iPhoto 2.0 warning about Erase Camera Contents
Authored by: diamondsw on Jan 16, '04 01:31:24PM

I think that is the real problem - any operating system will start having problems when disk space on the boot drive runs out. Thin about it:

1) You run out of swap space
2) Most programs perform a "safe replace" when saving over a file. Write a new file, delete the old one, rename the new file. Running out of disk space will break this on a lot of programs.
3) Preferences will frequently be lost
4) Flat-out directory corruption is *likely* to occur

So go ahead and use "Erase camera contents", but by all means keep some free space on your drive!
