iPhoto: Keywords question

Reflect_TRUTH · 04-03-2006, 12:30 PM

I have multiple iPhoto Libraries. One is for personal images. One is for work related images and One is for Graphics.

However, all of these libraries share the same list of keywords. These keywords are critical in my iPhoto use.

Is there a way that I could have a seperate keyword choices for each library? Having them all combined is just not working for me and I'm uncertain of what will happen if I start deleting the unused ones in each library.

could you use one of those apps that lets you run multiple iphoto librarys? That way you dont have to change your keywords and you could split your iPhoto librarys in 3?

If I read you correctly, you already have multiple libraries. I do not believe that Iphoto has the ability to attach different keywords to different libraries, the only solution is to use unique keywords for each library.

Yes, I already have multiple iphoto libraries (simply hold option while opening the app).

Yea, I use the Keyword Assistant plugin for iPhoto. That helps to manage them a little better. However, having a combined list of keywords for all my libraries is rather annoying.
