Hey all,
I've been using my MBP for a bit over a month, some of the best computing I've ever used, but I have just one little gripe. I simply don't like iPhoto; I've always been a fan of Picasa on the Windows side 'cause it leaves my folders and files intact and I can view all my photos in their file hierarchy. I just don't get the gist of iPhoto. There is a 15GB "iPhoto Library" file eating up space in my Pictures folder. Is it okay to simply delete this and never access iPhoto again?

If you delete your iPhoto library, then all the photos stored within iPhoto are gone. As long as you have them somewhere else, it's fine.

Or you could just deselect this option.

See now that was one of the best things I liked about iPhoto and I hope iTunes eventually adopts the same method of archiving.

^What do you mean? You can turn off iTunes copying songs on import and organising your music folder

That option is already unchecked, but the file is 15gb!

I mean it puts it into a "Container File" instead of a "Folder Structure" I know it's essentially the same thing but it'd make moving iTunes libraries around a lot easier

Sorry for being offtopic

^^ dunno how many people would like that option to be honest. Otherwise i think Apple would've done that, seeing as iphoto has it.

That's not an option I would use.
