Abstract
In an information processing apparatus, if a target file to be used for job execution, which is stored in a directory, is detected as being dragged and dropped into an icon instructing to execute a job, the directory storing the target file is detected from the target file itself. And a job execution condition applied to the detected directory, which is stored in an execution condition storage, is given to the target file. And then, a controller outputs a job execution instruction to a job execution apparatus, in order to execute a job about the target file under the job execution condition given thereto.
Claims16
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a file storage that is capable of having one or more than one directory storing a target file to be used for job execution;
- an execution condition storage that is capable of storing a job execution condition applied to the directory, which is set in advance;
- a display that is capable of displaying on itself an icon instructing a job execution apparatus to execute a job;
- a drag and drop detector that detects the target file as being dragged and dropped into the icon;
- a directory detector that detects the directory storing the target file, from the target file itself, if the target file is detected as being dragged and dropped into the icon;
- a setting portion that gives to the target file, a job execution condition applied to the directory detected by the directory detector, which is preliminarily stored in the execution condition storage;
- and
- a controller that outputs a job execution instruction to the job execution apparatus, in order to execute a job about the target file under the job execution condition given thereto.
A job execution instructing method comprising:
- detecting a target file to be used for job execution, which is stored in one or more than one directory created in a file storage, as being dragged and dropped into an icon instructing a job execution apparatus to execute a job, displayed on a display;
- detecting a directory storing the target file, from the target file itself, if the target file is detected as being dragged and dropped into the icon;
- giving to the target file, a job execution condition applied to the detected directory, which is preliminarily stored in an execution condition storage;
- and
- outputting a job execution instruction to the job execution apparatus, in order to execute a job about the target file under the job execution condition given thereto.
A computer readable recording medium storing in itself a job execution instructing program to make a computer execute:
- detecting a target file to be used for job execution, which is stored in one or more than one directory created in a file storage, as being dragged and dropped into an icon instructing a job execution apparatus to execute a job, displayed on a display;
- detecting a directory storing the target file, from the target file itself, if the target file is detected as being dragged and dropped into the icon;
- giving to the target file, a job execution condition applied to the detected directory, which is preliminarily stored in a job execution condition storage;
- and
- outputting a job execution instruction to the job execution apparatus, in order to execute a job about the target file under the job execution condition given thereto.
