An alternative method...
An anonymous user submitted the following as a non-terminal method of changing iPhoto's path ... note that you'll need the Dev Tools installed to get PropertyList Editor.
It is possible to put your iPhoto Library into a different directory without opening the Terminal. In my case, I wanted the iPhoto Library in my Users/Shared folder so other users (family members) on my computer can access the same photos. You can do this by double clicking your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist file. This launches PropertyListEditor. Now click on the pointer to the left of the word Root to drop down all the Root options. Click any option to highlight it and click the "New Sibling" button. Name the sibling RootDirectory. Make it Class String. Finally make the value your desired pathname. In my case, I entered /Users/Shared/iPhoto Library. You must finish your pathname with "iPhoto Library" or iPhoto will be lost.If you would rather stay away from the Terminal, this is a good alternative to the defaults command. -rob. |
