iPhoto re-importing from archive?
Hey there,
I just installed Panther on my PB12 - I did an erase and install.
I tried backing up my iphoto library, but it was taking too long (estimated 170 hours to copy all the files over the network!) so I just burned them onto a DVD-R and a couple of CDs using iPhoto's "burn" button.
Now, when I stick one of these discs in, it loads into iPhoto... but I'd like to have the pics locally on my drive.
I can't find a simple way of doing this. The only way I've found so far is put the disc in, create a new album and import the albums one by one.
I know I can just copy the content of a disc to ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library, but that only works if you have one disc. I've copied the DVD-R over that way, but now I need to manually do the other discs... which seems... weird.
Am I missing something?
