Ssame goes for iPhoto: a lot of people find it hateful as it secretes files in seemingly random directories where they can't find them. Don't. go with the flow. Use the UI to export them, then re-import. It does cool things like always keeping an original so if you mess up an edit you can revert. People who rummage, get into trouble. At least the Pictures directory is perfectly rsync-able. -- Dave Hodgkinson - Music photography http://www.davehodgkinson.com/There's stuff above here
