One or more items are selected to be added to a container object in the graphical user interface, such as a folder, by a continuous user action. A graphical user interface screen 100 is displayed including a first icon 120 associated with the container object and one or more second icons (101-111) each associated with an item capable of being added to the container object, such as photos, messages, audio files and text files. A user input is received in the form of a continuous user action, and an elongate entity 150, such as a line or a trace, extending from the first icon to a current location 151 of the user action is displayed. In response to the user action causing an end of the elongate entity to remain in a vicinity of one of the second icons while a predefined selection criterion is satisfied, an item associated with said one of the second icons is selected to be added to the container object. If a loop is formed by the user action, each item enclosed by the loop may be selected to be added to the container object. |
