Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / February 2005Just starting with iPhoto
1) It is apparently not possible to create subfolders in the albums. Is it ? 2) Can I create more than one iPhoto library ? And access them at will ?

And access them at will ? Sort of; you need to switch libraries when iPhoto is not running. I use a freeware application named "iPhoto Library Manager" and available via VersionTracker <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13532>.

My Source list was getting pretty long. Now I can "nest" an album, its slideshow and book together. Nice. > > 2) Can I create more than one iPhoto library ? > > And access them at will ? > Sort of; you need to switch libraries when iPhoto is not running.

By holding the [Option] key when starting iPhoto, the user is presented with a dialog that allows the choice of creating a new library or selecting and existing one - or quitting. This procedure is described in iPhoto help. :) JR > > > 1) It is apparently not possible to create > > > subfolders in the albums. Is it ?

True, but iPhoto has to be quit and restarted to switch libraries anyway and the iPhoto Library Manager displays a list of all iPhoto libraries is its left pane negating the need to navigate to the target library.

What does this mean, exactly? ----j7y Signaturejere7my tho?rpe | "The land knows whom it sent out; (440) 775-1522 | In the place of human beings jere7my2@oberlin.net | Their ashes in urns http://www.livejournal.com/~jere7my | Come back to each man's house." --- Aeschylus, The Agamemnon > > > 1) It is apparently not possible to create subfolders in the albums.

Albums contain nothing but photos; when you click on one, the contained pictures are displayed. Folders are a sort of "super album, and may contain albums or other folders. When you click on a folder, all the photos in all the enclosed folders and albums are displayed; however, the folder icon has a disclosure triangle which when clicked, displays the structure of the folder's contents.

Take a look at iPhoto Buddy, might just be what you're looking for: http://nofences.net/iphotoBuddy/ SignatureHave fun, Hermie September 15,1996 |
