Use pictures stored anywhere with iPhoto6
I've got a pretty big iPhoto library and I'd like to offload a big chunk of it to an external drive, but I don't quite understand if/how this can work. If I choose not to copy files to my library when importing them into iPhoto, what happens when I import from my camera? Am I correct in assuming that choosing this option effectively means I need to use another application (Image Capture perhaps) to import from the camera and organize my photos in the filesystem? If so, does iPhoto automatically stay up-to-date with photos in imported directories or do I have to manually import anything new into iPhoto in a second step?
Use pictures stored anywhere with iPhoto6
Good question. I'd test it, too, but I don't have iPhoto 6 handy (i.e. at all, yet). My hunch is that if importing is enabled with the new "Copy files to iPhoto Library" preference unset then it would copy them into the internal library folder hierarchy as if the pref were unset. iTunes works like that when its "Copy file to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set and content is added via iTMS or Podcasts. |
