Use pictures stored anywhere with iPhoto6
I saw this as well and got excited about it. Ahh, I can now use iPhoto and iView. Only problem, these alias files that are created are huge. I took two months of RAW files and dragged them into iPhoto (with this option enabled), and the iPhoto library quickly grew to over 600MB. That seemed a lot for thumbnailes/aliases to me...

Could you update us here as you delve into this further? I, too, use iView currently, but would love to take advantage of this new feature in iPhoto6, but not if it's really not implemented very well…
Use pictures stored anywhere with iPhoto6
From all I've read (no iPhoto 6 here yet) it does use aliases, not symbolic links. Aliases store a fair amount of data in their resource forks (including the original app icon, I think) so it's not unusual to see larger numbers of them consuming significantly more space than symlinks. |
