Abstract
In an image processing apparatus which can store a pickuped image file in a new folder, the user's convenience is improved, and the creation of unnecessary folders is suppressed. If a preset condition for the creation of a new folder is satisfied, a new folder is created when a next shooting instruction is issued (S125). Creating a new folder when a shooting is actually performed prevents the creation of an empty folder. In addition, since a folder creation condition can be set in advance, there is no need to execute a sequence of creating a folder for every shooting.
Claims11
An image processing apparatus which records an image file obtained by a shooting into a folder in a recording medium, comprising:
- a setting unit which sets a condition for creating a new folder;
- a determination unit which determines whether or not a current shooting mode is sequenced images shooting;
- and
- a record control unit which controls a recording of image files into a folder of the recording medium,
- wherein:
- in the case where the determination unit determines that the current shooting mode is not the sequenced images shooting mode, the record control unit records, when a shooting has been performed before the condition has been met, an obtained image file into an existing folder that had been set as a recording destination before the condition has been met,
- in the case where the determination unit determines that the current shooting mode is not the sequenced images shooting mode, the record control unit creates, when a shooting has been performed after the condition has been met, a new folder in the recording medium and then records an obtained image file into the new folder, and
- in the case where the determination unit determines that the current shooting mode is the sequenced images shooting mode and the condition has been met during a sequence of shootings being performed, the record control unit does not create a new folder and records a sequence of obtained image files, including image files that are obtained after the condition has been met, into the existing folder that had been set as a recording destination before the condition has been met.
A control method for an image processing apparatus which records an image file obtained by a shooting into a folder in a recording medium, comprising:
- a setting step of setting a condition for creating a new folder;
- a determination step of determining whether or not a current shooting mode is sequenced images shooting;
- and
- a record control step of controlling a recording of image files into a folder of the recording medium
- wherein:
- in the case where the determination step determines that the current shooting mode is not the sequenced images shooting mode, the record control step records, when a shooting has performed before the condition has been met, an obtained image file into an existing folder that had been set as a recording destination before the condition has been met,
- in the case where the determination step determines that the current shooting mode is not the sequenced images shooting mode, the record control unit creates, when a shooting has been performed after the condition has been met, a new folder in the recording medium and then records an obtained image file into the new folder, and
- in the case where the determination step determines that the current shooting mode is the sequenced images shooting mode and the condition has been met during a sequence of shootings being performed, the record control unit does not create a new folder and records a sequence of obtained image files, including image files that are obtained after the condition has been met, into the existing folder that had been set as a recording destination before the condition has been met.
