A Very Apple-ey iPhoto Quirk
I was doing something in iPhoto, when I noticed something very odd. I could drag a single image into an album, but couldn’t drag multiple images. After a bit of Googling, I found the following Apple Knowledge Base article:
What to do if you can’t drag multiple photos in iPhoto
Apparently, my computer was missing the Helvetica font (don’t ask). You see, iPhoto likes to draw a nice little number icon showing how many items you’re dragging, and it likes to do it using Helvetica. And if it can’t have Helvetica, it just won’t let you do the drag at all.
How Apple-ish to just completely remove a feature if it can’t execute it using the perfect font!
