Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus having a hardware processor, comprising: a recording unit configured to generate a first directory and a second directory on a recording medium and records data on the recording medium, the recording unit storing image data in the second directory; and an application generation unit configured to generate, for an image reproducing apparatus that is different from the recording apparatus, an application program that is executable by the image reproducing apparatus different from the recording apparatus, the image reproducing apparatus different from the recording apparatus operating under a basic program that is capable of reading data stored in the first directory of the recording medium but that is incapable of reading the image data that is stored in the second directory of the recording medium, the application generation unit generating a reproducing application for the image reproducing apparatus different from the recording apparatus to read the image data stored in the second directory of the recording medium, as an application program executable by the image reproducing apparatus different from the recording apparatus, wherein the recording unit stores the application program generated by the application generation unit in the first directory of the recording medium on which the second directory storing the image data is generated such that the image reproducing apparatus different from the recording apparatus reads the image data stored in the second directory of the recording medium in accordance with the application program stored in the first directory of the recording medium, and wherein at least one of the recording unit and the application generation unit is implemented by the hardware processor.
