Abstract

This invention allows the user to select files to be printed from arbitrary folders, easily designate a folder selected in the past, and confirm data files in the folder, thereby improving the operability of selecting a file to be printed. For this purpose, the display window has a folder view display area for displaying the tree structure of folders, and a file view display area for displaying a list of image data files stored in a folder selected in the folder view display area. When a new folder is selected in the folder view display area, a path representing the location position of the folder is added to the folder list. When a file having a print count of “1” or more exists in the file view display area, the file name and print count of the file are added to a file list associated with a folder list. When a selected-folder view display button is clicked, a list of folders registered in the folder list is displayed. If one of the registered folders is selected, a corresponding folder in the folder view display area is selected, and the file view display area is also updated.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

a specifying unit configured to specify, as a subject to be processed, at least one file stored in at least one of a plurality of folders set in a memory;
and
a display control unit configured to cause a display apparatus to visually display folder information concerning the plurality of folders,
wherein, in a case where a first plurality of the plurality of folders each store at least one specified file, said display control unit causes the display apparatus to visually display the folder information indicating the first plurality of folders that each store at least one specified file with a visual cue that distinguishes the first plurality of folders that each store at least one specified file from a folder which does not store a specified file, and
wherein, in a case where a folder that stores at least one specified file is selected in response to a user's instruction after the folder information is displayed, said display control unit causes the display apparatus to display files stored in the selected folder so that a specified file is displayed with a visual cue that distinguishes the specified file from a file that is not specified.
