IPhoto 6.0.2 Wishlist

Question

I know it's not christmas, but here is my wishlist for iPhoto 6.0.2:
- "Group Keywords"
If you have a lot of keywords you may want to group them, so the list doesn't become too crowded.
- "Sort Keywords Alphabetically"
Of course we all want to have a "sort keywords alphabetically" option.
- "Retain Or Delete Original File?"
When applying changes to a photo, iPhoto should ask me if I want to retain the original file or replace it. Not everybody wants to always keep the original files until the day he dies.
- Slideshow:
I want an option to show keywords or comments when running a slideshow (ok, iPhoto can show titles, but no keywords or comments - why?)
- "Show Original/Modified File"
Apple, please give us this feature, we are used to it from iTunes.
- Improved Library Management:
If you want to manage separate libraries on a Mac, you'll have to use tools like iPhoto Buddy or iPhoto Library Manager. If you want to keep separate libraries on two or more Macs, you'll be missing an easy sync tool, too. (You may want to keep one main library on the Mac at home and a second one on the Book when traveling; after returning home, these two libraries should be easily merged, retaining keywords, comments and all other changes.)
Apple really should integrate improved management features for separate libraries into iPhoto itself, as well as a "merge library" or "sync library" function.
- Video Clip Integration to Slideshows:
If you have taken pix and videoclips of an event, you may want to see them displayed in a slide show right in the order you've taken them. So iPhoto should support video clips right within a slideshow (like Graphic Converter does).
- Full IPTC support!
iPhotos keywords and comments system is an island.

Answer 1

Another good application for managing multiple libraries is iPhoto Library Manager. The free version is like iPhoto Buddy. The paid version lets you move photos between libraries while maintaining keywords, comments, titles, etc. Currently the only way to do so. Either application is very slick in moving between libraries.
