[QUOTE="morseldoc, post: 1633250, member: 341335"] [b]More questions on original question[/b] Hi, my first time in this forum, so please be kind to me. I have used macs since 1984, but am, like many, a busy person (and not as well-organized as I ought to be) so I don't always a) spend a lot of time learning all the details of a program I may be using and b) don't always remember where on my macs I put something. My question, which may not be exactly that of the original post, is: If I have iPhoto (this mac is older and I am using v7 (from '08) running OS 10.5.8) and I have multiple iPhoto libraries on my macs and I currently have iPhoto open and I want to know which is the iPhoto library currently in use (before I quit it and opt-open it to choose another one on my hard drive), is there a straightforward way to do so? I know about not mucking around changing things within the package that contains iPhoto photos, but I do want to look inside ("just looking, not touching"). The reason for this need is that in an iPhoto library on one of my macs (a PB G4 15"), which had about 10,000 pictures, I noted some of those black boxes in place of a few photos in a row. This seemed to have occurred after I swapped my hard drive into a barely used PB G4 that I just picked up on eBay to replace mine that had, unfortunately been dropped too many times and had just developed the nasty single-pixel-wide horizontal line problem on the screen. When I saw this, I tried to quit iPhoto and opt-open and look at some other iPhoto library on that mac. It opened fine, but then I couldn't find my original library. So, the question became: How do I find the last iPhoto library I opened (or the one or two before that) a few hours ago when I am unsure of its location and I have multiple on my HD? Thanks and sorry for the wordiness. It is 2 am, I just awoke, and I wish I could solve this. [/QUOTE]
