Re: iPhoto transfer
I was hoping that some of the more high-profile members would comment on Bob Howells rebuke to Rob Phillips, but it appears that this is unlikely to happen. The 'don't-make-waves' principle seems to have won out. Who knows, in the end, maybe that's the best was to move forward. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to comment. Rob Phillips was in error to send a graphic to the mailing list. He deserved to have that brought to his attention. However, he did not deserve to be shouted at in an overbearing manner by any self-styled guardian of bandwidth. A reminder was in order, no more.

Hi Vlad, I felt that Rob's own reply was considered and thoughtful - and that perhaps no further comment was needed. Susan.

Re: iPhoto transfer
Hi, I have hesitated to comment on the issue, but since I started it all by posting the initial question, I will add my two cents worth. I have been on the list for the last 7 years or so since coming to WA. A friend here in Bunbury made me aware of WAMUG and as a long time Mac user I have enjoyed and appreciated being a member of the list since. Being able to access the resources of the list is very useful when living in the country. I would observe that there has been more than one case of rage in recent times. However, I have noticed that the rage is selective. I went back to read the Guidelines and Etiquette on the Mailing List page and did not see a reference to the issue of bandwidth - but I may have missed it. I have noticed that there are frequent violations of the etiquette rule about checking the archives, attempting to solve the problems prior to posting the question etc., which have not resulted in rage. I would echo Vlad's comments that where there is a violation it should be noted, unless it is a repeat offence. However, the Guidelines and Etiquette should be applied consistently. If I were new to the list and encountered the web rage I would have an entirely different impression of WAMUG. I would like to thank those who take the time, effort and energy to make the list available and useful to us all. I hope that common sense prevails so that we can all enjoy and benefit from each other in a rage free environment. I would also like to thank Rob Phillips for pointing me in the right direction. Indeed, if I had taken the time to read the documentation for iPhotoManager which I have used, I would have found how to achieve what I wanted to do. So, yes I plead guilty to not having checked the documentation I had available to me prior to posting the question on the list. As an aside, I also spoke with a technical specialist at Apple about the matter - he was unaware of the matter, checked it out and advised me that it was related to the inherent structure of iPhoto - he forwarded the issue to Cuppertino for immediate consideration. I thought it interesting that a product specialist had to do some checking himself to determine that when exporting an album one had to choose between sequence and title.

Re: iPhoto transfer
Hi Rob, I currently use PhotoManger, but it will not allow me to do what I want. I contacted Apple because I still have Apple Care on the MacBook. I was put through to a product specialist after a bit of prompting. The product specialist discovered that indeed, there is not a way to export an album while retaining BOTH titles and sequence - it is a problem with how the program is structured. He was surprised that this was not possible - he said that it was possible back with iPhoto 4, but I can't remember that for sure. He has contacted Cupertino to advocate for the feature being made available in any future upgrade. I was surprised that this product specialist was not already aware of the limitation - does that say something about the level of training? Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath!

He has contacted Cupertino to advocate for the feature being made available in any future upgrade. I was surprised that this product specialist was not already aware of the limitation - does that say something about the level of training? Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath!

iPhoto transfer
In response to Bob Howells. It is always quite a tricky judgement call whether to post on- or off-list. In fact, my first response to Norman Leslie was off-list. When he responded to me, and I thought about it a little more, I felt that it was important to share what I thought was a solution with the whole list, because Norman's post had implied that there was an unsolvable technical issue. I got halfway through my reply, then realised that Norman was expressing uncertainty about what I had suggested. I thought that a screen dump would allay his uncertainties, and included it. My intention was to be helpful, and I don't think this warranted being shouted at. I will think carefully when and how I make future contributions.
