More Information
Summary:Techniques and apparatuses for content transfers to non-running targets in a multi-application environment are described herein. An input can be detected to relocate a content item exposed within a graphical user interface for the multi-application environment. The relocation associates the content item with a target element that initiates one or more designated actions with respect to the content item by invoking a corresponding application currently in a non-running state. The input to relocate the content item includes the content item being placed at an intermediate holding place that is displayed within the graphical user interface, and the content item being copied from the intermediate holding place to the target element. In response to the detected input, the content item is associated with the target element and the corresponding application is launched, switching from the non-running state to an active state in which the one or more designated actions are performed.
