Abstract

An image data process apparatus includes a judgment unit and a selection unit. The judgment unit is configured to judge whether or not a directory in which image data is stored is compliant with a DCF standard. The selection unit is configured to select the image data stored in the directory if the directory that has been judged not to be compliant with the DCF standard by the judgment unit. A computer readable medium is encoded with an image data process computer program configured to implement a process of selecting image data that causes a computer to implement a method of selecting image data. Whether or not a directory in which image data is stored is compliant with the DCF standard is judged. The image data stored in the directory that has been judged not to be compliant with the DCF standard during the judging is selected.

Claims (21)

1. An image data process apparatus comprising:

a judgment unit configured to judge whether or not a directory in which image data is stored is compliant with a DCF standard; and

a selection unit configured to select the image data stored in the directory if the directory has been judged not to be compliant with the DCF standard by the judgment unit as image data that a user has edited and wishes to output,

the judgment unit being further configured to judge, about the image data that is stored in the directory compliant with the DCF standard, whether or not the image data employs a predetermined format, and

the selection unit being further configured to select the image data that has been judged not to employ the predetermined format by the judgment unit as image data that the user has edited and wishes to output.

2. An image data process apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the judgment unit is further configured to judge whether or not there is a predetermined correspondence between first related information related to the directory in which the image data is stored and second related information related to Exif data in which the image data is contained if the directory has been judged to be compliant with the DCF standard by the judgment unit, and

the selection unit is further configured to select the image data that has been judged not to have the predetermined correspondence between the first related information and the second related information by the judgment unit.

3. An image data process apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the first related information is name information of the directory in which the image data is stored, and

the second related information is tag information of the Exif data in which the image data is contained.

4. An image data process apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the judgment unit is further configured to judge whether or not the image data employs a predetermined format if the directory has been judged to be compliant with the DCF standard by the judgment unit, and

the selection unit is further configured to select the image data that has been judged not to employ the predetermined format by the judgment unit.

5. An image data process apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

a display unit configured to display the image data selected by the selection unit.

6. A computer readable medium encoded with an image data process computer program configured to implement a process of selecting image data that causes a computer to implement a method of selecting image data, comprising:

judging whether or not a directory in which image data is stored is compliant with the DCF standard; and

selecting the image data stored in the directory that has been judged not to be compliant with the DCF standard during the judging as image data that a user has edited and wishes to output,

further judging, about the image data that is stored in the directory compliant with the DCF standard, whether or not the image data employs a predetermined format; and

further selecting the image data that has been judged not to employ the predetermined format as image data that the user has edited and wishes to output.
