Hey everyone

I'm new to iPhoto, and my first impression is quite bad, because you really don't have much freedom.
I've managed to get some things the way I want them to be, but I hope you can help me with one prob in particular:

I'm the kind of User who wants to keep an organized structure in the files/folders appearance, so for example my structure looks like this:

Photos/Barcelona/"Here are all the different locations"

e.g.:

Photos/Barcelona/Tibidabo
Photos/Barcelona/Beach
...
and so on

when I import the "Barcelona" folder into iPhoto, it creates events from each subfolder. That's bad, since I really would like one top event and when I click on it see the different locations.
I know that's not possible in iPhoto, so I created some folders (in the panel on the left hand side). So I create the folder "Barcelona" and can drag all my different events into it, so I have my basic structure back.

Now my question:
I have lots of different galleries and always drag each single event into the corresponding top folder makes me sick. When I mark all events and drag them over iPhoto creates an album which contains ALL the photos. Thats ridiculous! Is there a way to mark all my events belonging to a particular holiday/person/location whatever, drag them into a Folder so that iPhoto creates for each event a single Album (the way it should be...)???

Hehe, I've looked through so many google results, but now I found what I was looking for:

ScriptBuilders: iPhoto Folder Import 1.0

Simply drag your folder which contains all subfolders onto the scripts and iPhoto generates the album-structure.

I hope my post here helps other people as well...

Or use keywords and smart albums. Put the keyword for a particular person (for instance) on each photo where that person appears. Then create a smart album using that keyword. Presto, forever more, all photos with the same keyword will be in that album. You can have multiple keywords for a single photo, so you can organize any way you want. Works great!
