There are not edited versions, keywords or other user added metadata imported along with the photos, What is does is compare library A with library B and imports those photos in A that are not in B into B and, conversely, those in B that are not in A into A. In the future if you want to sync two libraries try using Sync iPhoto libraries | SyncPhotos (formerly iPhotoSync) | Haystack Software. The cache files hold previously executed functions and clearing also resets to factory settings. So deleting that file is Troubleshooting 101. Sometimes the pref file will get corrupted and that can affect performance in ways I never imagined. If you want to duplicate a library just use the Finder to duplicate it.ĭeleting the preference file and caches just resets iPhoto back to "factory" settings. The duplicate detection choices were turned off, as I wanted to duplicate the library, I started with attempting to duplicate a current library via iPLM's Merge into a new, clean, library function. Message was edited by: jamesfromoakland park I'm just wanting an alternative in the meantime. The developer seems to have provided a fix for that, but I am curious about being able to do this without iPLM, for now, until I'm certain that all of the bugs have been resolved. ![]() BTW, the number of pics and events discrepancy varies from one rebuild to the next, with the same settings. Oops!-I almost forgot! Yes, I have rebooted. Sory this was so long, but now you know the rest of the story and hopefully, can give me some good advice. I don't want to count on something that isn't working only to realize months later that my pics are missing their original date or GPS data or something that might not be obvious at first and with thousands of photos. Also, from reading the version history of iPLM's version 4, there have been some pretty serious issues since its release. I have read that Aperture can be used to merge iPhoto libraries, but am not at all clear on the details. I would even be willing to buy Aperture, if that would help. Is there another way to do this just with iPhoto, while iPLM is getting the kinks worked out and especially since I do not have keywords, albums, etc. I would like to keep any organization into Events that I have done, if possible. ![]() ![]() However, about 2,000 of these pics are modified, as determined by using iPLMs Extract function. What I want to accomplish is to merge the libraries and retain original pic and its descriptive data as it was when I first took the pic. I don't think I have added any keywords and there are no slideshows, photobooks, or greeting cards. So that is the background.īasically, all my libraries are very simple. I just saw your basic troubleshooting steps and I had not tried those, yet. I realize he is just one guy and applaud him for his responsiveness. Also, I am in communication with the developer and he is addressing from his end, but the back and forth is sometimes slow. I have the same problem using iPLMs rebuild function. I verified the settings and tried different settings and get the same wrong result. However, I did not end up with the same number of photos or events that I started with. The duplicate detection choices were turned off, as I wanted to duplicate the library, thus testing my settings and the software. I always try a couple of test runs with iPLM, to make sure I have it set correctly. However, this time I ran in to issues with both versions of iPLM. In the past, I have used iPhoto Library Manager to rectify this. Eventually, I upload or download pics into the wrong library. So the problem arose from trying to keep two iPhoto libraries in sync on the two computers in a typical travelers scenario. IPhoto Library Manager version 3.8.6 and version 4.0.6. I'm running OS X 10.8.3 and iPhoto 9.4.3 on both an iMac and MBP, as below: There are several libraries, each with about 9-10,000 photos and probably 80-90% of them are the same in each library with the remaining photos being unique to each library. Well, it's a long story, so I was trying to spare you! LOL!
