Library iPhoto on Synology NAS

Every time I open iPhoto when my Mac has been shot down I have too choose the place on my NAS of the library again. How can I change this?

Let me suggest another approach that I have been using for years successfully with my Synology NAS. It is to use an iSCSI Initiator. Synology supports the iSCSI protocol and once you set it up, you can format the drive with the MAC OS Extended. You will have to purchase and install an iSCSI initiator since OS X does not have one built in. I use one called 'globalSAN'. Once setup, it works seamlessly. I connect to my SAN over a gigabit ethernet connection and use iPhoto Library Manager. I can give more details if anyone is interested on how to set it all up.
