iPhoto Library Manager Icon

Renaming a library


You can assign any name you wish to each of your libraries in the list by first selecting the library, and then clicking on its name to begin editing it (just like renaming a file in the Finder).


By default, the name you assign here does not affect the name of the name of the library itself on the disk, so you can have different names if you wish. You can also check the "Keep library names in sync with folder names" option in the preferences window if you prefer to keep the library name the same as the name on disk. With this option enabled, iPhoto Library Manager will detect a change in either name and update the other name to match.


If a library shows up in red in the list, it means that library does not exist on the disk at the location iPhoto Library Manager last knew for it, or the disk the library resides on is not currently available. If the library is kept on another disk, insert or connect the disk, and the library name should change back to black, indicating the library is now available. If the library has simply been moved to a different location, use the "Add Library" button to add the library in its new location to the library list (you can then use the "Remove Library" button to remove the old, red entry from the library list).
