Network Locations and iPhoto / iTunes


hi, i'm new macrumors forums, forgive me if make mistakes! here problem, , annoying me.

home network consists of 2 windows 7 pc's, 1 macbook pro running snow leopard , home server, running whs 2011. on windows, documents, pictures, music , videos libraries pointing network location (//home-server/documents, etc). works well, itunes on windows fine using //home-server/music/itunes files.

on mac os x, can quite use network locations documents, music , videos, because documents accessed finder, music itunes (which fine network paths) , imovie (which works fine files on network drive).

iphoto not. currently, pictures folder (//home-server/pictures), consists of further event folders contain pictures. store pictures in way: pictures < florida 2010 < picture.jpg

know, how make iphoto point these photos , not copy them local location. way, if make change in iphoto, replace old file in network location, new one. want keep current folder structure intact, because other 2 windows pc's use windows live photo gallery, fantastic job of pointing current folder structure , changing files there, without need stupid databases, iphoto.

have noticed that, if uncheck 'copy files iphoto' option in preferences , import pictures, , edit picture, not put edited picture onto network location, leaves me old, un-edited picture on network location , newer edited picture on iphoto. isn't because, can't view on windows machines.

appreciated.

thanks, jack
