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.
