How does iPhoto v. 8 name the folders inside iPhoto Library?

iPhoto used to name the folders (holding original photos) the same as the event name. Now it seems to use the date of the photo, but does not change the folder name to the event name. Is this the case with the newer version?
thx

Yes. iPhoto 09 no longer has a strict correlation between the Events in the iPhoto Window and the Events in the Originals Folder. However, it doesn't matter as you never access the Orignals folder anyway. If you want to create a folder of your Events simply select and event and export it: File -> Export.

  • How does iPhoto organises the photos?

    Dear fellow Mac users,
    how are you! Tonight, my parents had a lot of fun taking photos of them using Photo Booth... awww. those love birds haha.. and i made a music slideshows for them. (too bad i dont know how to burn it into a VCD for them to watch on TV). I dont have a DVD RW.
    My question is
    1. How does Iphoto organises the photos? It seems like there are many dublicate copy of the same photo.... i am kind of confused. (There is .. Original Folder and Modified Folder) and worried that it will eat up my disk space
    2. Is it possible for me to burn a slide show VCD?
    Thank you soooo much!

    StanB:
    As PhillyPhan warned, you don't need to use the Finder to locate an image file for use outside iPhoto. You can either drag the thumbnail to the desktop to get a copy of it or use the File->Export->File Export menu route to export the file to the desktop. The second option allows you to resize it if desired. So there's no need to go rummaging around in the iPhoto Library folder to find a file.

  • How does iPhoto recognize duplicates?

    I recently imported a folder (including several sub-folders) of photos into iPhoto.  It asked me if I wanted to import duplicates, and showed me a side-by-side of the two pictures in question.  Since they we're clearly the same, I said no.  After doing that for several photos, I finally said no for all duplicates, and the import rapidly completed.
    But then I got to thinking.   How does iPhoto actually recognize a duplicate?  Is it solely by the external characteristics (name, date, size), or does it have a method to actually analyize the content of the two photos to see if one is actually a copy of the other?  I  really hope it is not just by name, as I have a number of photos that have the same name but complelely different topics.

    Duplicate files are detected by comparing file name and the EXIF Capture Date. 
    There is one photo duplicate detection app that detects duplicate images by comparing the bit map or histogram of the image.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.

  • How does iphoto order events?

    How does iphoto arrange events for display purposes? It isn't alphabetically by title, it isn't chronologically by event creation date. I am baffled. If I know how they are ordered, I can move photos among events easier by renaming the events so they show up next to each other, then I can drag and drop photos in adjacent events without scrolling. Once I am finished, I can simply rename the events back to the original names. That would be the easiest way I have found to move photos around among events. I just can't figure out the riddle of how the events are ordered.

    By default events are sorted by the date of the oldest photo in the event
    Probably the easiest way to move photos is to flag the photos you want together and create an event from flagged photos
    But generally it is best to just leave events in date/time order and use albums for detailed organization - and/or keywords and smart albums

  • How does iPhoto 6 store data?

    Hi,
    I am curious, how does iPhoto store data? I have three folders:
    1. Data
    2. Modified
    3. Originals
    All appear to have the same directory, but have vastly different content, ranging from 2.4 GB to just a few MB.
    I would like to slim my hard drive, but not throw out something that is essential in iPhoto’s operation.
    Thanks,
    Klaus

    Good thing you checked here first
    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
    A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
    In this folder 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 - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    If you want to trim things down, then why not move the entire library to an external HD?

  • How does iphoto handle files exactly?

    using the program spring cleaning, i found all images outside of my iphoto library and imported them into my library. my question now is, if i run the search again, finding all images not in my iphoto library, can i safely delete those images since they have been copied into iphoto or are they still needed as a reference for the program? how does iphoto work with files exactly? i know there's an "original" and a "data file", but where are each of these stored? when a photo is imported to the iphoto library, does it make a copy of the original and the data file or what?

    Unless you changed the default setting in the iPhoto preferences, then if a photo is in the iPhoto Window then it's in the iPhoto Library Folder.

  • How does iPhoto sharing work? Does it enable someone to share your photos on a public wifi?

    How does iPhoto sharing (in preferences) work?  If you enable it, does it allow someone to view your photos while on a public wifi? I am using a macbook pro with 10.7.4

    Only if you set it to do so and only if the person on the other end has iPhoto.

  • How does iPhoto compare to Picassa which I have used a long time?

    How does iPhoto compare?  And is it simple to bring all to iPhoto in the same organization?
    Thanks!

    Very vague question... in what way? You obviously know the strngths of Picasa. The feature list of  iPhoto is on the Apple Site.
    Best advice I can give is to make a library and import 100 pics and explore. See what you like - or don't. It'll help you to ask pointed questions that will get you better quality answers (that this one )
    As to migration... there is no path from Picasa and it will depend on what Picasa can export.

  • How does Adobe ExportPDF differ from the export feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0?

    How does Adobe ExportPDF differ from the export feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0?

    ExportPDF is based on a newer conversion engine than the one found in Acrobat 9.0.  They're similar in some respects, but ExportPDF is more advanced.

  • I imported my email however out of all the folders in my inbox only a fraction of them ported into mozilla, how do I get all of the folders to port over?

    I should have 40 folders in my inbox but currently only 12 ported over, how do I get ALL of the folders to appear?

    Open Firefox -> Go to View -> Toolbars -> Chechmark on "Navigation Toolbar"
    this will bring back your address bar (where you type links to go to websites :P )

  • HT201270 In layman terms, what the heck does updating your carrier settings mean and how does it effect me in the real world?

    In Layman terms, what the heck does updating your carrier settings mean, and how does it effect me in the real world?

    No offense, but what carrier?  what data and what service? 
    I get a bogus window hovering in my itunes page, telling me I have to update information, that I don't want to manage. 
    I am not upset or unappreciative of your feedback, quite the opposite, I can't believe anyone actually monitors peoples frustrations. 
    I just want to make sure I don't allow information about me that is not necessary.  I just want to listen to music and have a phone and have an ipad. 
    Everything else about apple is way to propriatory. I don't want to do anything that isn't very simple. 
    Most importantly, there never seems to be any (human being) that can answer a telephone call anymore. 
    Contact us, means...send us an email about something you don't know anything about, and I don't even know that questions to ask.
    I am not allowed to be ignorant.  If I am I wait days for answers.....

    If you mean you don't want to see the stocks at all in notification center go to Settings>Stock Widget and turn Notification Center to Off.  If you mean you want to remove some of the individual stocks shown, open the Stocks app, tap the "i " on the bottom right, tap next to the stocks you want to remove, then tap Done.

  • [Solved] How does one go about changing the hostname in arch nowadays?

    Everything I've seen on the subject references /etc/rc.conf, which I believe is no longer used.
    I've updated /etc/hostname, but when hostname -f does not return the expected.

    Please see "man archlinux".
    Also, I can never remember if hostname is one of those things you need to reboot for...
