How Can I Display the Name of iPhoto Library?

I manage a huge number of images so I keeep them in their own iPhoto libraries. In order to change libraries, I have to rename the one I have just left and then restart iPhoto. I have looked for years but cannot find a way for iPhoto to display the name of the library it has open. I could remember the names of all my libraries if I was not forced to change them in order to leave them and go to another. Does iPhoto tell you the name of the library you have open?
Thanks

Hi John,
iPhoto 6 now shows the name of the library in the title bar of the iPhoto window. At least it did the other day for me.
You can have a unique name for each of your libraries and use the Option key to launch iPhoto and choose to open another library, then navigate to the library, highlight it and click open.
You can also use one of the iPhoto Library managers to switch between libraries.
iPhoto Library Manager
iPhoto Library Manager documentation
this page will show you everything you can do with iPhoto Library Manager.
You can also try iPhoto Buddy

  • How can I display the name of my refnum on the front panel?

    I am writing data to a file. To do this, I am using "Open/Create/Replace File" to prompt the user for a filename, which is then output to my VI as a refnum. I then write strings to this file with "Write to Text File".
    How can I display this filename (with the path) on the front panel after the user has input it?

    Use the Refnum to Path function, in File I/O -> Advanced File Functions palette. You can wire this to a path indicator.

  • Displaying the name of iPhoto library

    I have a large number of different iPhoto libraries, and was wondering if there was some way to display the name of the Library in use. I have given them all different names, and can usually tell which one I am in, but not always.
    iPhoto insists on calling each one "Library" in the information pane. I've looked through the responses to this question in the iPhoto 5 section (i.e. "can't do it") but, now that iPhoto offers multiple library support, you'd think this would be addressed.
    Th causes of my problem are twofold: 1) I often duplicate libraries and then split them by deleting different film rolls from each and 2) I'm getting old, and my memory is not what it once was, so I tend to forget which of the two libraries I've opened and which files should be deleted.
    Any suggestions?

    luba:
    Yes if you use iPhoto Library Manager to manage your multiple libraries as you can see here. iPLM adds the library title to the top of iPhoto's window when you go thru iPLM. It will also let you copy albums or rolls between libraries and keep the keywords and comments like this.
    I have my workflow setup to always go thru iPLM so I always know exactly which library I'm opening. My memory isn't good enough to remember the last one I had opened.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    How can we display the list of Report Names in Dashboard Prompt?

    Hi,
    No its not possible to display list of reports in dashboard prompts.

  • How can I use the photos from iphoto to display in contacts?

    Contacts has a space for a photo.  At one time I knew how to populate this space with photos from iPhoto. Currently my choices are to use an icon or take a pic with the camera.
    How can I add the photos from iPhoto to the choices for populating the "Contacts" image space for individual cards?

  • How can i delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos

    Mac Book Pro (Mid 2012) 13 inches
    256 Solid State Start up Insert in DVD Drive
    1T Hard Drive in reg slot
    16 GB Ram
    Mavericks 10.9.4
    iphoto 9.5.1
    I am currently keeping my iPhoto library on my 256 SS Main Drive of my MacBook Pro.
    How can I delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos in the main iPhoto display library and all their masters and edits.
    I take loads of photos and import them and then will keep only 5% of the ones that I import.  As a result I have a masters folder of over 50GB and actual photos that take up less that 5GD.  Is it possible to delete the master folder without losing all the photos and without having to pain stakingly go through every folder and pick out from literally hundreds the ones that i kept and edited.  How do I reduce the size of the masters just down to the ones that I have kept and not every single photo and video that I imported in the history of my iPhoto experience.
    If I delete the master folder will all the photos and their edits be deleted.
    If so, is there a way to just delete the masters that are no longer in the iPhoto library, while keeping the masters and edits of the ones that I clearly want to keep because they are the ones that I did keep.
    Why do they keep the masters of photos that I clearly deleted and emptied the trash on.
    I like to maximize space and this would help a lot to clear up for me.  Thank you.

    All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events.  It is a start but not complete.
    Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
    If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
    Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
    Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit.  i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
    As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos.  And empty the trash always before merging projects.
    You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists.   I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
    You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

  • How can I display the front panel of the dinamically loaded VI on the cliente computer, the VI dinamically loaded contains files, I want to see the files that the server machine has, in the client machine

    I can successfully view and control a VI remotly. However, the remote VI dinamically loads another VI, this VI loaded dinamically is a VI that allows open others VIs, I want to see the files that contains the server machine, in the client machine, but the front panel of the dinamic VI appears only on the server and not on the client, How can I display the fron panel with the files of the server machine of the dinamically loaded VI on the client computer?

    I down loaded your files but could use some instructions on what needs run.
    It seems that you are so close yet so far. You need to get the data on the server machine over to the client. I generally do this by doing a call by reference (on the client machine) of a VI that is served by the server. THe VI that executes on the server should pass the data you want to diplay via one of its output terminals. You can simply wire from this terminal (back on the client again) to an indicator of your choosing.
    Now theorectically, I do not think that there is anything that prevents use from getting the control refnum of the actual indicator (on the server) of the indicator that has the data, and read its "Value" using a property node. I have never tried this idea but it seems t
    hat all of the parts are there. You will need to know the name of the VI that holds the data as well as the indicator's name. You will also have to serve all VI's. This is not a good idea.

  • How can  i  display the Number  instead of  E

    Hello Everyone ;
    I am getting confused. How can i display the Number but the Exponential value is coming as E.
    SQL> select sum(amount_sold) from sales;
    SUM(AMOUNT_SOLD)
    1.1287E+11
    Table details ..
    SQL> desc sales
    Name                                          Null?        Type
    AMOUNT_SOLD NUMBER
    i want to change 1.1287E+11 to "numeric"
    DB : 10.2.0.4
    os : rhel 5.1

    Just a minor correction on an obvious math/responding too fast error: 1.1287E+11 is a 12 digit number. You move the decimal 11 positions to the right which would add 7 zeroes to the value.
    MPOWEL01> l
      1  select length(to_char(1.1287E+11)), to_char(1.1287E+11,'999,999,999,999'), 1.1287E+11 "TEST"

                             12  112,870,000,000  112870000000the problem was that the OP failed to alias the sum result to the formatted column rather than the lenght of the data.

  • How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want?

    How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want??

    To ensure a custom ordering, sort the files in an album and rename the files with a sequentially numbered filename.
    File > Export > Version/Originals
    Then use "Filename > Sequential"
    or "Filename > Album name with index"

  • How can I reduce the size of IPhoto ?

    I have tested IPhoto with a few hundred pictures.
    I do not find this software very user-friendly, in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures. I kept fortunately a copy of my complete set of my photo collection.
    I removed all pictures from IPhoto, but the application shows a size of 600 Mb.
    How can I reduce the size of IPhoto and recover this storage space?

    patrick
    in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.

  • How can I display the data in table in separate column?

    I have a vi reading data one by one in the same column.
    How can I display the data with separate column?
    like this:
    data 1 | read | read
    data 2 | read | read
    data 3 | read | read
    (would you mind if I will ask for an example
    because it is much easier for me to work
    with an example)
    THANK YOU.

    If you're reading your data in as a 1D array, this is as simple as using the Reshape Array to make a 2D array. I've attached an example in LabVIEW 6.1 format. The example rearranges a single column of data fill several columns horizontally, but you can easily modify this code to fill the columns downward instead.
