[QUOTE="skybolt, post: 657819, member: 30261"] Do NOT rename the files in the library in finder! iPhoto (app) will not be able to find them and will become useless. Do your renaming in the app itself, and then use the export function to export to a folder on your desktop for your external storage device/frame, etc. Besure to check the box asking about keeping the name of the photo and it will export along with the photo. If you feel you MUST have the files in finder renamed, then, yes, you must use some other import function (Image Capture or such), rename them, and then import into iPhoto. This really is not necessary, though if you just name them in the app, then export. Saves lots of time and effort. Not to mention disk space! Stay out of the library in finder! [/QUOTE]
