PHD vs. iPhoto?

[kimonostereo]

Hi all,

I’m trying to figure out why iPhoto keeps throwing sync errors on our 10.6 PHD accounts?

I currently have the ~/Pictures folder set to sync at login and logout and to never sync in the background.
Each time the user logs in they get an error “There is a problem syncing the file “iPhoto Library” ”

I’ve read other threads about users having this issue but haven’t seen a solution to it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Does this mean that it won’t work even if I sync only on login/logout?

Is the standard approach to just not sync this folder?

I’m seeing similar problems syncing 1Password. I turned off server side tracking, but the performance has gone to hell on the laptop. That’s due to massive memory use by the sync process. My machine has 3gb RAM (older MBP maxed out) and when the sync process runs VM goes up to 2gb or even higher on occasion. That causes the MBP to pretty much roll over and die (even with a 7200 RPM drive in it…)

Perhaps I’ll just turn off sync for iPhoto entirely and see if that works better.
