EventName

[Matt]

Hello

Thank you for all your work. Is it possible to also write the event
name into the IPTC metadata with the keywords? I know it is created
in the folder but that doesn't get transferred if sending the photo to
someone else.

Thanks
Matt

I will consider it as an option. You can of course always assign a
keyword in iPhoto before exporting.

Thanks. Is there an easy way to assign Event names as Keywords (I am
new to Mac)? It does get messy eg Christmas 2007, Christmas 2008 etc
to use as Keywords for one-off events.

I am also now getting (didn't see this before), using v1.5

You can select all the photos in the event, and then assign a keyword
to all of the pictures at the same time.

I fixed that ValueError you are seeing in 1.5.2.
