I was hoping that some of the more high-profile members would comment
on Bob Howells rebuke to Rob Phillips, but it appears that this is
unlikely to happen. The 'don't-make-waves' principle seems to have won
out. Who knows, in the end, maybe that's the best was to move forward.
Nevertheless, I feel compelled to comment.
Rob Phillips was in error to send a graphic to the mailing list. He
deserved to have that brought to his attention. However, he did not
deserve to be shouted at in an overbearing manner by any self-styled
guardian of bandwidth. A reminder was in order, no more.

In response to Bob Howells.
It is always quite a tricky judgement call whether to post on- or
off-list. In fact, my first response to Norman Leslie was off-
list. When he responded to me, and I thought about it a little
more, I felt that it was important to share what I thought was a
solution with the whole list, because Norman's post had implied that
there was an unsolvable technical issue.
I got halfway through my reply, then realised that Norman was
expressing uncertainty about what I had suggested. I thought that a
screen dump would allay his uncertainties, and included it. My
intention was to be helpful, and I don't think this warranted being
shouted at.
I will think carefully when and how I make future contributions.

All the dragging I was doing was within the iPhoto Lib Manager
window. I didn't use the finder.
I just selected the album I wanted and dragged it into the library
I wanted, like on the attached picture. (sorry about the
attachment, list admin - it's only 124k)
Try it with something harmless first.

Hi Rob,
I'm always nervous about dragging and dropping in Finder for
iPhoto, iTunes - there have been two many horror stories when
things go wrong in iPhoto. Do you view doing it within
PhotoManager as a "danger free zone"?
