Hi,
I'm new of this forum, and I'm also new @ mac, even if with a large experience with Linux systems.
I tried to find out how to solve my issue on the internet with no luck, so I'm going to explain it here - hopefully I get the right forum section...
I have at the moment a windows vista server, a mac book air, a 2 TB nas with linux on ext3 fs.
I'll move the server to a imac 24, but it will happen in few months.
I use lightroom to keep my photo organized and to manage export for commercial use. I usually do it on the server, so on the WS machine.
From my understanding, it is practically impossible to use lightroom on the same archive (so, viewing the same changes on the pictures) from both mac and windows.
However, it would be sufficient at the moment to see the "edited" pictures in iPhoto.
In iPhoto, I can point at the pictures folder, but I will see non edited version of the pictures. Only for raw images, which is 15% of the total, I can see the edited version because of the XNP file.
So, at the moment I export the repository from lightroom on a NAS folder and iPhoto points then to edited version.
However, since LR doens't have the ability to preserve folder structure when exporting, this is a time consuming activity.
Any suggestion on how can I solve this issue, or how can I mantain a sort of sychronization between iPhoto and LR?
I will not edit any pictures from iPhoto.
I know this is a long post, so sorry for it!
Thanks!
