In iphoto, I want to have sub-albums, by which I mean albums within larger albums. Is it possible to do this? I'm afraid I know the answer, but I'd just like to be sure. Thanks.
 
Now we are having the (officially) fourth revision of iPhoto, and still this very logical and important feature is missing.
This is sooo dumb. It´s almost like the missing multiple undo in Photoshop until version... 5 or 6? Such stuff makes an app much less usable.

Yup, iPhoto STILL sucks at archiving. It still follows the Microsoft idiotic hand-holding mentality: "giv'em lots of widgets - they like widgets. But whatever you do, don't giv'em control of the data - they'll start thinking it's theirs"
This is not the only example either. Making us create a user even on a single-user machine follows the same mindset. If you don't believe me - wait for your first serious system crash (yes, OS X can crash) and the message that tells you you can't access any of your data because the computer no longer recognises you.

As Apple becomes stronger it seems to be heading further down this path and Hector's tagline becomes more relevant every day:

"the day apple holds a majority share is the day i buy pc"​

Shame on Apple for doing this. Apple makes arguably the prettiest collection of applications for Mac OS X, but can't get little usability issues like this worked out. Twice, Mac OS X has "hard-locked" on the login screen on me - the weird thing was that I could still click on whatever the pointer happened to be over, and Mac OS X would respond (by going to sleep or whatever) - it's just that the mouse pointer was frozen and would not move, so I had to restart the computer by holding down the power button.
