  • Patent number: 7907187
    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.
