IPhoto 8 and Make New Keywords

Folks;
I don't yet have iPhoto '08. I was wondering if it has support for:
...make new keyword name "XYZ"
Can anyone verify this?
It baffles me why this feature has been missing for so long!
Steve

Keywords are in the current (iLife '08) dictionary, and I vaguely recall it being in older versions, too.
Maybe you don't know how to access them.
Since photos may have multiple keywords, and each keyword has a name and a value, you can't just 'set keyword'. Keywords are elements of a photo, not a property.
Consequently you manipulate them using something like:
Get:
tell application "iPhoto"
get every keyword of photo 1
end tell
Set:
tell application "iPhoto"
tell photo 1
make new keyword at end of keywords with properties {name: "my new keyword"}
end tell
end tell
in other words, to create a new keyword you have to be specific, both about where to create it (at the end of the list of keywords associated with the current photo or album) and what data it should have.

    Prepare Your Mac for Sale
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer.  After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab.  Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button.  Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button.  Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive.  If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive.  The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive.  After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Now complete the OS X installation.  At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer.  Instead just shut it off.  The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

    They will only be where you put them.  They do not magically appear in new places.
    Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one?

  • I was recently prompted to update iPhoto and make changes to the library.  I did it but it keeps hanging up in step 5 or 6 and won't complete the cycle.  I have used force quit, rebooted and started again several times.  How do i get this to work?

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If that fails:
    Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.

  • Move up one level in path and make new folder

    How do I get applescript to make a new folder one level up from myFolder i.e.
    set myFolder to ¬
    (choose folder with prompt "Where are the image files for which you want to change exif data ?") as reference
    make new folder at myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}
    makes a new folder inside myFolder, but how do I tell it to move up one level from myFolder and make a new folder?
    Thanks.
    Pedro

    You can use statements such as the following ones:
    *tell application "Finder" to make new folder at container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
    or
    *tell application "Finder" to make new folder at container of container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
    and so on…
    And if you want the folder “myFolder” to be contained by the folder “Gallery JPEGs”, use the following statements:
    *tell application "Finder"*
    *make new folder at container of myFolder with properties {name:"Gallery JPEGs"}*
    *move myFolder to the result*
    *end tell*

  • Highlight an address on a web page and make new card based on the address?

    Is there a way to highlight an address in another application, and then create a new card based on that address, where city, state, phone number, etc would all be parsed into the separate fields automagically?

    As per the title really - anyone know of a method of including an email address on a web page without it being picked up by spam bots?
    Impossible.
    Usually if i want to avoid that, I just do a little form with a honey trap, but I'm working on a page that needs contact details for around 100 places, so doing 100 odd forms for a single page might be a little impractical....
    Run it inside a script that parses an XML file based on the link's ID - one script, many links, no directly visible mail addresses (though, of course bots can still parse the XML file itself, if not in a hidden directory or something liek that).

  • Can't make new folder in FireFox Bookmarks

    When in FireFox I go to Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Bookmarks Menu -> Organize -> New Folder and make new bookmark folder, it appears. Then, I move some existing bookmarks into it.
    Logout FireFox, start it again. This bookmark folder is absent.
    What's wrong?

    Hi Ang,
    Sorry, I couldn't try your script until I got home from work today, and.... it works. (Thanks... I'll mark my question "answered").
    Now what puzzles me is why this works when the simpler form did not.
    Some extra info: If I used Script Editor to record a script in the Finder to create a new folder, this is what I got before I ran your script:
    <pre>
    activate
    select window of «class desk»
    make new «class cfol» at «class cfol» "Desktop" of «class cfol» "brendan"
    of «class cfol» "Users" of «class sdsk» with properties {name:"untitled folder"}
    </pre>
    But now, after running your script, the original script now works!! I'm completely bamboozled.... but well done anyway.

  • How to select multiple images and creat new versions???

    How do i select 800 images and make new versions of all of them at the same time? I have tried, but it only does the primary one selected and i don't have primary only selected.

    Option V works for me (duplicate version), as does option G (new version from master).

  • Disable iPhoto and Mobileme synchronization

    How can I stop iPhoto synchronizing with mobileme? I have iPhoto 8.1.1.
    I have used mobileme for a while but have only recently started to use iPhoto because I wanted to create a few books. Every time I start iPhoto it tries to resume downloading my old mobileme galleries (the photos in iPhoto have a "pending" status) and I do not want to do this. I don't even want to see my mobileme galleries in iPhoto. It even downloads galleries which I recently published using iPhoto and creates new events (my mobileme galleries are not necessarily the same name as my events) as it does so but those are duplicate events.

    Have you got a solution to this problem, i am having this issue, and can't get a way to turn it off.
