Works, but some image duplication
Authored by: jfaughnan on Feb 04, '04 12:05:29AM

I'd posted on this a while back in the Apple Discussion forums. It does work, but you'll find that if you have a single image in more than one album that you'll duplicate that image . In other words, you'll have two images in two albums.

Before doing this type of merge you should run one of the Apple supplied iPhoto AppleScripts to locate images that are not in any album. Then you should try to create 1:1 image to album relationships.

You don't actually need a DVD to do this. In my experiments I was able to do it with disk images, but it was a finicky process and I ran out of time to perfect it. See http://googlefaughnan.blogspot.com/2004_01_01_googlefaughnan_archive.html#107443707329385340
for more info.

iPhoto 4 has some very weird behaviors, such as an odd 4GB free space error:
