A caution on network-based aliases and the sidebar
Authored by: sparkrainfire on Nov 08, '07 05:43:41PM

I made a big mistake that cost me my iPhoto library. Frustrated with how iphoto 08 handles the library I right click the library and "show package co tents" I then added the "originals" folder to the sidebar. This was seemingly great because I then had access to my photos with out showing the package contents... I renamed the sidebar entry to "iPhoto" and the next day I noticed that my photos were not showing up in iPhoto.... I didn't even think that the folder got re named, I just thought that I lost my originals folder some how. Instead of looking in my package for a iPhoto folder I tried to restore the library. Now all of my photos are missing. Thankfully I had a semi recent back up at home, however I'm still missing the past months worth of imports... Ugh! Side note: please excuse any typos I'm writing this message on my iPod touch as my laptop is sick at the shop
