DESCRIPTION
iPhoto Buddy is a small Universal Mac OS X application that allows you to use more than one photo Library with Apple's iPhoto as well as with its companion programs, iMovie and iDVD. The advantages of splitting your One Huge Photo Library into multiple, smaller ones include improved iPhoto performance, increased flexibility in organizing your digital photo collection, and a consistency with most other Mac applications that allow their respective data to be store in as many files (documents) as you like.

iPhoto Buddy uses a simple, streamlined interface that was inspired by iPhoto itself. Anyone that has used iPhoto will immediately feel right at home using iPhoto Buddy. It truly is a companion application--a real buddy!

RFNIKON  When I originally discovered iPhoto Buddy, I was struggling with iPhoto on my G4 iMac. After iPhoto Buddy I was moving along. Now I use it with my new iMac and continue to find it the most useful Apple Mac application. I now have more than 10 libraries most of them on my external hard drives.I recommend it to all my Mac buddies. And it's FREE. With each version increase I donate using Paypal.

Thanks  (Version 1.3)

MORPHER  I have used iPhoto Buddy for several years now (currently running on X.4.11 with iPhoto 6.0.6) as a professional tool. It provides a facility which I am astonished iPhoto does not provide -- it allows you to have multiple photo libraries. I have just counted -- I have 49 covering different places, different activities and different interests. Plus the family one, of course, which makes a round 50!

iPhoto Buddy allows me to set up a library quickly and easily, then to access it in moments.

I wouldn't be without it. And since I need it, I have shown its creator my appreciation by donating. I urge you to try this neat program and support it too.  (Version 1.3)

RIDERZ  I have just upgraded to Leopard. During the upgrade, I decided to change from my last simple iPhoto library to iPhoto Buddy.

Never got it to work. Always got this message when I try to launch it.

"An exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down."

Am running a 1.33Ghz Powerbook G4, Leopard, iLife 08. installed the developer tools as well.

Anyone seeing the same problem?  (Version 1.3)

Consider making a donation to the author, as all proceeds (until the end of 2007) will go to two cancer charities, in memory of the author's brother-in-law.  (Version 1.3)
