Abstract
A constrained user interface for selecting and creating categories (e.g., folders, properties) is provided in such a way as to prevent the creation of empty categories, or categories which are not associated with any underlying object or file. The user interface selectively enables and disables a remove category button, and also selectively enables and disables existing categories for selection.
