iPhoto Library Manager expands the functionality of Apple's iPhoto by allowing you to easily manage multiple libraries simultaneously.
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

What's New
Version 3.7.3:
- If iPhoto crashes while updating thumbnails, we now note it in the log and continue rather than halting the whole copying process
- Fixed a bug where faces would sometimes be copied even if they had been rejected in the original iPhoto library
- Added a workaround for an iPhoto 9.2 bug where it provides incorrect paths for some movie files
- Fixed a "Could not find destination index for source photo" error that could occur when copying faces from certain libraries

iPhoto Library Manager expands the functionality of Apple's iPhoto by allowing you to easily manage multiple libraries simultaneously.
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 library. You can keep your photos on an external drive or another computer on your network, share them with other users on your machine, sync them all with your iPod, and use iPhoto Library Manager to keep track of it all.

So, if you have a Referenced iPhoto library & wish to split it up into smaller Referenced libraries, ILM will not do that for you. If you try to do it, the resulting libraries will actually be managed (photos inside the library). Their support has confirmed this behavior.
This trait ought to be documented in the app write up so that people who are considering getting it for use on Referenced libraries realize that the product will not do what they likely want. I believe that the demo mode will only work on 5 photos, so not really enough draw your attention to the design flaw unless you specifically open the new iPhoto library package & examine in carefully (which is not something most of us would think to do).
Good customer service. If the app would have done what I wanted, I'd say it's a great app.

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.
