Sorry to be starting another thread on this ridiculous situation but...
iPhoto 5.0.2 + OS X 10.4 just don't play together!
I've tried everything I've seen and can think of but it does no good, so far I've
- Re-indexed spotlight x 2
sudo mdimport on iPhoto Library x2
Used Automater to change all the comments to append the word "spotlight" so it will hopefully reindex and pick them up.
Repaired permissions x2
done the deselect images and set privacy to exclude the iPhoto library and revert x2
trashed the iPhoto Metadata file
and still nothing! I can't believe that Apple have cocked this up so badly, IPhoto must be (along with iTunes) the big app for the platform and it can't even talk to Spotlight properly. And the fact that it wont work with anything less than iPhoto 5.0.2, says a lot about it IMHO.
and to top it off, I imported two new photos today, with the expectation that these at least would work, but Spotlight didn't pick up their Title as being "cats", bloody hell!
/Rant Off
anyone else got any suggestions
