iPhoto 2 database format
~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/
I kept the library pretty simple, to show the structure:
- 2006/01/07/fallow_keep.png.450x450.2005-12-04.jpg
- original image
- 2006/01/07/Thumbs/7.jpg
- a thumbnail
- AlbumData.xml
- plist file with all the goodies
- Dir.data
- binary
- iPhoto.db
- binary
- iPhoto.ipspot
- text, perhaps for spotlight indexing?
- iPhotoLock.data
- blank at the moment
- Library.iPhoto
- binary
- Thumb32.data
- binary
- Thumb64.data
- binary
- ThumbJPG.data
- binary
