[DM-MUG] iPhoto and mounted discs

[Darcy Baston]

Hey Jim.

I've got iView to manage multiple libraries in multiple windows. But  
I want to use iPhoto because it's integrated into iLife apps, Mail  
and Safari. It also manages files for me, whereas iView requires you  
do the extra step of keeping a manual folder hierarchy.

With iPhoto, if you're using your main library in /users/youruser/ 
Pictures/iPhoto Library, and you insert a DVD previously created with  
iPhoto's burn backup feature, that DVD mounts in iPhoto in its album  
listing so you can browse two libraries at once. If you have two DVD  
drives, and insert two DVDs created with iPhoto, the app then lets  
you work with 3 libraries simultaneously. I was trying to simulate  
that without using external optical media.
