Adding keyword to multiple selections deselects them - very annoying bug

When I have more than one image selected in order to add keywords to them, as soon as I add one keyword they all get deselected and I have to select them all over again. Why does this happen? Is it a bug? It is REALLY annoying.

Max:
I assume you're using the Info/Keyword pane to add the keywords, right? When you're done adding the if you click on one of the selected files you can return to the library window and still have all of the selected photos remain selected. At least that's how it works for me.
If you're doing it a different way please describe exactly how you're going about it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Adding keywords to multiple images - Help!

I'm getting really frustrated. I've been a long time iPhoto user, but my husband bought me Aperture and I'm trying to move to it. . . .anyway, I'm trying to add keywords to some of my pictures (I miss my "hot keys"). I have the Keyword Controls open on the bottom of the split view window and I've set up a variety of keyword preset lists. . . Anyway, the problem that I am having is when I select multiple images to apply a keyword to, it is only applying the keyword to the "primary" (meaning the boldly outlined in white) image - even though the other images as selected (outlined in a less bold white boarder) the keywords are not assigned to them. It's like I have to add the keywords to each image one at a time. I've looked at a bunch of the material online and it's clear to me that you are SUPPOSED to be able to add keywords to multiple images at a time. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the tip, it was really bugging me! Pitty you cant just click on the Keyword in the display rather than have to drag and drop it! I know you can use the control bar but for each item here I think a max of 12 or so are displayed, when you use hundreds of keyword to catalog medical images its not very handy, iphoto was much easier in this regard!

Adding keywords to multiple images

After Re installling Aperture (reinstalled entire system when persistant mail problems got the better of me) I can no longer add k/words to multiple images as I could before. I recall oringally having the same trouble but cannot remember now how I solved it. Am I in the wrong veiw mode perhaps? I am correctly selecting multiple images its just when I drag the keyword/s to one of them that is the only one that will receive them. Any ideas would be grartefully received.

Magic, thanks for your advice people, Merry Christmas from downunder Im knee deep in paper wrapping as I write and no doubt will find all my gadgets without batteries by days end.

Adding keywords to multiple photos has stopped working

All day I've been importing photos and adding keywords to them. I add some keywords to all photos during the import, then after importing I go through each photo and add additional keywords as needed. It worked fine all day, but all of a sudden when I highlight several photos and add keywords, it's only applying the new keywords to the last picture highlighted. I've closed the program (LR5) and reopened it, but that didn't help. What have I done wrong?
Thanks

Thank God for this forum! :-) Everyone is so helpful! (btw, as I read your response "d'oh" came out of my mouth.
Thank you.

Adding keywords to multiple photos

Any idea how to make this work better? I know it's possible in the "keywords" window but that's not very usable when you have 700 different keywords. I really miss the Keyword Assistant...

Ouzone
Check out Keyword Manager. It's a big step up an keyword assistant and they are working on updating it for v7 right now.

Files disappeared while selecting/deselecting them in Bridge CC.

Hi all! I was selecting/deselecting a number of files on a SD card from my camera. It was attached via a card reader. All of a sudden a message appeared quickly so I could not read it fast enough and all the files are now gone! Any ideas? Seems Adobe has decided to stop helping people in person.

Sounds like you lost connection.

I think there is a very annoying bug after the latest update of firefox, can I talk to someone, or chat with someone so I can get rid of it

Since the latest auto update of my firefox browser I am experiencing strange issues. Every evening when I stop working, I close my browser (closing all the tabs that I am working on and in the morning, I restore the session) . For many years everything worked just fine ... untill after the last auto update of the firefox browser .. all of a sudden a got 302 errors ( a blank page with the description 302 and I believe "page moved here" or something to that extend ... i try to click the link and get nowhere.
I first noticed it on a few wordpress pages (backend ) that I was working on and which were restored from the previous day ...
thinking it was a server error, since we have several vps and dedicated servers .. i contacted the company who hosts our servers ..
they looked into it and apparently .. there were no issues on the server side and neither on that particular computer ... but our server hosts told us .. that it is probably browser related and seemed to have something to with a bug with the cache of the browser
we didn't know what to do .. it was very annoying .. but at that point it only happened once on a hew pages .. so we decided to see what happened the next time
Next time we did not restore a session with wordpress pages .. but with the google search engine open and on a few other tabs logged into social media .... and as was saidn by our server hosts it was indeed not related to work that we did on pages on our servers ... since that time even the google search engine homepage ... showed us ... moved here
Can you pease look into it and fix this .. we are doing the same thing as many years on the same computer also a few years .. so it is not anything we do wrong either .. it is most definitely browser related
so can you please fix it asap .. since when we work on wordpress .. that is not the only thing that goes wrong .. we also have difficulty uploading updates ... when updating sometimes after the update of any particular change on a wordpress page is done ... we are also redirected to a blank page .. so the updated page does not want to load ... in that case we have use our back button ...
which sends us back to the right page ... but with the old data on it ... then we have to refresh that page .. and only then we see the page updated ... so it seems that there is an issue in both direction with the caching of the browser after the last update
Kind regards,
Robert

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

Aperture apply keywords to multiple selections

I cannot apply a keyword to more than one image at a time.
I select multiple images and drag a keyword to one of the images expecting it to be applied to all of them (as it has in the past) but it only gets applied to one.
Did I set something to prevent multiple updates?
Thanks
Harv

Here's how I do it.
Goto Window Menu, then Show Control Bar.
Again Window Menu, then Show Keyword Controls.
This places a set of buttons along the bottom control bar with the keywords I set up in the keyword HUD. It has a pull-down menu within it to select different groups of keywords depending again on how you set it up. Select multiple images, call up the grouping you need and click the buttons. All the images get keyworded.
Hope this helps.

Iphoto 08 adding keywords to multiple photos

I am trying to add the same key word to to multiple photos. In the past version, I would just click, select, click to select multiple photos. Then right click and it would bring up the picklist of keywords and I would simply select the keywords to put on that whole group of photos. I have tried to do this in iPhoto 08 but the keywords are no longer in the photo info window.
I can't even find a way to view the picklist. I only see the keywords which show up in each sinlgle picture when I click add keyword to a single picture then put in a few letters.
There has to be a better way, but I'm stumped.

MattTorg
Menu Bar -> Window -> Show Keywords
Select the pics and click on the keyword.
If you want to apply sets of keywords, you can drag them to the top of the keyword pane, and apply multiple keyword to Pic(s).
If you have a lot of Keywords, check out Keyword Manager

HELP! - adding keywords to multiple images in Bridge

I have about 2000 images that a client wants multiple people to add keywords to. Is there a way to export thumbnails and keywording fields to excel and reimport when the keywords have been added? Photos are of different locations and need to be emailed to those locations. I am trying to streamline this...any suggestions?
Thanks!

One is to extract the data to a CSV file the other is to import data from a csv or tab delimited file.

Adding keywords to multiple images stopped working

When I was first using Aperture, I was able to select multiple images and add a keyword in the metadata area, and they keyword would apply to all the images. After a few months, it started to only apply the keyword to ONE of the selected images (whatever was the last one selected). Ever since, I've had to use the lift and stamp tool instead, but that's vastly more of a pain.
A friend who also uses Aperture still is able to select multiple images and have the keyword apply to all, and he has the latest version of Aperture. The feature worked with all his versions of OS X 10.4, and now with Leopard too.
So what gives? Anyone know if there's any way to fix this?

Yes, there's a way to fix this. Press 'S'.
This toggles something called 'Primary Only' which controls whether all selected images are keyworded, rotated etc. or just the image with the thicker white border.
You can also change it via Edit>Primary Only where you will see a checkmark if it's active, and also via the control strip at the bottom of the window, just to the left of the rotate buttons.
Ian
P.S. I can recommend downloading the podcasts from http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/aperture/, one of the ones with Joe Schorr specifically goes through Primary Only among other things.

Can't append keywords to multiple selection

E71 very annoying bug

Try this on your E71 communicators please.
I'm facing one strange bug and wanted to ask some of the E71 happy owners to try to trigger it, 'cause I'm not sure whether the bug is native or is due to some programs I installed.
Here's the sequence of actions that triggers the bug:
0) Contact search is turned on (tools > settings > phone > call > contact search = on)
1) In the home screen, start typing the name of an existing contact having 2 or more phone numbers in it, but with no default number for a phone call selected for it
2) When you see the desired contact in the list above, scroll up with the D-pad and highlight it
3) Press the green Dial key on your keyboard - the list of the contact's phone numbers appears
4) Now press the Cancel key (right soft-key), like if you decided not to call the contact
5) The phone hangs and after 3-5 sec restarts - here's the bug!
P.S. I have the latest phone software available.

Nope sorry doesn't do it here either.
Before you reset the handset, remove the memory card and see if it does it with the Memory card in the device.
There could be something in the card thats causing it to hang, what applications have you got running?
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software

Adding same keywords to multiple images

How can I add keywords, or change keywords, to multiple selected images at the same time instead of having to do it one at a time? Or can I? I know how to change or add to metadata on multiple images, but it won't retain the keywording changes on all the images.

Be sure you are selecting multiple images in the GRID mode in the Library panel not the FILMSTRIP mode. Then if you add a keyword to multiple images it will actually stick. You can also delete keywords from those selected images.

Multiple Selection on Subscreen - PROBLEM!

Hi,
I call a Function from a Program. This Function calls a screen with a SUBCREEN AREA. For this SUBSCREEN AREA I set SELET-OPTIONS. When executing the PROGRAM, we get to see this screen and subscreen area with select-options. BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN MULTIPLE SELECTION for them. I click on the arrow and no window pops up for Multiple selection.
How to make it work? thanks in advance.
Julia
Please help!

baguhan,
then replace with this code.
DECLARE
Num_Total_Records NUMBER;
Num_Loop_I NUMBER;
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK(<BLOCK_NAME>);
FIRST_RECORD;
LAST_RECORD;
Num_Total_Records := TO_NUMBER(NAME_IN('SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD'));
FIRST_RECORD;
FOR Num_Loop_I IN 1..Num_Total_Records LOOP
IF <CHECKBOX> = 1 THEN
<................................................>
END IF;
NEXT_RECORD;
END LOOP;
<................................................>
END;
