A method and a computer program product that enable files in a file directory to be queued or marked prior to "sending" the files to a common application. A background operating system (OS) is enhanced by including a set of queue functions/options for selection when a file is selected within a file directory. Among these additional functions/options are "Queue It", "Queue Edit", and "Queue Send To." These queue functions each represent an action item that may be selected to carry out a specific function/operation on/with one or more pre-selected (or queued) files. The "Queue It" function allows the user to mark one or more file(s) or add the file's location and other parameters to a queue. When there is at least one file in the queue, the "Queue Edit" function allows the user to view, sort, and delete files in the queue. Finally, the "Queue Send To" function triggers the import of the queued and/or selected files into the selected application. |
