A system and method is described for editing, in its native application, a
source file of an object or image in a first application, wherein the
source file includes computer-readable code or script associated with the
source file and editable in either the first or native applications. The
first application graphically displays an edit option selectable by the
user to launch the source file's native application. The native
application opens the source file and code or script associated with the
object or image in the first application. Within the workspace of the
native application edit session, an end function or button is displayed
to the user. Upon selection of the end function in the native
application, the user then returns automatically to the first application
as the active application.
