Merge old iPhoto libraries on CD with iPhoto 5 libraries
Authored by: iteratix on Mar 18, '05 01:18:27PM

Hi,

After lurking for forever, here's an hint where I can help! I've run into similar problems with the 'cp' command in the Terminal not copying Mac files properly. I found out via Apple forums (and other places) that the command To Use is 'ditto'.

So, to copy that CD to a directory, while keeping all the Mac-y goodness intact, try: ditto -rsrcFork /Volumes/MyCD ~/Desktop/myCDasFolder

The -rsrcFork tag keeps the resource fork intact.

Cheers.

Yep, ditto does the magic. As does stuffit. As does using Finder's "create archive of...".

Am surprised the original posted had trouble with just copying in the Finder though... odd.
