Import bulk and keep records - always through iPhoto?

Hello

I am someone help import their photos in pictures for Mac. They have been using Picasa and have kept their photos in a series of folders.

Obviously, they'd like to keep this intact folder structure. I am aware that there are no 'files' or 'events' in Photos for Mac, but function of the albums in the same way. I also know that you cannot import multiple files together and kept in separate albums on the way.

So my question is this, are the opinion of people who like to keep intact records when they do a bulk import that they must first configure things in iPhoto, with each case being a separate event?

I know that an import of iPhoto will keep every event as a separate album but I check if there is a cleaner way.

The next question is, if I first import into iPhoto, can I use iPhoto on the latest OS - 10.11.2?  If not, how far to go, or what other techniques people use to run iPhoto?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Best,

CM

See old Toad post here: link to this post

have albums created for them with the same name as the event.  You will need to use this Applescript in the Photos for Mac usage tips section: Photos for Mac: File Import of Image files in the library as Albums

  • Can I update to Snow Leopard and keep iPhoto?

    I'm still under Snow Leopard on my iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3, 12 GB of memory. I hear that iPhoto has been replaced by pictures in Yosemite. For several reasons, I need to update to Yosemite, but am very concerned about the loss of access and usage of my large iPhoto library. (I backed up on an external drive and also Time Machine).  I am definitely a person no-tech and hope someone can guide me through the update to Yosemite in simple language.

    Photos can import iPhoto libraries, but unless you got this copy of iPhoto for the Mac App Store or Apple says that otherwise, you will not be able to upgrade to a version compatible with Yosemite or above.

  • I have problems keeping records and files of the administrator and the user separate in my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700) under Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I have problems separating records and files of the administrator and the user. My computer is a laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700), used as a home computer only by myself, I like to keep the two distinct roles, but am unable to as Vista seems to be considered as one and the same. This scenario has arisen as follows:

    Initially, when I bought the laptop - approx. 18 months back - Windows Vista Home Premium was preinstalled, with the name 'Administrator' as an administrator. To customize the operating system and to use safely, I installed a user 'Renault', as a Standard account user.

    After awhile, I changed the name of the Director of "Renault", for reasons I have can not remember now. This caused Vista to combine folders and files of the two "users" in one, I found difficult to deal with, that I could not operate my laptop as just a Standard user, but is still considered the "administrator." On the one hand, this greatly increased spam in my email accounts. So I tried to reset the name of the administrator as 'Administrator' itself and keep my user name as "Renault", as originally the case.  But Vista me has failed to create a new user under the name "Administrator". So I created a new user under the name "System administrator", with administrative privileges. This has been accepted by Vista.

    But I forgot to change the user account for 'Renault', on the Standard account, so there was BOTH administrator accounts at the same time on my laptop! I realized that now only. The net result was that all the files that I created under the system administrator user were still being displayed under the user account of Renault. A few days back, I realized this and tried to separate the files correctly, but it has not been possible. No matter what I copied the account of the user in the files under the system administrator account, the files have been copied on account of the user himself.

    I tried to fix this by changing the name of the user account in something very different, AND as a Standard user. but this also does not work, as all folders and files under the administrator account system shows it as being under the user account of "Renault" only!

    Then, I deleted the user 'Renault' from the list of the user, but he was not yet of any help. Whenever I tried to create a new file under the system administrator, Vista responds with the message, "C:\user\Rajaram folder is not present. Will I create a new? ", which defeat the same purpose of my tent to isolate the administrator account and the user account.

    SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE WITH A SOLUTION, - OTHER THAN REFORMATTING MY C:\ DISK AND REINSTALL VISTA AGAIN - TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS, IT SEEMS TO ME YOU HAVE CREATED AND HELP ME TO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT AND OTHER UNIQUE STANDARD USER ACCOUNTS PROPERLY ISOLATED.

    I would be always grateful for a quick and helpful response.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful / sorry your proposed solution has not solved my problem. Kind regards. -Rajaram77

    Better to delete the user account except the one that was built in the administrator account that you renamed. Before this backup all your data files of these user accounts.
    Then rename the buil into account administrator as 'administrator '. Then you create another administrator account and use it and never the user built in Administrator account and leave it alone.

  • Upgrade to Yosemite and keep iphoto?

    I wonder if there is a way to Yosemite (or El Capitan) and keep my iphoto library. I saw the photo and is completely useless, poorly structured and so I have to keep iphoto because I don't want to take a step back. No idea how to change the system and keep iphoto?

    Thanks for all the ideas Sébastien

    If you got, or associated with the Mac App Store, put at the operating system level, click here, and follow the instructions.

    If not, only if Apple says.

    It's amazing to me the problem is often to find information to help on a simple topics in Microsoft Help and Support.  For example, as new Vista, I spent over an hour looking for the Protocol parameters to keep my window help and Support, always on top while I'm trying to follow his instructions on a topic.  All the variations of 'always help and support window always on top' I used, in the help on the computer, offline were in vain.

  • Is there a way to enable and configure Volume discounts through the import spreadsheet product? Is there a way to allow more than 2 quantity thresholds?

    Is there a way to enable and configure Volume discounts through the import spreadsheet product? Is there a way to allow more than 2 quantity thresholds?

    Hi Michael,

    You can set thresholds via an import file. The best way to do this (and this goes for all importable data, included webapps, 301 redirects and so on) is the following:

    1. go to the Admin and create a single element, in case you create a product to test and set limits

    2. export these data - in your case, export product list

    3-take a look at how the data looks like in the export file to get an idea of how the format should be in the import file

    Unfortunately, you cannot set more than 2 thresholds, what is not possible at the moment.

    Thank you

    Mihai

  • In a new folder on a Snap Server 2200 it freezes and keeps making new records to the stop
