Speed up iPhoto '09 by vacuuming its databases
Authored by: siegeld on Jun 15, '09 06:51:52PM

I'm trying to follow this procedure for "vacuuming" my iPhoto which has become incredibly slow since installing iPhoto '09.

I've changed the directory in Terminal so it says:

[Macintosh-4:~/Pictures/iPhoto Library] don%

But when I paste in:

for dbase in *.db; do sqlite3 $dbase "vacuum;"; done

terminal replies with:

for: Command not found.
dbase: Undefined variable.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

See Kupe's answer to his own post, a few posts back.
