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?
