iPhoto Buddy 1.3.2 has been released
iPhoto Buddy is a Mac OS X application that allows you to easily create, manage, and switch between multiple iPhoto Libraries.Download
The advantages of splitting your One Huge Photo Library into multiple, smaller ones include improved iPhoto performance, increased flexibility in organizing your digital photo collection, and a consistency with most other Mac applications that allow their respective data to be stored in as many documents (in this case, Libraries) as you like.
New in this version:
Introducing iPhoto Buddy Menu – a persistent Status Menu in your Mac’s Menu Bar that provides instant access to each of your Libraries – even when iPhoto Buddy is not running. Requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
Create new Libraries in one simple step – no more creating empty folders in the Finder first.
A new Preferences option allows the user to specify which Library (if any) Buddy should register when it quits, so that subsequently launching iPhoto (or the other iApps) always opens the same Library. The selected Library is indicated in the Library List with a blue dot.
Corrected an issue where Buddy would launch iWeb in stead of iMovie from the contextual menu or the Dock Menu.
Corrected an issue where Buddy could quit iDVD without giving the user an opportunity to save changes to their projects first.
The Preference item to prevent iPhoto from overwriting the user’s choice of registered Library with the other iApps was removed, as it was ineffective.
Performance and stability improvements.
