I love Keyword Assistant as it is truly a missing piece of iPhoto. However, I noticed a while back that ComicLife can't see my photos after I've used KA. I had to wipe out a plist file or something like that to get it work but then I lost all my keyword asignments.

I just upgraded to 1.9.4, added some photos, assigned some keywords and then attempted to use iWeb to create a web page with photos and the media browser in there can fine my audio files and my movies but it can't find my photos.

I haven't figured out how to resolve this but it is something one should consider before using KA. I can't say for certain that this is due to KA and I still highly recommend KA. If anyone can figure out how to resolve this, please post it here.

Problems with Media browser? - chip.roberson

Turns out this is not a problem with KA. It just happens that KA makes using keywords so easy, it makes it easier to exploit bugs in iPhoto. Turns out iPhoto is naive about what it can write into it's XML files and keywords with quotation marks, hash signs and ampersands (at least) will screw up the XML and thus the media browser.

I repeat, this is not KA's fault.
