So now when I refer to a convenient way to do this, I'd like to basically just browse through them, kinda like I do on the Mac, all at once, broken down by events. The downside is that the folder structure for all Thumbnails have an additional layer of complexity, making them nearly impossible to easily browse them. Now there are no photos in my iPhoto library and I can't open my original library up.

The Thumbnails are nearly identically named to their Masters counterparts. After I downloaded some photos from my media card onto my iMac I got a msg box I've never seen before and I can't remember which option I chose. The Masters folder has a Thumbnail folder counterpart with Thumbnails of all the masters, divvied up also by date of upload.This is a heavy network load if all I want to do is quickly flip through them all (2 - 5 sec to load each photo). The Masters folder has the full size masters of each photo, which tend to be in the 5 - 15MB range.Therefore searching for photos between many folders is based on the date a photo was uploaded rather than the date it was taken.

iPhoto library divvies up photos in folders on the file system according to when the photos were uploaded to the library.Then, after I map the Mac to my Windows instance as a network share, I can navigate to the path \Pictures\iPhoto Library\Masters\.Īnd I can find all of the originals. I actually can view the Mac's contents in windows by connecting to it as if it were a Windows share. I am wondering if there is a convenient way to view this library remotely on a Windows computer. On my Mac, Running OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks, I have my iPhoto library with 10,000+ photos.
