I do it for all my galleries. I create the folders manually though. Under Sites on your iDisk create a folder (or series of folders) and place the images in them. Then you can access them via links like
So I have Sites/galleries/xk8/pictures/002.jpg on my iDisk. I think you can do something similar if posted via iPhoto.
Code:
http://homepage.mac.com/robbieduncan/galleries/xk8/pictures/002.jpgSo I have Sites/galleries/xk8/pictures/002.jpg on my iDisk. I think you can do something similar if posted via iPhoto.
If you want to keep the images in the "Pictures" folder in the iDisk and link to them on the web, you need to use this link:
http://homepage.mac.com/<username>/.Pictures/<whatever pic>
If you want to keep them in the "Sites" folder, you just need to do:
http://homepage.mac.com/<username>/<whatever pic>
I just figured this out recently because I also wanted to keep the images in the Pictures folder
http://homepage.mac.com/<username>/.Pictures/<whatever pic>

Sure or PM me on this site. I think that dr0wnoutthen0is may have your solution though!

Wow, well done. I'd have never thought of checking that! That's a bit strange though as it means that .Mac is either:
a) Not hosted off Mac OSX!
b) Hosted off Mac OSX, but off UFS instead of HFS+
Strange either way...
Buzz! Wrong Answer!robbieduncan said:
You forgot that Mac OS X Server supports case-sensitive HFS+, which is what the .Mac server is most likely using.

My bad. I thought that HFS+ was case preserving, but not case sensitive. Still a little confusing for users as the client version doesn't seem to be the same as the server!
You are correct - in the client, at least - that's the way HFS+ behaves.robbieduncan said:
In Mac OS X Server, there are two options: HFS+ (just like the client), and HFS+CS (HFS Plus Case Sensitive), which is identical to HFS in all respects besides case sensitivity. In related news, Apple is said to be developing another HFS-based file system, called HFSX - it will debut in some future version of Mac OS X (my guess is 10.5), and drives that use HFSX will NOT work with the Classic environment.
