The effect of folder structure on personal file navigation
2010
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology
Finally, we used a predictive model to formulate the effect of folder depth and folder size on retrieval time, and suggested an optimization point in this trade-off. 3 Personal file navigation (navigation ...
In contrast to previous research that focused on file structure alone, our study also quantitatively investigated file navigation retrieval in a natural setting, and examined the effect of structure on ...

Mac Users Do It Differently: the Role of Operating System and Individual Differences in File Management
2020
Extended Abstracts of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems
Despite much discussion in HCI research about how individual differences likely determine computer users' personal information management (PIM) practices, the extent of the influence of several important ...
We therefore analyse data from prior CHI work to explore (1) associations of people's file collections with personality and spatial ability, and (2) differences between collections managed with different ...
Acknowledgements The authors thank the many participants for their time and effort, and Charles-Antoine Julien for his feedback. ...

TagTree: Storing and Re-finding Files Using Tags
[chapter]
2011
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Although desktop search engines are now widely available on the computers of typical users, navigation through folder hierarchies is still the dominant mode of information access. ...
This paper describes TagTree, a new concept for storing and retrieving files and folders using tagging and automatically maintained navigational hierarchies. ...
Instead of providing a special search interface, TagTree provides an alternative navigational folder structure based on user-supplied tags. ...

The ubiquitous digital file: A review of file management research
2019
Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology
Computer users spend time every day interacting with digital files and folders, including downloading, moving, naming, navigating to, searching for, sharing, and deleting them. ...
Such file management has been the focus of many studies across various fields, but has not been explicitly acknowledged nor made the focus of dedicated review. ...
Acknowledgements The authors thank Jamshid Beheshti, Rob Capra, Ilja Frissen, Ben Hanrahan, Maja Krtaliç, and Shane McIntyre for their comments on drafts of this manuscript. ...

Improving navigation-based file retrieval
2013
Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - CHI '13
Navigating through a file hierarchy is one of the most common methods for accessing files, yet it can be slow and repetitive. ...
We introduce three interfaces that augment standard file browsers based on each of these goals: Icon Highlights give greater prominence to predicted items in the current folder; Hover Menus provide shortcuts ...

A personal information management scheme using shared labels and implication links
2012
Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology
The tree-based file management scheme is universally deployed as a personal information management approach; however, it has several weaknesses. ...
We also present a mockup of a prototype application for browsing information repositories based on the new scheme. ...
Clearly, the existence of some sort of navigable structure is useful. However, we have identified a number of problems with the tree-based approach. ...

Spatial interactive visualization on small screen
2005
Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Human computer interaction with mobile devices & services - MobileHCI '05
The amount of data stored in personal digital devices increases rapidly as their memory capacities increase. ...
We focus on interactive visualization, with a document manager as a target application. We present the design factors and a simulated application running on a desktop computer. ...
In our model, the navigation is not restricted by the folder structure, but the navigation occurs on spatial level. ...

Interacting with computers
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS • Folders are often considered an unwelcome legacy of physical information technologies. • Views of folder structures can offer valuable perspectives on personal information in themselves ...
, independent of the content of the files they contain. • Folders can be strongly intertwined with the process of information work, both in the computer and in the mind of the worker. • Search and recency-based ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors wish to acknowledge Prof. Alan Dix for the invaluable advice he gave on the design and development of this research. ...

Social navigation as a model for usable security
2005
Proceedings of the 2005 symposium on Usable privacy and security - SOUPS '05
Drawing on a previous study of security in the Kazaa peer to peer system, we present some examples of the ways in which social navigation can be incorporated in support of usable security. ...
In this paper, we discuss the use of the social navigation paradigm as a way of organizing visual displays of system action. ...
In this model, folders retain their use in the file-structure as containers of files and (optionally) other folders. ...

Personal Information Management
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Meta-level activities such as maintaining, organizing, and managing the flow of information focus on the mapping itself. ...
Personal Information Management (PIM) refers to the practice and the study of the activities a person performs in order to acquire or create, store, organize, maintain, retrieve, use, and distribute information ...
Likewise, since people must initially place a file into a folder (unless they accept a "My Documents" default), navigation to the folder is a first choice of return to the file. ...

A user study (N=16) with realistic folder exploration tasks shows that activity views have a significant effect on the accuracy and confidence of users in workspace awareness tasks, while shadow files ...
These folder views are enhanced based on a new concept of shadow files which act as placeholders for files that have been moved or renamed. ...
In the domain of personal file sharing, providing information on file provenance, i.e. on the history of ownership and operations performed on the file [8, 15] , is considered a key factor for improving ...
