Before an optical disk is inserted into an electronic filing system, one of three mode-setting keys provided on a keyboard is pushed, thereby setting an automatic mode for permitting automatic updating of retrieval data items, an inhibit mode for inhibiting the automatic updating of retrieval data items, and a select mode for selecting the automatic updating of retrieval data items or the inhibition thereof. The mode, thus set, is recorded on a magnetic disk. When the optical disk is inserted into the system, the mode is read from the magnetic disk. The mode read from the magnetic disk controls the updating of the retrieval data items recorded on the magnetic disk. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is accordingly the object of the present invention to provide an electronic filing system in which the retrieval data items recorded on one recording medium can either be automatically updated or not updated at the discretion of an operator, when the operator opens a desired one of the binders recorded on another recording medium. According to the invention, there is provided an electronic filing system for retrieving images recorded on a recording medium by using retrieval data which is updated in accordance with change of the images, comprising: mode selecting means for selecting one of first, second and third image reproduction modes; determining means for determining whether or not memory contents recorded on the recording medium have been changed by another electronic filing system; and data processing means for inhibiting updating of the retrieval data when said mode selecting means selects the first mode, for updating the retrieval data when said mode selecting means select the second mode, and for inhibiting or permitting the updating of the retrieval data when said mode selecting means selects the third mode, provided that said determining means determines that the memory contents of the recording medium have been changed. In the electronic filing system according to the invention, a plurality of images are recorded on a recording medium, and a plurality of retrieval data items are assigned to the individual images. The mode-selecting means selects one of three modes, an inhibit mode, an automatic mode, and a select mode. The determination means determines, whether or not the memory contents of the recording medium have been changed by another electronic filing system. If the determination means determines that the memory contents of the recording medium have been changed, the data processing means inhibits the updating of the retrieval data when the mode-selecting means selects the inhibit mode, it updates the retrieval data items when the mode-selecting means selects the automatic mode, and it inhibits or permits the updating of the retrieval data items when the mode-selecting means selects the select mode
