Imported Photos Not Going to the Bottom of Events List

Same problem. Never an issue w '09, started w '11, always sorted manually because lots of the date tags are jacked up on older photos. Photo stream goes to the bottom.

APPLE PLZ FIX!!!

This is one of two bugs that are vexing me as well. The other is that pictures no longer show zoomed to window size in the browser window. They used to. This is quite annoying actuall.

I opened two bug reports with apple on these issues. Hope someone pays attention. Historically they do, though it may take a few months..

I'm guessing, like myself, everone is probably just living with this annoying bug and dragging all their new events with freshly imported photos all the way to the bottom of their iPhoto each time and dealing with them from there. It's a bit of a time waster. I'd like to see this thread continue until there is a fix or workaround, maybe everyone could reply/re-reply to this thread if this iPhoto bug is still bothering you.

Unless in the unlikely event someone has come up with a fix?

Still a problem after a lot of updates.

As noted earlier the solution is very simple. View menu ==> sort events. Set to your desired sort

Shortly after (or maybe before) posting here, I opened a bug with Apple, got in touch with the developers. Yah, well, that didn't go anywhere. The developers basically asked me why I cared and when I explained they told me there were no bugs and that it was all working as designed.

Go LarryHN, obviously you didn't read my last response to your uninformed solution. It is not simple and that doesn't fix the problem for most people on this thread, read up mate.

Imported some photos tonight, iPhoto said my library was damaged and asked if I wanted to repair. I said yes. 20 minutes later it was complete, I reimported the photos and they went to the bottom! Problem is it rearanged my 540 events, but I will be happy to fix that if it keeps putting my stuff at the bottom.

Don't know why it's fixed but glad it is. Magic.

OK, Never mind. Worked for 1 day and went back to importing pics to the second position on the top row. Piece of crap!

Very simple. View menu ==> sort events. Set to your desired sort

Read all post. Not simple if you manually sort your photos. Lots of photos have bad meta files/dates. This puts events out of order etc.

But yes, if you sort by date and don't care to keep your pics in order, then it's simple.

Sorry but that is the solution. Just because you personally do not like something that does not make it wrong. And since this is strictly a user to user support forum to help users use iPhoto the way it works, that is the answer. Making changes to iPhoto is far beyond the scope of this forum. Attacking people is not the solution

Sorting events is the ONLY solution that is available as iPhoto currently exists. Suggesting changes to Apple via the supported path (iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback) is appropriate. Other than that it is what it is and your choice is to use it or not

LarryHN just plays games with this forum, he's had the problem explained to him properly and still gives the same silly response. Something not quite right there.

On a more inportant note - Come on Apple FIX THIS BUG

You do not comprehend. IPhoto is what it is and none of the users here can change anything

Frankly manual sorting of events is simply not a good idea. If you want manual sorts use albums and folders not events. Events are not designed or implemented to do what you want and you are just beating your head against a wall trying to do dpsomething that is known not to work.

You will be amazed how good it feels to quit beating your head against the wall and to start using the features that works the way you want to operate - using albums and folders

LN,

Sorry if you feel attacked. If you read the entire thread it states in several places that in iPhoto '09 it always imported pics to the bottom even when sorting manually. Those of us that dislike that Apple changed this are free to complain and comment on the decision.

That's exactly what these forums are for. And I and many other people have reported it to Apple and asked for it to be changed back.

Just getting tired of hearing the "Just sort by date!" fix that isn't a fix.
