I have been exporting groups of photos from within iPhoto to my desktop for import into a different iPhoto library. All is going fine, except for one group of photos. When I tell it to export, I set it to go to my desktop - create new folder, name the folder, etc., but I get an error -- "Directory exists -- exists as directory at destination. Aborting the export" No matter what I name the new folder it won't work. Even exporting the photos individually to the desktop does not work -- same error message.

Anybody seen this? How do I get those photos to export? Thanks in advance!

I have purchased iLife '08, but figured I should work this out before updating. Or is there something in '08 that would help?

Have you tried to highlight and just drag your pictures to the desktop ?

Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees! I was so wound up in the "export" thing, that I did not even think of that! Last evening I tried your solution, and it worked like a charm the first time! Thanks!

It's always the simple solutions that are hard to see...Fresh eyes and all that. I'm glad it helped ;D
