Reuniting iPhoto libraries not on cd?
Authored by: billa on Mar 10, '04 09:38:41PM

Guys - I've been using "Library Manager" for over a year... and, what I've had to do in the past to re-introduce photos to the "
default" library was; go into each library and actually delete the "data" , "thumbs", and "originals" folders in EACH date (as you know, each library is organized by the month number and the actual day, right?). Once this was done, I dragged each MONTH back into iPhoto as a new album... (you can change the name, or better yet, just delete the album later; the pics will still be in the full library...). Why do all of this?? Well, in iPhoto 2, anyway, each THUMBNAIL image or original (non-rotated) image was added separately... creating AT LEAST a double set of pictures you have to deal with later... (just trying to figure out which is the full size, and which is the thumbnail is a nightmare...) Did this change in 4?? I dunno... UPS will be delivering my iLife 04 tomorrow... I'll let ya know! smile! bk
