How would we then get them added to iPhoto? without tediously having to import each and every file by itself, letting iPhoto create a new event for it, then merging that event with the actual event or library we really want the file in? Please resist the urge to just say “just let iPhoto handle it” and assume we use iPhot for everything, let’s say we downloaded a 10 different photos from the internet and a saved them to 10 different folders on the hard drive, organizing them how we want. So, my question is (and I think Carlos’s too) is that if I add a picture file to my original folders in the picture folder, how can I get iPhoto to automatically add them to the program, and in the correct event or library? Only if you modify the original in iPhoto does it then save an actual file in the modified area of the library, correct? Ok, now I beieve iPhoto does not actually copy my original files into the iPhoto Library, but just make thumbnails of them for the program, and aliases back to the original picture file. I have then imported them all into iPhoto, one folder at a time, to preserve each folder as an “event” in iPhoto and so it won’t start splitting them all up on me, undoing 10 years+ or organization that I already have in place.
#IPHOTO UPDATER PC#
Say I have brought over thousands upon thousands of picture files from my PC to my new iMac recently, and they are all organized in actual folders in the pictures folders of my hard drive. Perhaps you misunderstood us, so let me try and explain our question better. Gary, first of all, I have found and enjoyed your podcasts on my AppleTV so thanks, but I think Carlos gave up without you answering his question, or at least I have a similar question that your answer does not really help with.
