iPhoto and Virtual Machine

[sgtbob]

I use Fusion 2.0 to run Windows in a virtual machine on my iMac so that I can use my Legacy Genealogy program. Unfortunately, Legacy does not currently have an Apple program to do this.

Could someone assist in describing how I would make an 'event' in iPhoto to be titled Genealogy, so that I can add all my genealogy photos. This 'event' would need to be copied (or somehow made available) to the Legacy package within my 'Virtual Machine/Windows/Legacy' to enable Legacy to find the photos. The online tutorial doesn't touch on this issue so how do I transfer this event or make it available to the Legacy program.

Fusion 2.0 intimates that all files can be made 'visible' across the iMac and virtual Machine, but I have not been able to find how this is done.

Would appreciate some help for this iMac 'noobie'.

Files, yes, and your iPhoto library can be made visible but Windows wouldn't know how to open it.

iPhoto event is not a file, but a grouping. Kinda like a view in a database, it's not a physical table but a custom selection of both tables to create a 'virtual' table.

You can create a folder/shared folder, and export the images in your event. That's the easiest way.
