iPhoto Library Manager ... Apple's iPhoto is a convenient application to use to organize and edit your digital photos, but it restricts you to having to keep all of your photos in a single, monolithic library. iPhoto Library Manager adds an additional level of control over your iPhoto collection by allowing you to keep your photos in multiple libraries and transfer them back and forth without losing your keywords, ratings, and all the other information you've worked to assign to your photos. Libraries can be split into smaller ones, or smaller libraries can be merged together into one large
What's New
Version 3.7.2:
- Newly created iPhoto 7 libraries now show the correct type in the Finder
- Because iPhoto 9 likes to gobble memory like a hungry wumpus, we now relaunch iPhoto periodically during long merge/rebuild operations
- Worked around a problem where an error occurred when trying to back up the faces database for some iPhoto 9.2 libraries
- Worked around an error that could occur when copying faces to libraries on some non Mac formatted drives
- Fixed a bug where an error would occur when trying to copy photos with iPhoto 7.1.5 running on Tiger
- Decreased memory usage during long merge/copy operations
- Fixed a crash that could occur at the very end of a merge/copy operation
- Fixed an error that could occur when copying an album with a custom key photo under iPhoto 9
- Fixed a problem where under some circumstances the "Relaunch iPhoto" button would quit iPhoto, but then not open it again

If you have tons of photos and too many external HDs, this is an app for you. I organised my photos in different libraries and different drives having access very quickly to all my photos.

Of course, there are other apps that can do that. What sets iPLM apart is the "iPod Folder" feature, which allows me to sync photos from different iPhoto libraries to an iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. And even better, it allows me to sync different combinations of photos to different devices. Outstanding!

Preferences option allows the user to specify which Library (if any) ILM should register when it quits, so that subsequently launching iPhoto (or the other iApps) always opens the same Library. The selected Library is indicated in the Library List with a blue dot.

I´d like to suggest just one more essential feature that would make the whole concept complete: to extract a complete library into a folder system corresponding to the album hierarchy within the iPhotoLibrary.
That would be sooo useful to me. i know it is possible because there was a PPC app around which unfortunately doesn´t work on my intelmac.
Please, Mr. developer!

If you shot Raw photos iPLM does NOT copy both the raw and processed jpeg, only one or the other. This means that if you have raw pics and tweak them (which iPhoto then saves to the jpeg version in the Modified folder of it's library) iPLM is still incapable of moving BOTH to a new library.
Unfortunately, (and please correct me if I'm wrong) this shortcoming renders iPLM not much better than iPhoto Buddy. If you need to copy between libraries just use iPB or export to a folder on the desktop, restart iPhoto (with Option key held down) to pick your other library and copy folder that to the iPhoto window.
I suspect it is not possible to copy album hierarchy from library to library, or the dev would have done it.
But if he can do it, he'd have something worth paying for.
I wish Fat Cat success in accomplishing this.

The email I received from the developer stated quite clearly that iPhoto Library Manager DOES indeed copy file hierarchy.
Thanks!
