I use Keyword Assistant with iPhoto to tag all my photos before uploading them to flickr. Unfortunately it has the unfortunate habit of running back to a compatibility mode when run on a version of iPhoto which it doesn’t know about. This means Keyword Assistant won’t make new keywords until the author releases a new version.

There is a not so simple way around this restriction, I just opened up the KeywordAssistant binary which lives in /Applications /iPhoto.app /Contents /NetServices /Bundles /KeywordAssistant.NetService /Contents /MacOS/ and change the stored version to the current version of iPhoto. In this case I bumped it from 6.0.2 to 6.0.3.

Naturally this kind of hackery might cause Keyword Assistant to do bad things like make iPhoto crash, so save a backup of that binary (and maybe even a backup of your photo library data files) before changing things around.
