Tidbits.com has a report on the 10 new features that appeared in the latest update to iPhoto 09 ( xx ) that Apple neglected to advertise. One of the new additions that is particularly interesting to me and many others with more than one Mac, is the ability to open iPhoto libraries from external drives or network drives. This works for any logged on user not just the person who created the library.
This is a real benefit and means I can now maintain a single library on the network and a backup on a removable drive. Not sure as yet what the performance will be like and it may be that it is not really practical to use a shared network drive for this ( on 100Mb network anyway ). I will have a go and report back on my findings later, meanwhile if you had already spotted this and have tried it out I would be interested to hear how you got on.
