An object of the invention is to freely construct a file processing
environment in which when a file is thumbnail displayed, print attributes
held in the relevant file can be easily and visually discriminated from
the displayed thumbnail. In an information processing apparatus by which
a file which holds predetermined attributes can be stored, a CPU obtains
image attributes and print attributes from attributes of the file stored
in an external storing apparatus, forms a reduction image to which the
print attributes are reflected as an image on the basis of the obtained
image attributes and print attributes, and displays the formed reduction
image to a display apparatus.
