[QUOTE="Vipor, post: 817957, member: 89226"] I was reading one of the F.A.Q. stickies and saw these notes that prompted some questions... .jpg - opens natively with any number of programs, will defualt to iphoto (careful, by dafualt iphoto will make copies of your photos when viewed). .mp3 - will open nativley in itunes (careful, by default itunes will make copies of your music files when played). Questions - Why would the applications (iphoto, itunes) make copies of the files being read? Where in the file structure do the apps place these copies? Do the copies remain until the user deletes them? Do the copies continue to multiply every time the app reads the files? If so, it would seem this would eventually eat up the available storage.
