Manage and use photos with iPhoto4 and iView Media Pro
Authored by: boehncke on Jan 20, '04 02:20:06PM

I also use iView MediaPro and iPhoto (still the old version, since I have not received my back-ordered iLife 04 in Germany yet). My solution is also easy and as follows: I import all photos into iPhoto (which copies them to the iphoto library in the home directory, which btw is an alias to a different folder somewhere else on my hard drive). I then drag them from iPhoto to iViews dock icon - and presto they are cataloged with iView as well. This way you can use the pics in all apps!

Greetings, Klaus

Thanks! That's a great suggestion that allows both iPhoto and iView to work w/one set of files. iTunes should give more options, but I think this workaround isn't too big a hack, and should solve the problem.

Are you aware of any conflicts or problems caused when iView and iPhoto are both "managing" one set of images? I don't think it would be a problem, but wanted to ask.

I'm glad that someone has this thoughts of the iphoto missing feature of the year; photo thumbnail! I think that Apple do this INTENTIONALLY. Any photo software being commercial, shareware, or even freeware has this feature! In the Mac Expo January 2004, Steve Jobs laughed from Adobe photo album. It's a shame that this software don't belong to Mac platform.
I'm a switcher, I like and love Macs but this i really don't understand: a software that gets higher scores but don't have thumbnail photo browsing. Iphoto in my opinion is the worst piece of Ilife suite, because not having this feature, put the user under the strange and stupid circumstance of running another software to complete the task that iphoto is missing. If this softare doesn't came from Apple, let's be honnest:who would use it?
So, to summarize I use Ulead photoexplorer for browsing photos (much intuitive than Iview). But in the end I'm angry oh yes I'm angry because I know that Apple don't do this in iphoto for obscure reasons.
