Problems with iPhoto

Hopefully someone has seen this before and can help me out. We have a ton (700+) of digital pictures that we've taken since Abbie was born. They're all on my Mac, and I've used iPhoto to import/organize/publish them all. Today, I noticed that the number of photos dropped from 700+ to around 250. At first I freaked out, thinking that I'd lost all our photos (I have a backup, but it's two months old). Then I looked on my hard drive, and the photos are still there, they just don't show up in iPhoto. Any ideas - how did iPhoto lose count, location, etc. of all my photos?

[ANNOUNCE] Ant 1.5.3 Released!

It looks like I was correct in assuming that Ant 1.5.2 had a bug in it's zipfileset task. How do I know? Because it's on the fixed list for Ant 1.5.3. Via Ammai.com:

The Apache Ant Project has released version 1.5.3 of this popular Java-based build tool. This release is mainly a bug-fix one that fixes the problem with Zip files; it will also be the last one before Ant 1.6. Read more for information.

Here are the bug fixes that have been incoroporated into this release:

* <zipfileset>'s filemode would get ignored and the dirmode was used for the included files as well. As a side effect, WinZIP was unable to extract or display the files, so they seemed to be missing from the archive.

* <ftp> could use the wrong path separator when trying to change the remote working directory.

* <jar update="true"> would loose all original files if you didn't specify any nested <(zip)fileset>s and the manifest had changed.

* If you used a value starting with \ on Windows for the appxml attribute of <ear> or the webxml attribute of <war>, it would be ignored.

* Ant will no longer implicitly add Sun's rt.jar in <javac> when you use jvc and don't specify a bootclasspath.

* The prefix attribute of <zipfileset> would not generate directory entries for the prefix itself.

* starteam checkout can now handle deleted labels.

* The Unix wrapper script failed if you invoked it as a relative symlink and ANT_HOME has not been set.
