apple remote photos directory?

[montes.c]

What is the directory that the program looks for photos when you activate the apple remote?

It always says "No shared photos are available on your local network at this time".

I dont even know where the shared photos directory is?

Edit:

Nevermind, with some further googling I found out this was called frontrow and you need to import the files into iphoto which I think is dumb. I hate the program, I never use it, but I guess I will from now on since frontrow reads from its library.

You really should check out the video presentation Steve Jobs gave at the press release for the new iMac before calling iPhoto dumb. They made some vast improvements to it. You can see it at http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/r27842e/event/index.html?test=q1wa2sz3x
It's an hour and 13 minutes long but contains some very informative demonstrations. Give it a try, you may like it.

The iphoto may be a great program, it's useless to force users to use iphoto for a certain feature when you could easily just move certain photo files to a certain directory so frontrow may access it, just like the movies folder works.

I dont like photo or picture organization programs *at all*. A video of Steve Jobs is not going to convince me to use it. I Just want something that shows pictures and the "just looking" application is the best that I've found. Apple's preview sucks like crap. Now *that* program is dumb.

what a coincidence. i just put together a folder of photos and i couldn't view them all in a slideshow like i'm accustomed to on win xp. i made a search on google and found only results pointing me to iPhoto.

anyways, is there anyway of viewing my photos from a folder in a slideshow like the way win xp allows you to? or do i have to use a program like iPhoto?

You can either just open the folder in a finder window, select all the images you want to view, right click and select "Slideshow" Or you can double click on them, opening them with Preview, then hit CMND+Shift+F which will open them in fullscreen mode, and a view them this way.

Thank you!
