The latest iPhoto (6.0.2) help says I can change the name and/or date of
a film roll. It says to select the library then View > Film Roll and click on the film icon in the viewing area.
This doesn't seem to do anything on my system. Any pointers?

Yep: You need to change the name in the "Information" area, in the
lower-left corner of the iPhoto window. (If you can't see it, click
the "(i)" at the bottom of the window.) With the roll name
highlighted, you can then change its title in that information window.
Annoying, I know.

Yes. Go back and read the help entry again. The info you want is there.
You paraphprased items 1, 2, and 3. Why did you leave off item 4 (which
is the actual answer you claim to be looking for)?
There's even a picture!

'K. I've read all the posts so far. The OP deserves some slack. This is perhaps the most convoluted thing I've encountered, and I once messed with DVD Studio Pro 2 with no video experience, having never seen a DVD.

Well, if you look at iPhoto help, it's organized into mini-tutorials.
The one that's applicaple here is titled "Editing photo and roll >information". The first entry, "Editing a photo's title" gives explicit >instructions, with pictures, on displaying the Information area.
Now, he's excused somewhat for not reading all the entries in the
section. We all skip stuff.
BUT: If he'd included all four of the instructions in the help file "4.
Type a new name in the Title field." which was *right in front of him*,
and then asked "Where the heck is the title field, I don't see it"
someone, possible even me, would have said "Click the "i" in the circle
at the bottom left."
Instead, this is just one more case of someone wanting others to do his >learning for him.
I put, verbatim, the four instruction here in this thread.
It's attitude like yours that keeps people away from newsgroups

No, you put the first three in your post. I added the fourth.
alt.revisionist.history is in the other direction.
I did post all 4 and your remark to my original question still did
not answer or help me. Mr. Balderstone provided the salient post.

I didn't help you, yet I did. Wow. I didn't realize I could do both at
the same time. Cool.

Where, exactly, did you post the fourth item from the help page? I see
1, 2 and 3, and they're not quoted verbatim, either, as you claimed in ><00A548B4.2C78FE4D@SendSpamHere.ORG>
Of course, we're all missing the most important fact: There's no
reason on earth that I shouldn't be able to click on the film roll's
name in the browser window and edit it there, just as I can in the
Finder, in iTunes, and so on. The name's right there! Why make me
go to another panel to actually edit the name of the roll? (Or a
picture, for that matter.)
I missed the earlier discussion in this thread, but after reading your message I opened iPhoto, double clicked on the name of a film roll and
was able to edit or change it--just like in the Finder.
Also, like in the Finder, if you press Return while a roll is selected,
you enter the edit mode. Unlike the Finder, if you press Enter, you do
not go to the Edit mode.

Huh... when I double-click on the name of a film roll, all it does it
close up the disclosure triangle. (This is in iPhoto 6.0.2.)
Or are you talking about the name in the "Information" panel? If so,
that one I knew about. My complaint is that you can ONLY change it
there, and not in iPhoto's window itself. (It'd be the Finder
equivalent of only being able to change a file's name in the Get Info window.)

I'm referring to the panel to the left of the panel with the preview views--the one labeled "source".

Ahh, OK, then. I was referring to the film rolls themselves in the
preview panel -- I want to be able to change them there, not over in
that panel on the side. Since that's where my eyes are when I see
that it's named "Roll 303," that's where it seems logical to make the change. But in this incarnation of iPhoto, I can't.
