Resolved iPhoto conundrum!

[jogl]

This is my first mac, and first post here so hi!

I've just spent the evening sorting out my iphoto library (rotating, tagging, faces etc etc) and realised that I had 'copy to iPhoto folder on import' selected. Now all my photos are within the iPhoto 'package'.

Obviously i've unchecked this option now but is there any way I can get iPhoto to relink to the original locations of my photos (user/photos/) without losing all the extra information which I guess is inside the 'package'?

The reason for this is that i'm accessing the same library on PCs so the folder structure needs to make sense.

Hope I explained ok
Thanks in advance for any help!

Select the library/event/etc that you want. File >> Export.

Thanks, but all this does is give me another folder with the photos in.

I already have the original folder structure, I just want to Relink the iPhoto library meta-data (?) to the original structure.

Any ideas for that?

Delete and reimport without the "copy" option checked. That's basically your only option, at least that I can think of.
