[QUOTE="jessejames, post: 630803, member: 51662"] Simple solution: dont use iPhoto Keep them organized by year, folder, sub-folder, what have you, and browse them that way. iPhoto creates events, thats just how it work. Another problem you are having is expecting a Mac to work just like Windows. The faster you get over that mentality the better. I wasnt WOWED by Mac/OSX either. Took me a while to fully appreciate how much better it is. Youll get there eventually. As far are making duplicates, there is a easy answer to that: iphoto > preferences > advanced > uncheck "copy items to iphoto library" That way it will just read from the current location. edit - just re-read you post, must have skipped past this. Whats the issue here? If you have disabled it then its not creating "gigs upon gigs of wasted space." I fail to see the problem with this part. [/QUOTE]
