iPhoto 6 and how it should work with edited images
Two problems remain:
a) when an image is deleted outside iPhoto the corresponding alias in iPhoto is not deleted upon startup. And getting rid of the ensuing error dialogue is unnerving. Why can iPhoto not browse through the original library and update its aliases when I start the application?
b) when an image is edited in iPhoto a “modified version” is created in iPhoto’s library. Grrr.... back to square one. I don’t want all that clutter on my harddrive and while I can see that some users need to have that safety belt I would wish for an option to tell iPhoto to change the original directly (and not create a copy). I don’t work exclusively with iPhoto only and don’t want to think each and every time where the most recent version of a photo is stored.
So, for the time being I’m back to iView Media... which is not supported through all the media browsers that access iPhoto’s library but still gives me all the control I need (and demand). If anybody knows a solution how to solve the above two problems, please let me know.
