Get the donation-ware program iPhoto Buddy. It lets you create and switch between multiple 
iPhoto libraries with one double click. You can make as many different libraries as you want. I 
use them as master albums to sort my over 50,000 images. I have about 20 libraries in my 
pictures folder.

Have you ever noticed that when you insert a CD/DVD that has an iPhoto library burned to it, 
it mounts automatically in iPhoto so you can browse your current library and the mounted 
on?

I'm trying to simulate this so I can have multiple libraries be accessible from within the iPhoto 
app. I can't make it work. :)

I've tried:

-used Disk Image to make a disc image, and copied an entire iPhoto library into it.
-used Toast 8 to create a disc image, that mounts like a CD/DVD with an entire iPhoto library 
on it

Does anyone know what iPhoto adds/changes when the 'burn' feature is used so that a 
mounted device gets analyzed for content?
