Abstract:
1. A method implemented in a digital processing system, said method comprising: receiving inputs from a user specifying a first experience profile associated with a first electronic file and a second experience profile associated with a second electronic file, each of said first electronic file and said second electronic file containing data representing a corresponding content, an application being enabled to retrieve the corresponding content and facilitate editing of the retrieved content, said first experience profile being provided external to said first electronic file and said second experience profile being provided external to said second electronic file, said first experience profile containing a first set of values for a first set of experience attributes and said second experience profile containing a second set of values for a second set of experience attributes, said first set of experience attributes and said second set of experience attributes containing a common attribute related to displaying corresponding content for editing, said common attribute having a first value of said first set of values which is different from a second value for the same common attribute in said second set of values; providing said user the ability to specify said first experience profile associated with a third electronic file, said third electronic file containing data representing a corresponding content; storing a first entry indicating that said first experience profile is associated with said first electronic file and a second entry indicating that said second experience profile is associated with said second electronic file, both of said first entry and said second entry being stored in a memory and being present in said memory for at least a common duration thereafter, said first entry being stored in response to said user specifying that said first experience profile is associated with said first electronic file and said second entry being stored in response to said user specifying that said second experience profile is associated with said second electronic file; receiving in said application, a first request to open said first electronic file for editing and a second request to open said second electronic file for editing, wherein both of said first request and said second request are received in said common duration after said storing of said first entry and said second entry in said memory, wherein said application retrieves the content of said first electronic file and facilitates editing of the content of said first electronic file upon receipt of said first request, wherein said application retrieves the content of said second electronic file and facilitates editing of the content of said second electronic file upon receipt of said second request; controlling by said application, said first set of experience attributes according to said first set of values based on said first entry in said memory while facilitating said user to edit the content stored in said first electronic file using said application in response to said first request; controlling by said application, said second set of experience attributes according to said second set of values based on said second entry in said memory while facilitating said user to edit the content stored in said second electronic file using said application in response to said second request, wherein the content stored in said first electronic file is displayed for editing using said first value for said common attribute in response to said first request and the content stored in said second electronic file is displayed for editing using said second value for said common attribute in response to said second request, receiving in said application a third request to open said third electronic file; controlling by said application, said first set of experience attributes according to said first set of values while facilitating said user to edit the content stored in said third electronic file; and setting said first set of experience attributes to respective ones of said first set of values as specified in said first experience profile to change the experience while facilitating said user to edit the content stored in each of said first electronic file and said third electronic file, but not while facilitating said user to edit the content stored in said second electronic file.
