My workaround for now is to rename all my photo filenames before I import the photos into iPhoto. And naming those photos was almost as much work as taking them! Not good. So if iPhoto freaks out and corrupts its database (an all– too– common occurrence from what I’ve read), all my photo titles will be lost. The original JPEG file in the iPhoto Library folder is still called “DSCN1234.JPG”. For example, when I rename a photo from “DSCN1234.JPG” to “On The Beach”, the “On The Beach” name is only stored inside iPhoto’s proprietary database. However I don’t like the idea of trusting my entire photo library to an application that stores its data in a proprietary format. I like iPhoto as it’s a quick and easy way to manage and retouch my thousands of photos (and I also like using Galerie to produce lovely web albums from it).
