ABSTRACT:
An image filing apparatus comprises a drive device which is loaded with an optical disk capable of storing a plurality of signals, and with which image signals representing images and subsidiary information belonging to each of the images are stored on the optical disk and read therefrom. When the image signals and the subsidiary information corresponding to each of the image signals are stored on the optical disk loaded into the drive device, a data base constructing device constructs an image signal retrieving data base from the subsidiary information such that an image signal corresponding to the subsidiary information may be retrieved. A storage device stores the data base such that it can be rewritten. A judgment device for determining whether construction of a data base is to be allowed or prevented finds the type of an optical disk loaded into the drive device. In the course of storing an image signal and the subsidiary information corresponding to the image signal on the optical disk loaded into the drive device, the judgment device makes a judgment from the found type of the optical disk as to whether construction of a data base from the subsidiary information corresponding to the image signal is to be allowed or prevented.
