Working with the AutoFill Editor
As you enter metadata in the Metadata inspector’s fields, Aperture checks for previous
entries, and if it locates a match, it completes the entry for you. For example, if you
used the keyword Landscape previously, and you type the first few letters of Landscape
again, Aperture automatically enters Landscape in the field. You can set up and change
the list of metadata that Aperture automatically enters using the AutoFill Editor. You
can enter up to 20 entries for a field type. If you’ve made a spelling mistake when
typing an entry, you can also use the AutoFill Editor to correct the mistake so that
Aperture always suggests the correct spelling.
