I'm a little behind.  I saw about 15 responses which didn't include 
this, so I responded.  Then I saw the rest.

Like the OP, I'd found this new default behavior to be very annoying, 
though I'm pretty sure it first happened a couple of releases ago.

What on earth could they be thinking - we *have* a mail program - why 
would I want iPhoto to be its own half-assed one in addition?  It just 
seems like a bizarre change to me.

While I'm here wondering out loud:

Didn't iPhoto used to have built-in local-network sharing of photo libraries?

I guess Apple thinks we're all going to use PhotoStream sharing, which 
is just absurd.

The canonical collection of photos is in my copy of iPhoto.  Wife 
wanted to do some stuff with pix - used to be that she could log on 
herself and see my library if I shared it (and if I was logged in and 
had iPhoto running).  Now I had to move the library to a shared folder, 
carefully update and manage file permissions, make damned sure I've 
quit iPhoto, and have her hit option when starting it in order to 
select my library.  Moreover, I need to make sure she doesn't change or 
delete anything.  She can't just get a read-only view of it.

Am I misremembering the ability to share and view other people's libraries?
