Q: Separate iPhoto library into individual folders/events/albums

Hi - I have copied my iphoto library to an external hard drive, but would like to access the events/albums without having to open the whole library. Is there a way to do this?  Thanks!

Sure - you use the media browser from every open/upload/attach window - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491

    That's not your statement. Your statement is the factually inaccurate

    ...you don't have to compromise on how you store your images or how you want to arrange them.

     

    So, really, how can we know what you actually when all you offer is that? And I know you have difficulty with concepts that are not file based, but there are other ways of working on a computer, and not everyone has your limitations.

    Actually your original statement was

     

     

    Not ewith iPhoto that I know of.

     

    And you are totally wrong - the reason that it is a really bad idea to give others advice on a program that you neither use nor understand 

     

     

    Right I don't know how to use iPhoto as I never have or would use it.

     

    No one here cares a whit what you do with your photos - but when you give incorrect advice concerning a program that you do not use and do not understand - then expect your mis-information to be corrected - this is a place to help people - not give them incorrect information

     

    And as noted in the TOU you should not post solution or answers that you have not personally tested

     

    Test your answer. When possible, make sure your Submission works on your own computer before you post it.

    So since you do not use iPhoto and are not complying with the TOU is would be best if you trolled a different forum

    Whatever. When caught out spouting rubbish resort to name calling. Makes you feel better, right?

    What name calling? Aren't you an Apple fan boy? It seems to be a fairly honest and factual discription.

     

    If be that bother you then stop.

    No true.  But when they are blatently wrong in their statements or understanding of the topic they get called out on them. Duh?

    Wow - once again - you accuse others of what you are doing - second time in this thread - Apple Fan Boy - sure - because it is great hardware and great software that some people actually take time to learn how to use - and then offer their experience to others for free

     

    You on the other had and simply a troll - posting invalid information in violation of the forum TOU and becoming extremely argumentative and calling names when you are caught and your erroneous postings are corrected

     

    Yes you need to go away

     

    If you want to critize anyone then you shoulld first learn what you are posting about - if you make valid posts no one will comment but when you post invalid and incorrect information you will be corrected so that people who actually want help do not get misled by trolls
