![]() The Photos library database can be found in ~/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Database/Library.apdb this is an SQLite database that can be opened using the command-line sqlite3 tool, or any GUI you prefer. So I decided to look directly in the Photos library database to see what was going on. So it looks like another problem with my original iPhoto library. I created a fresh new iPhoto library, populated it with some photos, and migrated that library to Photos, but I could not reproduce this problem. What can I do to separate Last Import from the iPhoto Events folder so I can safely remove the latter? I have re-imported the original iPhoto library for now so that its original state is preserved. Undoing the deletion, but it just brings back both Last Import and the iPhoto Events folder. Repairing the iPhoto library before migrating to Photos, but it doesn't help either. Repairing the Photos library using the same method as iPhoto (hold Command ⌘ and Option ⌥ when opening the app), but it doesn't help. Importing new photos to see if Last Import will reappear, but it doesn't. (I imagine I can get it back by editing either the app's plist in ~/Library/Containers//Data/Library/Preferences or one or more files in the package, but I'm not sure where to look.) Now here's the bigger problem: if I delete the iPhoto Events folder now, I will lose the Last Import album permanently with no apparent way to get it back through the UI or the application's preferences. When I move photos out of Last Import and import a different set of photos, both thumbnails update. The thumbnail within the folder matches the thumbnail of Last Import. When I go back to the top-level album view, the iPhoto Events folder is shown to contain one album thumbnail unlike the inside view. I've moved all other albums out of the folder, but it still says that there is one album left inside, even though the view shows that it is empty inside. I can tell that the lone album is Last Import because: (Does the iPhoto database consider Last Import to be an "event"?) While getting used to all the changes, I've noticed a problem: it seems that the Last Import album is stuck in the iPhoto Events folder for some reason. I've just updated to the new Photos app on OS X and migrated my iPhoto library to the new app.
