Speed up iPhoto '09 by vacuuming its databases
Authored by: Kupe on Mar 04, '09 02:50:32PM

I had no problem doing CD to the iPhoto Library directory, but I am unable to execute the VACUUM command. I pasted it verbatim from this thread, but I get these errors:

for: Command not found.
dbase: Undefined variable.

What am I missing?

Speed up iPhoto '09 by vacuuming its databases

Doh! I found the problem. I had tcsh running as my shell. I'm running Leopard which should default to bash, but I guess this might be an artifact from previous versions of OS X. Anyhow, switched to bash and vacuum ran fine.

Unfortunately, it did not accomplish what I had hoped, which was to speed up the new Places Map in iPhoto '09

Oh well- thanks anyhow!
