I did it without any fancy code
Authored by: themexican on Oct 20, '03 12:14:51PM

I did this but am having permissions problems... I can see the library but not edit it. And when I try to change access to read/right I'm not able to... aargg.

I did it without any fancy code

I imagine that the simplest workaround would be to put the iPhoto library on an external drive and check "Ignore ownership on this volume"--similar to the solution for sharing iTunes. But I want to be able to carry my pictures around on my laptop (not an issue with iTunes, since I lug around my music on my iPod). Perhaps the solution would be to partition my internal drive to have an "iPhoto" volume for which I would then check "Ignore ownership on this volume". But in the absence of a "Partition Magic"-style app for the Mac (Windows app that allows on-the-fly partition management), it seems like a lot of work just to share an iPhoto library...

"Partition Magic"-style app

Try iPartion or VolumeWorks.

I haven't used VolumeWorks. I have used iPartition. The user interface is a little awkward in places, but having got the hang of it, I have not had a problem with it. YMMV.

It is a very good idea to have a reliable (i.e. tested) back up of your important data before you use any such disk tool.
