Filing structure for iPhoto?

I just installed iPhoto 6 and noticed what appears to be two different filing systems that essentially doubles the size of the iPhoto storage. One set of folders looks like the ones in iPhoto 4, the other is labeled Originals, which are filed by roll number. My question: can I dump the iPhoto 4 file structure files to save space while keeping the structure called Originals?

HI pete,
I ended up having the stray year and month/day folders once my upgrading was done for iPhoto 6. I navigated through all the folders and they were empty for me. I deleted those folders in the Finder.During the upgrade I was I asked I wanted to import some recovered photos that weren't in the library and I said yes. My recovered folder ended up being photos that were already in iPhoto, so I deleted that recovered folder from within iPhoto also.
Here is how iPhoto 6 is supposed to be organized in the Finder.
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.

  • Library Structure in iPhoto 6

    It's been a BIG disappointment to learn in the wrong way that '6' alters the previous date based filing structure of images. Seems to have created a new 'roll based' filing system. Date based filing made it very easy to find files when using other applications.
    I want to go back to date based filing - if I uninstall 6 and then re-install 5 will that result in a return to normalcy?
    Maybe the solution is Lightroom which looks good, but of course I'm reluctant to put all my eggs in that basket till the retail cost is known.

    cujimmy:
    No, you can't go back unless you have a backup copy of your v5 library folder. LIght box looks interesting but, unless I've missed something, you can only do edits and save in tiff. For some that would really fill up their HD fast.
    The change to the current folder format brings iPhoto more into line with other image management applications which let the user create the folder system, i.e. each user folder imported results in a roll in iPhoto, particularly if the option to not copy files into the library is used. Much better, IMO.

  • Importing File Structure into iPhoto

    I need help (or perhaps someone could kindly point me in the right direction) importing the file structure I had set up for my photos. Currently, I have my photos filed in an external drive. The structure I have created is, for example, 2008 folder, then under that 2008 folder I have a folder for each month, then in each month I have an events folder (christmas, tree cutting, etc...). This would look something like this: 2008/12/Christmas Day. Is there a way to import this structure into iPhoto?
    Thanks for the help... (if you've made it this far!)!
    -Ann Marie

    Ann Marie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can achieve that by using virtual folders, 2007, 2008, etc. and the have smart albums in each of those folder for the months. The criteria for the January smart album would be "Date is the range 01/01/2007 to 01/31/2007".
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

  • Controlling File structure within iphoto

    Aloha,
    I am new to the macs and am trying to figure out the filing system with iphoto. I am interested in doing the following with my files in iphoto:
    1. Is there a way that I store the images in folders that mimic my organization in iphoto? If not how can I navigate to a particular photo?
    2. If I have a folder structure that I want to import to iphoto how do I go about doing that? As I belive iphoto uses 3 main picture storing folders (data, modified and original). Am I to drag my additional files into original? and will it mimick that structure within iphoto?
    Thanks

    I'll take these one at a time:
    Can I do a mix of how the images are stored? aka some that are imported in the file structure that I have them organized in, and others (presumably new images) that are imported directly into iphoto? How would this work
    Not comfortably, though you could do it using aliases I guess. You could certainly experiment with a few shots. My worry would be the complexity of the system would leave open the possibility of Human Error.
    2. If I use filing outside of iphoto, I have to manually delete files? aka trashing then iphoto will not delete them from the files? What about if I rotate or modify the image in iphoto, does this then become permanent aka I cannot revert to the original?
    Yes you would have to manually delete the files. No, you can still Revert To Original.
    3. If I do use the filing outside of iphoto is there a way to use automator to delete pictures when I trash them
    Not that I know off. I'm no Automator expert, but I looked in the Automator Library and could see nothing. The difficulty would be trying to make an internal app event (empty iPhoto Trash) match to a system event (Move to Trash) without a hook of some form from the Automator Library, Might be worth a post in the Automator Forum.
    4. Iam concerned about space; does iphoto create a duplicate file for each image that is modified in iphoto (what constitutes modifcation, just cropping etc, or rotating as well?).
    Yes, iPhoto makes an apparent duplicate of each file that is modified, and yes, modification includes any change. If your concerned about space, move the entire library to an external disk.
    I am still skeptical about not having any control over how the images are stored, thus my hesitancy about just going with iphotos database storing.
    The iPhoto Safety Net: If you go with the default setting in iPhoto your photo are stored - in plain view - at Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library Folder in the Originals folder, where they are organised in Rolls (really just a folder) based on Date. You can go there and visit them anytime. They are just as accessible as in your own file structure.
    The iPhoto Library Folder is organised as follows:
    There are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    But remember, It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
    So essentially, the storage on iPhoto is as plain and secure as your own file system.
    Feel free to ask more if you need more.

  • Setting up storage for iPhoto and iMovie on rMBP

    Hi,
    I just purchased a rMPB 15" with a 256 SSD drive and 8gig RAM.  While I have several iOS devices (phone, ipad, ATV) this is my first MAC OS device.
    I purcahsed it mainly to organize my photos and video.
    I probably have thousdands of photos, and hundreds of hours of video (on MiniDV) that I want to import, edit, organzie, etc.  I know that the intenal harddrive will not be enough to support all this.  I want to set this up right the first time, so I dont have any issues.
    My first thought was NAS, but after doing some research it appears that might not be the best course of action since it looks like iPhoto and iMovie dont suppport NAS.
    Then I thoguht external USB hard drive, but what happens when I dont have the hard drive connected?  I dont want to have to keep a hard drived tethered to my laptop at all times.
    Ok, then I thought just use harddrive to backup via time machine.  But what happens when internal drive gets full?
    Do i load all my photos directly onto a harddrive and then have iPhoto just point to it, thus not ever having them on internal drives?
    Its these type of questions I have.
    My ultimate hope is some sort of NAS setup, so my non Apple devices (windows, DLNA, etc) coudl access the ptotos and videos as well.
    Thanks for the advise

    1.  Can iPhoto support multiple libraries on its own (or do I need that additional software referenced above)
    It can do multiple libraries on its own. However, that just allows you to create and open Libraries, you can't move images between them and so on. If you are using multiple Libraries check out iPhoto Library Manager
    If I take all my photos, and organize them with iPhoto (using an external drive for example), they way I understand how iPhoto works is it takes all the photo in, and then organizes them into its own system.
    You need to make a small distinction here: iPhoto stores the files, you organise the Pictures as you want.
    It's a key distinction.The file is just a container -  a box - for your Photograph. Think of it this way:  In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
    Once I take the time to tag them, identify, group ect.  All that meta data is only relevant in Iphoto correct?
    No, it's relevant to the Photograph and (almost) all of it can be used for searching and can be exported with it.
    So, if you use a media browser you can search on any text: Title, Caption, keywords etc. (There is a single exception: there is no way to share Faces information as there is no agreed convention for this kind of metadata.) Any thing else you add in iPhoto can be written to the file on export.
    For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
    Depends on the export setting you choose, but potentially, everything except Faces.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Are they still organized by date?
    Organised where?
    When exporting photo's out of iPhoto, do they retain any file structure.
    Do you mean filing structure? Depends on what you choose in the export dialogue.

  • How to find where the code for append structures for LIS extractors?

    Hi,
    I found 4 append structures for extractor 2LIS_03_BF,
    Out of 4 append structures, I found code for one, using where-used option. But in vain for other 3. Is it possible they didn't transport the code for remaining structures? how to find that?
    Cheers,
    Kannan N

    Kannan,
    When ever you apply a logic to populate tdata for the appended filed then you will be writing some code in CMOD transaction code where you will find a ZXRSAU01
    program, just double click on that then it will take you to the complete exit. Ther you can find with your data source name.
    Hope it helps...

  • Best Cloud Storage for iPhoto backup?

    Hello, it seems ridiculous that Apples iCloud doesn't allow you to backup your entire iPhoto library... so I'm looking for some advice on the best alternative options. I currently have TM backup automatically, but I travel between the USA and Europe often and would love a safe and simple online backup system. Anyone have reccomendations? Carbonite? Dropbox?
    Thanks in advance!

    Online doesn’t really work for iPhoto because most solutions don't understand the iPhoto Library structures and also because of the massive amounts of data involved. We often see folks on here complaining of restores taking days to complete.
    But you do raise a very important issue and this is what I have done in this case:
    My Library lives on my iMac. It’s Backed up to  two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
    It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected.
    I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
    My Photos are backed up online. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.
    Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a trial restore.

  • How do I maintain the file structure in iphoto 6 the way i want them?

    For the past few years I have been scanning forty years worth of slides on my windows based PC. I have approximately 9500 scan as this point. Each scan is given a number such as "009500" followed by the names of persons or places shown on the picture. They are generally in chronological order. Obviously the creation of the scan has nothing to do with the date of the actual shooting of the picture. They are in the order that I want them in.
    I can import them either from an external hard drive or from cds containing a few hundred scans each.
    Is there anyway that I can maintain that kind of file structure in iphoto 6?
    Frankly, I am somewhat disappointed by all of this. My kids told me how easy the mac was for photos and I now find that it may well complicate my computer life even more.

    MJ,
    Once your files are imported into the library you can view them in many ways. When you import a file, iPhoto uses the filename as the photo title. I think you can achieve what you want by using View > Sort Photos > by Title. This will display all of your scans in the alpha-numeric order of their titles. You could then move the size slider toward the left (to reduce the thumbnail size) and quickly group your photos into Film Rolls. Click on the first photo, shift-click on the last photo, and all photos in between will become selected. Then use File > Create Film Roll to group these photos together into manageable chunks. Each time you create (or select) a film roll you can give it a descriptive title and edit the roll date. When you set the View to Film Rolls, each roll is listed in chronological order by the date of the roll - not the date of the photos within the roll. This is handy, since you can easily set the date for each roll, and it's a much less daunting task than redating your entire library. Photos within one roll will display in chronological order based on the date of the photos. I realize that with your scans these will not be accurate. So you could either change the date in iPhoto (but you said this would be a huge task) or don't worry about it. [You could use Photos > Batch Change to quickly redate the photos in a roll. Even if you don't take the time to set the exact dates, you can assign the group to a date or series of dates. By doing this you can use the calendar tool to filter your library by date. It is just one more way to make iPhoto a powerful organizer. Click on a year, month, or date in the calendar tool, and iPhoto filters your library to show the photos with those dates.] This is where your grouping into film rolls helps make your library organized - if the photos in a roll are from relatively the same time frame, then perhaps the internal order of the roll will be less important. And you can always switch your View back to Sort by Title when you need the photos to display in the exact order you have designated with your filenames. Just don't re-title the photos once they are in your library.
    If you divided your library into Film Rolls, then you could create an Album for each roll (by simply dragging the roll to the Source Pane). The advantage there is that with regular Albums, you have the option to sort the photos manually by dragging them around. (View > Sort Photos > Manually) You can switch to another sort order, and iPhoto remembers your manual order when you return to it. You do have the option to reset your manual order if you wish.
    iPhoto is very flexible, and with so many views, sorts, and filters you may well find a method that works for you. There is a shift in thinking from the way Windows software works, and if you are used to file browsers then you have to learn to play by the rules of using a database. If you can be patient and work through the learning curve, you may be rewarded. If I can clarify anything for you, please let me know.

  • How do I control storage location for iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie

    My primary drive is getting full and I note that my User file has all of the iPhoto images, iDVD projects and iMovie projects.  I want to take these collections off the main drive and place them on one of my external hard drives to open up space on my primary drive (the one with the Applications, etc.) How do I control where my images and movies are filed when I use the above applications? I do not recall designating any save function to this folder or drive.  How can I save these files in a location on my external drives in tthe future? If I move these images and movies from my User file, will that cause a problem for iPhoto or iMovie or iDVD in finding the files in the future as I use these applications?

    Hi
    They are using three different concepts - VERY UNLIKE APPLE to do like this !
    • iPhoto saves in a iPhoto library and there can be more than one - using the alt-key during up-start let's You to select which one You want to use and on Main Hard Disk at Root level in Photo folder.
    • iDVD - Save an iDVD Project file (sort of folder) where You want to find it.
    • iMovie - saves Event's and Project's in iMovie Event's resp Project's folders AND ONE MUST NOT alter or move anything in them or location of them - Moving Event's and Project's MUST BE DONE inside the iMovie Application !
    So while one can move iMovie Event's and Project's to another Mac - the needed Photos (and audio from iTunes) will be missing and very hard to get iMovie on second Mac to find and recognice.
    Yours (also confused - and moving step by step into the OLD FinalCut realm - Where everything makes SENSE !)

  • I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto '08 library to my new iMac for iPhoto '11.

    I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto (2007) library on a Macbook to my new iMac for iPhoto '11.  First, when I opened iPhoto on the iMac it asked me to create a library, which I did.  Then I imported her photos via a wireless network to my "new" library.  However, when it finally finished importing, it had imported 3 copies of each photo from her library.  I deleted the "new" library and started over.
    Second, I opened iPhoto on the iMac and chose to use "other library."  I chose my wife's shared iPhoto library and it began transferring the photos to the new iMac (or so I thought).  This worked beautifully as it only brought over single photos and not 3 copies like discussed above.  After editing the new library and adding some photos from an old PC, I shut down iPhoto.  A few hours later I tried to open iPhoto on the iMac and it gave me the opening screen again with choices to create a new library or use a different library.  As it turns out, my wife's Macbook and been disconneted from our wireless network.  I was able to figure out that that unless my wife's Macbook is connected to the network then I cannot access the iPhoto library on my iMac.  I was under the impression that I had copied her library to my computer and that the photo files were now on the hard drive of the iMac.  So when her computer is offline I can no longer access the imported library.  I want her library to stay on the iMac as we plan to sell her Macbook.  As you now know, we cannot access her iPhoto library on the Macbook since she is running an older version of iPhoto.
    So, what I would like to do is to completely transfer the photos from her Macbook to my new iMac and be able to access them on the iMac regardless of whether she is on the network or not because we plan to sell her Macbook to a friend.  Thank you for any help you can provide.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to custom action for context menu in "Site Content and Structure" in SharePoint 2010.
    In "SiteManager.aspx", SharePoint use MenuItemTemplate class which represent a control that creates an item in a drop-down menu.
    For example, to create or delete the ECB menu for a list item in
    "Site Content and Structure", we can follow the steps below:
    To add the “My Like” menu, we can add the code below:      
    <SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
    UseShortId=false
    id="OLListItemLike"
    runat="server"
    Text="My Like"
    ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
    ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="https://www.google.com.hk/"
    />
    To remove the “Delete” menu, we can comment the code below:
    <SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
    UseShortId=false
    id="OLListItemDelete"
    runat="server"
    Text="<%$Resources:cms,SmtDelete%>"
    ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
    ClientOnClickScript="%SmtObjectDeleteScript%"
    />            
    The result is as below:
    More information:
    MenuItemTemplate Class (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)
    MenuItemTemplate.ClientOnClickScript property (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)

  • I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

    I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I tried to install an update for iPhoto but was told I need a newer version of OSX, but software is up to date?

    Update notification for Iphoto and when I attempt to install it says I need at least version 10.8.2 installed, when I check my software update it says I have the newest software with 10.8.1?

    Thanks, I thought so... but when I look for a newer version I takes me to the mac app update page but doesnt show  any updates available other than Iphoto? I guess my real question is how do I update my software when nothing shows in the mac app updates?

  • How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)
