Ah, the old Trash Can trick... I work for a large cable provider and am working with the webmaster updating Macintosh knowledge base articles. I am removing any instances that refer to "temporarily" putting items in the trash. I used to do it since that's what all the books say to do. To avoid this type of thing happening (imagine the added factor of doing this over the telephone!) I will no longer put items in the trash.
In order for a folder to get created/recreated the orignal simply has to be moved from the directory. Creating a new iPhoto library would work just as well if the original had been moved to the desktop. Heck even just renaming it works most of the time (some programs are smart enough to see the folder even after renaming it). The trash is out, no pun.... > Thing is, that left two copies of the iPhoto library > in the Pictures > folder. I put one in the trash and backed up the > other...
