Abstract
A computer file management system allowing at least one of one file (F1) and/or one directory (D3) to belong to two or more directories (D1, D2). The file management system is characterized in that a file or directory specified by an operator of the computer or the program operating on the computer as an object to be operated has all the directories present on the directory path as parent directories. This system is a novel file management system capable of classifying/organizing files and directories more easily and naturally in the conventional system without requiring additional operation.
Claims6
An operation object display limiting program performing:
- a first step of determining whether there is a parent-child relationship between a file and a directory to be operated in a working directory;
- and, if it is determined at said first step that there is a parent-child relationship, the step of selecting the parent directory as an object to be displayed and excluding the unselected child file from display.
An operation object display limiting program performing the steps of:
- determining whether there is a parent-child relationship between a file having as parent directories all directories on a directory path and a directory having as parent directories all directories on said directories path;
- and, if it is determined at said first step that there is a parent-child relationship, selecting the parent directory as an object to be displayed and excluding the unselected child file from display.
An operation object display limiting program performing the steps of:
- determining whether there is a parent-child relationship between a file and a directory to be operated in a working directory;
- if it is determined that there is a parent-child relationship, selecting the parent directory as an object to be displayed and excluding the unselected child file from display;
- determining whether there is a parent-child relationship between child directories that are candidates objects to be operated;
- and if it is determined that there is a parent-child relationship, selecting only the parent directory as an object to be displayed and excluding the child directories from display.
An operation object limiting program performing the steps of:
- determining whether there is a parent-child relationship between a file having as parent directories all directories on a directory path and a directory having as parent directories all directories on said directory path;
- and if it is determined at said determination step that there is a parent-child relationship, selecting the parent directory as an object to be displayed and excluding the selected child file from display;
- determining whether there is a parent-child relationship with a directory having as parent directories all directories on said directory path;
- and if it is determined at said determination step that there is a parent-child relationship, selecting the parent directory as an object to be displayed and excluding the child directory from display.
A recording medium on which a data structure representing a parent-child relationship between one of one file and one directory and two or more directories is recorded, said data being referred to in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium which stores a program of a file management system in a computer, said file management system allowing at least one of one file and/or one directory to belong to two or more directories, wherein a file or directory specified by an operator of said computer or a program running on said computer as an object to be operated has all directories on its directory path as parent directories by means of extracting the directory path as the directory string between a root directory and the object from a parameter which is given by an operator or program;
- and a difference in the order in which the directories are listed in a directory string does not affect the directories or files to be operated, and finding an object whose parent directories include all directories making said directory path but not necessarily requiring the parent-child relationship between said directories except for the object to be operated.
