulative copying configuration file. In addition, for the add-up cut operation, after a plurality of files are pasted to the target directory, the plurality of files need to be deleted from the original directories corresponding to the respective files.

In one embodiment of the present invention, in the process of performing cumulative replication on a plurality of files under a plurality of directories, file information of each file is successively added to the emptied cumulative replication configuration file so as to store the file information of each file of the cumulative replication. After the cumulative paste operation in step 220 is performed and the files in the directories are pasted to the target directories, the file information in the current cumulative copy configuration file is removed, so that the file information of each file which is cumulatively copied next time is recorded again in the cumulative copy configuration file after the cumulative copy operation for the files in the directories is received next time, that is, the file information of the files which are cumulatively copied next time is stored in the cumulative copy configuration file.

It should also be noted that the file information already stored in the accumulated copy configuration file is always retained until it is cleared, and the file information in the accumulated copy configuration file is not lost even in the case of logout, shutdown, and reboot of the operating system. Therefore, after the operating system is restarted, the files which are subjected to the last accumulation copying can still be subjected to accumulation pasting based on the file information in the accumulation copying configuration files.

According to one embodiment of the invention, when the user performs the accumulation pasting operation on a plurality of files under the target directory, the files can be selectively pasted based on the preset file type, namely, the files of the preset file type are selected for accumulation pasting.

Specifically, in step 220, the operating system may receive a user selection of an add-on-paste operation for a file of a predetermined file type of the plurality of files under the target directory. For example, the predetermined file type is a picture file. Subsequently, the operating system acquires the accumulated copy configuration file, acquires one or more pieces of file information including a predetermined file type (i.e., file information of one or more files belonging to the predetermined file type) from the accumulated copy configuration file, and pastes the corresponding one or more files of the predetermined file type under the target directory based on the one or more pieces of file information (file path) including the predetermined file type.

Specifically, whether the file type in the file information is a predetermined file type is determined by traversing each piece of file information in the copy configuration file, and if the file type is the predetermined file type and the predetermined file type is included in the file information, pasting a file of the corresponding predetermined file type under the target directory based on a file path in the file information.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the file types comprise, for example, one or more of music files, picture files, video files, text files, directory files. That is, the file types of the plurality of files that are copied at a time of accumulation may include one or more of a music file, a picture file, a video file, a text file, and a directory file.

When the user selects to perform the cumulative paste operation on the files of the predetermined file type under the target directory, the predetermined file type can be any one of music files, picture files, video files, text files and directory files.

In addition, in one embodiment, the user may add a custom file type, which may include, for example, a file timestamp, a file size, and the like, and may use the custom file type as a predetermined file type when the file is pasted, so as to selectively paste the file based on information such as the file timestamp, the file size, and the like. In this way, selective pasting of files according to the actual needs of the user can be achieved.

In one embodiment, when the plurality of files includes a directory file, when file information of the plurality of files that are cumulatively copied is acquired and stored in the cumulative copy configuration file, for each directory file, file information of one or more sub-files in the directory file is further acquired and the file information of the one or more sub-files is stored in the cumulative copy configuration file.

In one implementation, the cumulative copy operation may be specifically implemented as: triggering operation of a menu option or a shortcut key for cumulative copying. Specifically, after a user selects a file to be subjected to accumulation copying under each directory, the user can perform accumulation copying operation on the selected file by triggering a menu option for accumulation copying or triggering a preset shortcut key for accumulation copying. It should be noted that the menu option or the shortcut key for the accumulation cutting operation may be separately set, differently from the menu option or the shortcut key for the accumulation copying operation. The cumulative shearing operation may be specifically implemented as: and triggering a menu option or a shortcut key for accumulating the cut.

The cumulative paste operation may be specifically implemented as: and triggering menu options or shortcut keys for accumulating and pasting. Specifically, after entering the target directory, the user may perform an accumulative paste operation on a plurality of files which are subjected to accumulative copy by triggering a menu option for accumulative paste or triggering a preset shortcut key for accumulative paste.

Fig. 3 illustrates a state diagram when an accumulative copy operation is performed under a directory according to one embodiment of the present invention, fig. 4 illustrates a state diagram after an accumulative copy operation is performed under a directory according to one embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 5 illustrates a state diagram when an accumulative paste operation is performed under a directory according to one embodiment of the present invention. The directories shown in the figure include, for example, text files (new text. txt and text. doc), music files (song. mp3), and video files (video. mkv).

In one implementation, as shown in fig. 3, when a user performs an accumulative copy operation on files in any directory (e.g., directory a), after one or more files are selected, the menu interface may be called, for example, after one or more files are selected in any directory, the menu interface may be called by clicking a right button of a mouse, so that the menu interface pops up and is displayed on the interface of the current directory. The menu interface comprises a menu option for accumulation copying and a menu option for accumulation pasting. Subsequently, the user may trigger a menu option for cumulative copying by a click operation at the menu interface to send a cumulative copy operation to the operating system for the selected one or more files under the directory.

As shown in fig. 4, after receiving the cumulative copy operation of the user on at least one file, the operating system further displays a menu option for "clear cumulative copy" on the menu interface. The user can realize the clearing of the current accumulated copied file by triggering the menu option for clearing the accumulated copied file so as to record the information of the accumulated copied file again. In addition, the user can also clear the current accumulated copied file by triggering a preset shortcut key for clearing the accumulated copied file. That is, the user may send a clear operation for the currently accumulated copied file by triggering a menu option or a shortcut key for clearing the accumulated copy, and the operating system may receive the clear operation for the currently accumulated copied file by the user and then clear all file information currently stored in the accumulated copy configuration file.

The operating system may respond to a user's cumulative paste operation on the file after receiving a user's cumulative copy operation on at least one file. In one implementation, as shown in fig. 5, after entering the target directory, when the user performs the add-and-paste operation, the user may call up the menu interface by clicking a right mouse button on the target directory interface, so that the menu interface pops up and is displayed on the interface of the target directory. The menu interface comprises a menu option for accumulation copying and a menu option for accumulation pasting. Subsequently, the user can trigger a menu option for cumulative paste by clicking on the menu interface to send a cumulative paste operation for one or more files to the operating system.

Further, the operating system, upon receiving the cumulative paste operation on the files, displays a file type option interface that includes an option to paste files of each file type (e.g., "paste picture file only," "paste text file only," "paste directory file only"), and an option to paste all files. The user can request the operating system to perform the accumulation paste operation on the files of the preset file type by triggering the option of pasting the preset file type on the file type option interface. In addition, the user can also request the operating system to perform the cumulative paste operation on all the files which are cumulatively copied by triggering an option of pasting all the files on a file type option interface.

After the menu interface is displayed, for the operating system, receiving a paste operation of a user on a file of a predetermined file type in the plurality of files under the target directory can be realized by the following steps:

and receiving the triggering operation of the user on the menu options for cumulative pasting on the menu interface, and responding to the triggering operation on the menu options for cumulative pasting, and displaying a file type option interface on the target directory interface. And then, receiving a trigger operation of pasting a preset file type option in a file type option interface by a user.

In addition, the user can also realize the accumulation pasting operation on all files which are subjected to accumulation copying or the accumulation pasting operation on the files of the preset file type by triggering a shortcut key which is preset for accumulation pasting.

According to the method for collectively pasting the files, in the process of copying and pasting the files once, the files can be subjected to accumulated copying operation under a plurality of directories, file information of each file subjected to accumulated copying is stored in an accumulated copying configuration file, and the files subjected to accumulated copying can be accumulated and pasted under the target directories based on the file information recorded in the accumulated copying configuration file. Therefore, the invention can realize that the files are copied for multiple times across the directory hierarchy and are pasted in the same directory in a centralized manner, and improves the operation experience and the copying and pasting efficiency of the user when the files are copied and pasted. Further, after the plurality of files are cumulatively copied, the user may select to paste a file belonging to a predetermined file type by acquiring file information conforming to the predetermined file type from the cumulatively copied configuration file so as to selectively paste one or more files of the predetermined file type. The preset file type can be any one of file types, and can also be a file type set by a user in a self-defining way, so that the files can be selectively pasted according to the actual requirements of the user.
