Abstract
An object of the invention is to freely construct a file processing environment in which when a file is thumbnail displayed, print attributes held in the relevant file can be easily and visually discriminated from the displayed thumbnail. In an information processing apparatus by which a file which holds predetermined attributes can be stored, a CPU obtains image attributes and print attributes from attributes of the file stored in an external storing apparatus, forms a reduction image to which the print attributes are reflected as an image on the basis of the obtained image attributes and print attributes, and displays the formed reduction image to a display apparatus.
Claims27
An information processing apparatus by which a file which holds predetermined attributes is stored in a folder structure, comprising:
- designating means for designating a folder in which said file has been stored;
- obtaining means for obtaining print attributes from said file stored in the folder designated by said designating means;
- forming means for forming an icon which displays said file so that it can be identified and is an image to which said print attributes are reflected as an image on the basis of the print attributes obtained by said obtaining means;
- and
- display control means for displaying said icon formed by said forming means to a display apparatus.
An information processing method in an information processing apparatus by which a file which holds predetermined attributes is stored in a folder structure, comprising:
- a designating step of designating a folder in which said file has been stored;
- an obtaining step of obtaining print attributes from said file stored in the folder designated by said designating step;
- a forming step of forming an icon which displays said file so that it can be identified and is an image to which said print attributes are reflected as an image on the basis of the print attributes obtained by said obtaining step;
- and
- a display control step of displaying said icon formed by said forming step to a display apparatus.
An information processing program which is executed by an information processing apparatus by which a file which holds predetermined attributes is stored in a folder structure, comprising:
- a designating step of designating a folder in which said file has been stored;
- an obtaining step of obtaining print attributes from said file stored in the folder designated by said designating step;
- a forming step of forming an icon which displays said file so that it can be identified and is an image to which said print attributes are reflected as an image on the basis of the print attributes obtained by said obtaining step;
- and
- a display control step of displaying said icon formed by said forming step to a display apparatus.
