File management device and file management method for presuming naming rule of file names
The present invention provides a file management device that makes it possible to assign a file name according to a user's preference. There is provided a file management device includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to: presume a naming rule of the file names based on file names of data files present in a folder; register the naming rule, presumed by the rule presuming section, in a rule storages section in association with the folder; and assign a file name to a data file according to a naming rule associated with a folder in which the data file is present among the naming rules stored in the rule storage section.
1.
A file management device comprising:
a memory;
a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to:
presume, based on file names of data files present in a folder and tag information or attribute information extracted from the data files, a naming rule of the file names of data files in a same folder;
store the presumed naming rule of file names of data files in association with the folder;
select, from among the stored naming rules, the naming rules associated with the folder in which a data file is present and prioritize the selected naming rules based on tag information or attribute information extracted from the data file;
arrange a character string for the tag information or the attribute information extracted from the data file according to the selected naming rules to create a plurality of file name candidates;
arrange and display the plurality of file name candidates in prioritized order;
receive a user input; and
assign a file name to the data file based on the user input.
2.
The file management device according to claim 1 , wherein
the processor is further configured to:
detect a correction made to the file names of the data files by the user input; and
presume, based on the corrected file names, the naming rule associated with the folder in which the data files are present.
3. The file management device according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the data file is moved to a predetermined folder,
the processor is further configured to update the file name of the data file according to a naming rule associated with the predetermined folder.
4. The file management device according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the data file is moved to a predetermined folder,
the processor further configured to store at least one of naming rules, associated with a source folder of the data file, in association with a destination folder of the data file.
5.
The file management device according to claim 1 , wherein
the processor is further configured to:
assign a file name to the data file, the file name being selected by the user input from among the file names presented.
6.
A file management method comprising:
presuming a naming rule of file names of data files in a same folder based on file names of data files present in a folder and tag information or attribute information extracted from the data files;
storing the presumed naming rule of file names of data files in association with the folder;
selecting, from among the stored naming rules, the naming rules associated with the folder in which a data file is present and prioritize the selected naming rules based on tag information or attribute information extracted from the data file;
arranging a character string for the tag information or the attribute information extracted from the data file according to the selected naming rules to create a plurality of file name candidates;
arranging and display the plurality of file name candidates in prioritized order;
receiving a user input; and
assigning a file name to the data file based on the user input.
