Abstract

Information on the folder structure existing in a recording medium is recorded in an EEPROM built into an electronic camera. When the recording medium is replaced, it is asked whether or not to create in the replacing recording medium folders of the same structure as those in the replaced recording medium, and when such creation is selected, folders of the same structure as those in the replaced recording medium are created in the replacing recording medium on the basis of information recorded in the EEPROM.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus which records data on a replaceable recording medium comprising:

a folder information recording device which records information of folder structure existing in said recording medium,

a detecting device which detects the replacement of said recording medium,

a selecting device which, in the event that the replacement of said recording medium has been detected by said detecting device, causes selection to be made as to whether or not folders of the same structure as folders existing in the replaced recording medium are to be created in the replacing recording medium, and

a folder creating device which, when said selecting device selects creation of folders, creates folders of the same structure as folders existing in the replaced recording medium in the replacing recording medium on the basis of information recorded in said folder information recording device.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a display control device which causes a display device to display all the folders existing in said recording medium in folder icons appended with pictures on the basis of information recorded in said folder information recording device, wherein;

said folder information recording device records information on pictures to be appended to folder icons of individual folders together with information on the folder structure existing in said recording medium.
