![]() ![]() So if my girlfriend logs in and imports pictures, and iPhoto creates a new folder to put them in (first time of the day), I cannot import pictures in that same folder (same day) without first changing the privileges to Group: Read and Write. If I try to do so, iPhoto says "Cannot create User/Shared/iPhoto Library/1/159.jpg". I then click "Stop" and iPhoto unexpectedly quits. Is there a way to change the default privileges for iPhoto created folders to Owner: Read and Write and Group: Read and Write ?
