Make Keyword Assistant work with newer iPhoto versions
Authored by: hhendrickson on Jul 20, '06 06:12:18AM

Just a quick note.

This works great if you use the standard 'vi' text editor from a command line.

Open Terminal and type the following:

cd /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/NetServices/Bundles/KeywordAssistant.NetService/Contents/MacOS/
vi KeywordAssistant
<in vi>
/6.0.2
R6.0.1<Esc key>
:wq

Keep the following commands in mind when using 'vi':

R - goes into overwrite edit mode
ESC - exits edit mode
/ - searches for text that you type (hit return to search)

hi - thanks for the vi instructions, i was scratching my head as to which editor to use.

BUT - for those following these instructions, you need to change the "6.0.2" to something HIGHER than what you have, so that KA will run. I chose 6.0.8, but i guess you could try 7.0.0, but you would be running the risk that KA might not play well with the next version of iPhoto, so be cautious.

nice hint.
