[QUOTE="morseldoc, post: 1633253, member: 341335"] [b]Same as above[/b] Okay, so probably being the first to reply to your own post is not good manners. Sorry. At 2:30 am, I found some answers to my queries. I did using spotlight to find a photo in my open library using the photo file name, then I looked at each copy of the photo file on the desktop (actually, just to the iPhoto library that contained each one) to see which iPhoto library had today/now as its modified date/time. Satisfied that I had, at least, located my currently open library, I then quit iPhoto and opt-opened it. I noted that the open window takes you to the last library opened also. Still, could anyone help to tell me if there is a simpler way? For example, does it show the name and location of the currently open hard drive somewhere? Preferences? Argh, worse still. I thought I found my initial opened library and copied it to a different mac. When I opened it there (opt-open) and just now looked at it, there are even more empty boxes in lieu of photos. Am I doing something wrong? Moving an entire iPhoto library as a package folder shouldn't be unsafe, true? [/QUOTE]
