Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

How can I see "Events" in a LIST - NOT in icons?

Could someone please tell me (step by step, inch by inch) EXACTLY how I can see all of the "Events" in Iphoto '11 as a LIST...with no icons, no "Key Photos," no scrolling through 600 different pictures to try to find the EXACT event I want by DATE that I want on the event - NOT the date that the photo was taken...A LIST:


2011-12 Go to Store (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHING ELSE IN IT)

2010-08 In Thailand (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHING ELSE IN IT)

2005-05 In Mexico (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHING ELSE IN IT)

1983-01 Buy First Computer (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHINGELSE IN IT)


600 MORE OF THESE LINES, BY DATE, AND MY DESCRIPTION, WITH NOTHING ELSE. PERIOD.


I USED to be able to do this in IPhoto, but since upgrading, it seems to be impossible. It is EXTREMELY difficult to find the photos I want when dealing with Icons no matter WHAT their size.


Along with "faces" - which I neither need, nor want, nor seem to be able to get rid of, this is the most irritating aspect of Iphoto. But of course, it's possible that, having spent a week reading the entire manual page by page, and searching every known corner of the Internet - I simply am not smart enough to find the correct answer to this question. OKAY. I can admit my limtiations.


Thanks!

Click on Photos View


View Menu, Click on Event Titles


In Photos view option (or alt) click on any of the disclosure triangles. It will collapse them all.


Or, you know use the Search Box...

Like the original poster, I'd like to view events as a simple list. A solution is given in this thread but it does not completely provide what I would like.


I would additionally like to have the option to sort the collapsed list of events. Specifically, I would like options to choose sort alphabetically or by date, ascending or descending. The collapsed events list in the photos view seems to be hardwired to display events chronologically.


I am aware that in events view, event tiles can be sorted in the way that I want. However, it is the simple, collapsed list of events that I would like to sort.


Are there any 3rd party iPhoto companion apps that can read my iPhoto library and give me a more controllable view of my events list?
