Add to iPhoto not working from Mail app

I have Mac OS 10.8.2 installed along with iPhoto '11 (v9.4). When I receive an email that has photos then try to use the "Add to iPhoto" feature from the save menu in the email, nothing happens. I have tried repairing iPhoto and even rebuilding the iPhoto but it is still not working.


I can save the attachments to a folder - that works - but the save directly to iPhoto simply does not work.


Any ideas?

Same problem here. I reported it to them via Mail.


Mail menu -> Provide Mail Feedback and let them know about it.


Also, I think the easiest workaround (at least for me) is to hit the save button which saves all photos to the downloads folder. Then open downloads, highlight all the files and drag to iPhoto. If you sort your downloads folder by "Date Added" it will keep them all together.

And your point of telling the users here is?


This is a place for users to help other users - if you want to contact Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback or call Apple - These inane posts accomplish nothing and get in the way of people who have legiminate questions that can be answered.


If you want to waste your time RANTING go out and RANT to a tree - it will do just as much good and does not get in other people's way


It is what it is and it will be fixed when it is fixed - here we can only help with what is - and what is is that it does not work - no amount of RANTING will make one iota of change in that
