Reuniting iPhoto libraries not on cd?
How would I re-unite 3 or 4 different libraries that aren't on cd?
Reuniting iPhoto libraries not on cd?
I'm somewhat hesitant to post this since it's a partial solution, but it worked for me. Use script editor to compile the following Applescript and then save it as an application bundle. Start up iPhoto4 then double-click this applet to run it. The applet assumes you have already imported all your photos from your multiple iPhoto2 libraries. That's the part of this solution that's not complete - for me importing the photos was easy because I've always archived my photos (into a folder by day) *before* importing into iPhoto. So I simply needed to recreate my albums in iPhoto4 once I had re-imported all my photos from their original archive location. Anyway, you run this applet and then point it at your existing iPhoto2 libraries (if you have multiple iPhoto2 libraries, you may want to put them all inside a single top-level folder first and then point this applet at the top-level folder, that way it can scan all the libraries at once). This applet will then recreate all the albums it finds in your existing iPhoto2 libraries inside of your iPhoto4 library. Note that all this does is recreate your albums. Any other information inside your iPhoto2 library is *NOT* carried over. I hope this is helpful - maybe it can serve as a starting point for someone to work on a more complete solution.
