iPhoto Keyword Workflow Sucks
I'm not sure when this feature was pulled, but in the "old days" of iPhoto, it was possible to TAB between keyword fields on photos. Not any more! I have been annoyed by this change for a while now and finally decided to post some feedback. I seriously doubt that this will make any difference, but I'm desperate.
Anyhoo, in the old days, if you selected "Keywords" from the View Menu, a field would appear below each photo and it made tagging photos VERY easy. The work flow was tab, type, tab, type, tab, type. My fingers never left my keyboard. It was smooth. Now, I have to click on a photo, move the cursor and click into the keyword field, type, move the cursor and click on another photo, move the cursor back to the keyword field, type, etc.
It is sluggish and annoying at best.
Why was this change made? How could anyone at Apple think that this workflow was better than the way before? Titles and Ratings both appear below photos, and tabbing between Titles is allowed, so why not Keywords? It seems very inconsistent.
I love iPhoto and I just want to make it better.
Let's talk, Apple.
kthxbye
