  This is a remarkable feature addition that hasn't been touted that much by Apple. I'm curious to see how it pans out in everyday use. On one hand, I do thing that managed libraries are good for casual users of the app. But for more savvy Mac users (such as the ones who read this blog), seems like the ability to keep your images in a file/folder structure outside of iPhoto 6 is going to be a big deal.

  Apple has a knack for subtly adding new features without explicitly mentioning them.
  
  I'm curious how "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library" works if toggled while managing a single library. I prefer letting iPhoto managing its internal file/folder automatically (the pre-'06 behavior) but could see the new option being useful for additional content in externally organized folder (e.g miscellaneous images under ~/Pictures) that I've intentionally kept out of iPhoto until now. I do something like that with iTunes, which is more restrictive than iPhoto since it still only supports a single library.
  
  Maybe it would simplify things to have multiple iPhoto libraries, some auto-managed and others not although that doesn't eliminate having to remember to set the copy preference appropriately. At least we've got that option now -- thanks for mentioning it.
