I very much hate iPhoto. It has this neat feature where you can set the
title of the photo to a certain text or the film role name followed by a
number.(see http://www.macstuff.net/hate/rename.jpg for a screenshot)
Very handy one might think.

Think again.

iPhoto does:
photo1
photo2
photo3
etc
etc
photo10
photo11
photo12

So when you sort all the photos by title you get:
photo1
photo10
photo11
photo12
photo2
photo3

As you may have expected.

(see http://www.macstuff.net/hate/sorting.jpg for the wonderful sorting
sample)
Well, it's not what I want nor expected! I just want *normal* sorting. Why
on earth would iPhoto use a 1-2-3...10 type of renaming if it can't sort
it properly.Even I can build in a check to see if something ends with one number and
therefore should be treated a bit special for sorting. How come apples
developers can't?Oh wait! Finder can!

And that's all hate apart from the fact it keeps on crashing me even
though it is supposed to be able to handle the 2000+ photos I have.
grrrr hate iPhoto grrr!
