iweb not finding photos after move to external hard drive...

stephen,

Here's something for you to try...

Make an alias of your iPhoto Library folder (on the external drive) and put it in the "Pictures" folder (where the original Photo Library was). Launch iPhoto while holding the "Option" key down on your keyboard. In the window that opens, use "Select Library" and see if it let's you select the alias in the Pictures folder and then is able to open up your photos. If this works, then try opening up iWeb and see if you photos show up now in the Media Browser.

Hmm...too bad. Thought that would have been elegant if the software functioned that way.

any other suggestions?

Might be a job for symbolic links!

I thought there used to be a GUI way to create symbolic links, but maybe there never was.

Anyway, here's a "little" background.

And, if you're comfortable in the terminal, what you want to do is create a Pictures symbolic link that points to the one on your external drive (not sure what problem this might cause iPhoto... may want to point it to the symbolic link as well).

Something along the lines of

cd /Users/username/Pictures/

then

ln -s /Volumes/name-of-external/iPhoto\ Library iPhoto\ Library

or something like that.

[edit] to the mod,

If you don't like my input don't censor it! just deleted, like that!
