Now that the new version of iPhoto is faster, I want to import a bunch of photos, but i want them to show up as the most recent "roll". instead, iphoto is looking at the date modified, and is scattering the photos in different rolls depending on when they were modified. is there a way i can change the date modified to the same date so i can keep these (hundreds) photos in one roll?

When you import all these photos, is iPhoto 4 not putting them all in the "Last Roll" folder?

ok, i think i see what its doing. i have all these photos organized in different folders in the finder. it creates a new roll for each folder. i'll have to stick them in one folder and import them that way.

My problem is different. I have 12 gb of photos on a firewire hard drive. I want iphoto to catalogue these, but I don't want them copied to my emac hard drive. So far I have not figured out how to do this.

I still am still sketchy on managing my iPhoto files between my ibook and external firewire hard drive. I am just not getting how they work together as I have learned not to fool around with the library. We need a very specific step by step for those of us who don't get the big picture, I guess. I import to my ibook in to iPhoto. After I have printed, or whatever, and need to make space (I take a lot of high resolution photos) I then want to store in an iPhoto library on the exrernal drive. You can not have two running so to use the one on the hard drive I have to make the one on the ibook an old library to read the one on the exteranl. All good until here. Then I get confused how to go back and forth. I often want to go to the external, open iPhoto there (but can't without removing or moving the one on the ibook) No problem going to the library in the external and opening in photo elements to do something but it is hard to find what I want that way. Also, my library is huge. If I have made any sense and anyone can help I would be thrilled. Something is just not connecting in my brain.

Mollusk, try this:
Completely empty your iPhoto library but DO NOT delete the folder in your user folder.
Copy the iPhoto library to your external firewire.
Delete the iPhoto library once it is copied.
Start iPhoto, it should ask you to create a new library or find a library.
Click on find and go to your firewire drive.
The only problem with this, is if your firewire is not on and you start iPhoto, it will ask you again to create or find a library.
Hope this helps
