What do you mean? It worked just fine for me.

Oh, do you mean you put the pictures in the iPhoto Library folders yourself? Obviously that wouldn't work. You need to import them from the iPhoto application. The dates should be embedded in the photo itself so shouldn't be a problem.


I agree though, iPhoto is a bit dodgy and I don't feel like my photos are very safe.
