Disclosed are systems, methods, devices and computer-readable media for image fetching for timeline scrubbing of digital media. In some implementations, a method comprises: receiving at a first time prior to receiving a scrub command, a first set of scrub images associated with digital media, the first set of scrub images having a first set of positions on a timeline of the digital media; receiving a first scrub command; receiving at a second time after the first time, a second set of scrub images associated with the digital media, the second set of scrub images having a second set of positions on the timeline that fill time gaps in the first set of positions on the timeline; animating, a timeline overlay including the timeline, a playhead and a scrub image window; and selecting a scrub image from the first or second sets of scrub images for presentation in the scrub image window.

Image fetching for timeline scrubbing of digital media

The embodiments set forth techniques for managing storage space in user devices. A storage space manager can be configured to receive a request to increase an available amount of storage space within the user device, identify applications where at least a portion of the application's associated data can be deleted to increase the available storage space, determining particular applications whose identified associated data should be deleted, and causing the associated data to be deleted. According to some embodiments, applications managed by the storage space manager are not adapted to manage storage space themselves. Instead, these applications can be registered to the storage space manager and can be grouped into subsets that share sections of storage space within the user device. Moreover, the storage space manager can be a subsystem storage space manager that interfaces with a higher-level system storage manager that orchestrates storage space management within the user device.

A menu having menu items is arranged in an interface environment. A first abstraction is arranged proximate to the menu, the first abstraction being based on a highlighted menu item. A second abstraction is transitioned into the interface environment upon the occurrence of an event, the second abstraction being proximate to the menu.
