iphoto 5.01 problem

[dpclark]

Hi,

Recent Switcher to a G5 imac.

Got the uptodate program ilife 05 update at the start of Feb - I can see all my photos from within iphoto - but - if I'm in mail or even finder for example I can see nothing in my pictures > iphoto library > date folders ? but if I use find in finder to find all files by extension .jpg I can then see the photos..... strange - have repaired permissions - to no effect. any ideas?

This isn't a problem, it's just the way iPhoto works. Ignore the folder structure and use iPhoto for all image manipulation. Think the Mac way - use drag and drop etc. from the iPhoto window, use the Share - Export command etc. iPhoto is not designed to have you accessing the image files from the Finder, so don't try and you'll be fine!

Thanx for the help,

Still trying to get used to the fact that my mac is actually easier to use than a windoze box - and that I don't have to do all the leg work anymore!!!

Got the file I needed out now,

Thanks Again
