Methods, systems, and media to test a code segment of a source file are disclosed. Various embodiments machine-render a source code skeleton in response to a selection of the code segment, incorporate the code segment into the source code skeleton to generate a temporary source file, insert a monitoring statement into the temporary source file, and compile the temporary source file into a compiled program to output a result. Embodiments may further include executing the compiled program and outputting the result. In addition, some embodiments also initiate compilation of the temporary source file, attempt to resolve a compilation error, and output the compilation error. Some embodiments terminate execution in response to selection of a cancel button. Further, some embodiments delete the temporary source file. Several embodiments also include a file creator, a code gatherer, a code generator, an adaptive compiler, a processor, and an output device.

A method and device for executing multiple operations on different files displayed on a graphical user interface. A pre-defined combination of keys is assigned a particular operation, such as “Delete,” “Copy,” “Move,” etc. As a first combination of keys is engaged, one or more files are selected, using a pointing device such as a mouse. The selected files are color-coded, indicating a first operation to be performed on the selected files. A second combination of keys is then engaged, and a second operation is assigned to other selected files. When satisfied that the selected operations are correct for all of the selected files, a user then executes the operations by depressing the “Enter” or similar key. By viewing different operations for different files before the operations are executed, a user is given an overview of all operations to be applied to all selected files, thus improving file management.

A method for managing invitations to one or more events includes identifying an attribute required to perform an event. An invitation may be created so that invitees are selected according to the identified attribute required to perform the event. At least one person associated with a attribute may then be invited to attend the event. An invitation is sent to one or more persons associated with the attribute.

An infrastructure for handling the administration of possible and mandatory input arguments at runtime for software program code. A user alterable argument descriptor file (ADF) stores all information related to input and output arguments for a software program and its constituent subpieces. During invocation of a software program, all command line flags and values are validated against the ADF, and valid pairs are stored in a key/value dictionary which is passed to the software program. Each subpiece of the software program may then access its needed arguments from the dictionary independently of other subpieces, thereby allowing modifications to subpieces which require new or changed arguments without the need to recompile the entire software program.

A method, system and computer program product for improving efficiency of file receipt in a communication program by redirecting a file received as the result of a file request to a mail server is disclosed. A communication program sends a request for a first file to a file server. The communication program then waits a length of time to receive that first file. If the set length of time for waiting for the first file expires before the first file is received, the user interface of the communications program is released to request additional files while a background process waits for the first file. Then, once the background process receives the first file, the background process encapsulates the first file in a message and transmits the message to a target address.

A system, apparatus and method of pre-fetching data are provided. When a first piece of information is being displayed to a user, the system, apparatus and method determine whether a second piece of information is data-intensive. If the second piece of information is data-intensive, it is pre-fetched into a cache. To implement the invention, however, the application program used to display the information to the user is first parsed for embedded database query calls. If the application program provides the information to the user in a number of succeeding panels, each piece of code representing a panel will be individually parsed. Each query call is identified as selectable or un-selectable. A selectable query call is a call that is used to fetch a piece of data-intensive information; whereas an un-selectable query call is a call that is used to fetch non-data-intensive information. Each selectable call is entered in its respective panel in a table, which is divided into the same number of panels. This allows the system, apparatus and method to determine whether a second piece of information is data-intensive and thus pre-fetch the data for caching.
