WTF??

As I've mentioned before, I love my new MacBook Pro. It's super-fast, and super-awesome. I love it not just for the hardware, but also for the software: it came pre-loaded with Leopard and iLife '08, both of which I hadn't bought previously. w00t!

But... I've just discovered something in iPhoto 7 that, if I'm not misinterpreting it, is unbelievably dumb. It appears to be the case that, when you're viewing a photo at full size in regular view mode (not edit mode, not full-screen mode, just regular view mode), you cannot drag and drop it into an album. It seems you can only drag & drop when you're more "zoomed out" (i.e., viewing multiple photos at once).

Here's a video of what I mean:



Fellow iPhoto 7 users, please tell me this isn't true, and that I'm doing something wrong. Because if this is true, ARGH!!! How the hell am I supposed to move photos into various albums as I go through them one-by-one? It's incredibly asinine to have to "zoom out" each time, just to drag the photo over, and then "zoom" back in. Ridiculous!
