I have read through the following thread and looked at the videos contained therein.
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/im...raphy/242102-iphoto-sub-folders-problems.html
Please bear with me if I do not explain myself sufficiently in this first post.
I have a Network Attacked Storage Server (QNAP TS439). I use it for storage of videos/photos, accounts and documents. The hierarchical file structure of my videos/photos is such that I can use my med8ter media player Mede8er Forum - Index to view at leisure on my Sony 46" TV.
Recently I purchased a 2011 15" MBP (thoroughly enjoying the experience) with the 750gb HD and the AMD 6750 graphics card, and wish to carry a copy of all my photos and videos (stored on the NAS) with me whilst traveling.
Given that I wish to emulate (maybe not the correct word) the logical structure of my photos on the NAS in iPhoto 11 , I am wondering which is the best way of labeling them. Be it Events or Photos. Many of the photos are very old family 35 mm transparencies (that are in boxes) that I have scanned in and given the date and tray number to. e.g. Tray 2 July 1974, Tray 3 August 1975. To my mind using the listing of events is not suitable because the events are purely my labels and the times are when I scanned them in, not when the photos were taken. Also I have very old family photos (not slides) from the 1950s and 1960s that have been scanned in, the same applies.
My thought is that everything that I have should be imported from the NAS in iPhoto 11 under Photos and not Events!
Thoughts? Has anyone else been through the same exercise?
Regards
Peter
