Aperture: easily clear keyword selection ?

Searching your Aperture library through a keyword search is a great way to find the images you need. Yet, the way it is implemented in Aperture raises a question: is there a simple way (preferably a single action) to clear the check boxes in the keyword search dialogue ? I have not yet found it.
The problem I encounter is the following: after selecting multiple keywords in the search dialogue the easy way to get back to the all-image display is to uncheck the keywords selection box. The checks with the keywords themselves, however, will still be there. Checking the keyword selection checkbox again will re-display the selected images. So far, fine. But now (or tomorrow) I want to make a new selection. As soon as I check the keyword selection checkbox, the previous search results will be shown and I must now manually find out what keywords are checked. Since my keyword list is rather long, this is a cumbersome process. What I have been looking for is a simple command or button to uncheck all keywords in the search dialoge to start with a fresh list, but I have not been able to find such a command.
Am I overlooking something obvious or is this just missing from Aperture ? Any help is appreciated.

dinky2,
What I have been looking for is a simple command or button to uncheck all keywords in the search dialoge to start with a fresh list, but I have not been able to find such a command.
To start with a fresh list, add a second keyword rule from the "Add Rule" menu and delete the old rule bypressing "-" or disable it by unchecking it.

  • Aperture Adds Strange Keywords

    Hello,
    I have imported about 20 iPhoto libraries into Aperture 3.  Many of these have keywords assigned in iPhoto and they appear correctly as keywords in Aperture.  Aperture adds other keywords such as iPhoto Original, etc. which I understand.  However, there are cases in which Aperture has also added one of its Project titles to a photo's keyword list (these were not keywords in the iPhoto images).  If I open the Aperture keyword list these are in it but  they are not in the Filter HUD keyword list.  What is going on here?  I am wondering if the Aperture library is corrupted and I need to restore from the Vault backup which I think was made before I noticed this problem.  The iPhoto libraries seem to work fine but could they be a problem (Aperture uses iPhoto Event titles as Project titles)?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Mike

    Hello Leonie,
    Thank you for your response.
    Yes, I did mean Keyword HUD, sorry.  If I examine the Keyword HUD and the Keyword Filter with all photos in the library selected, the oddball added keywords appear in the HUD but not the filter.
    Thanks for the tip on hierarchical  keyword categories.  I tried that with Library Manager but when they were shared among all my libraries the structure I set up was lost.  I plan to use this feature in Aperture once my library is complete.
    However, the strange keyword question may be academic since I discovered after my post that I had the following warnings from Console which I interpret to mean serious problems with the library:
    One Console Warning like this (last one on the list):
    12/6/11 4:21:16 PM          Aperture[1095]          An instance 0x134a66970 of class RKVersion was deallocated while key value observers were still registered with it. Observation info was leaked, and may even become mistakenly attached to some other object. Set a breakpoint on NSKVODeallocateBreak to stop here in the debugger. Here's the current observation info:

    Many Console Warnings like this (should have saved more of them):
    12/6/11 1:41:32 PM          ScreenSaverEngine[1132]          Couldn't load image for path: /Volumes/OWC On-The-Go (SATA)/Aperture Library 11:30:11/Aperture Library1.aplibrary/Previews/2011/11/29/20111129-101150/kqu+Y3vXTLulk88738Y6ew/I MG_0517.JPG.jpg
    I wonder if "mistakenly attached" has anything to do with my keyword problem.  I found IMG_0517.JPG.jpg (is  ".JPG.jpg" a valid extension?) and found 5 in Aperture, all of which ware taken at different places and different dates.  The keywords were all OK. Four had the extension .JPG and one had no extension, just IMG_0517.
    My plan now is to restore from my Vault copy and check for the odd keywords it it.  If they are present I guess I will have to trash the library and start over.
    Sorry for such a long post.
    I welcome any observations on this.

  • How to clear the selected values in the JCombobox

    Hi All,
    Can you please tell - how to clear the selected values in the JCombobox
    I have four dropdowns in my application, When I click "CLEAR" button, what ever the values selected in the four drop downs should go off and view as "SELECT" in all the dropdowns.

    In addition to the above you should also check out [Combo Box Prompt|http://www.camick.com/java/blog.html?name=combo-box-prompt] which makes it easy to display the default prompt.

  • Illegal use of keyword "SELECT"...

    Hi,
    I am new to TimesTen and using version 11.2 with Hibernate.
    I get the following error while running my application--
    *01 Feb 2011 12:03:29,201 [WARN] org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter: SQL Error: 7025, SQLState: 37000*
    *01 Feb 2011 12:03:29,201 [ERROR] org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter: [TimesTen][TimesTen 11.2.1.7.0 ODBC Driver][TimesTen]TT7025: Illegal use of reserved keyword "SELECT", character position: 459 -- file "ptSqlY.y", lineno 8158, procedure "reserved_word_or_syntax_error"*
    Would really appreciate some help as tyo how to fix this problem.

    I've spoken to various folks today about this. I'm not a Hibernate / TT dialect expert by any means. However, this SQL is a (sort of) documented restriction in TimesTen. This usage of SELECT is a 'derived table' and, unlike Oracle and many other databases, TimesTen currently only supports these in the FROM clause but not in other places such as, here, a projection list.
    So, it's not a bug but a limitation of our current SQL implementation.
    With regards to where it's coming from, based on the info that is provided, we think that the source of this SQL error is not directly from Hibernate or from the Hibernate dialect class that the application uses. We think this scalar subquery in the select list is defined in a Hibernate mapping document as something called a derived property.
    In Hibernate, Java object fields are usually mapped to table columns using a property element within the hibernate-mapping element like this:
    <hibernate-mapping>
    <class name="com.timesten.tptbmas.Tptbm" table="TPTBM">
    <composite-id name="key" class="com.timesten.tptbmas.TptbmPKey">
    <key-property name="vpn_id" column="vpn_id" />
    <key-property name="vpn_nb" column="vpn_nb"/>
    </composite-id>
    <property name="directory_nb" column="directory_nb"/>
    <property name="last_calling_party" column="last_calling_party"/>
    <property name="descr" column="descr"/>
    </class>
    </hibernate-mapping>
    This is the usual case, however, it is also possible to map Java object fields to 'derived' values from the database table. These 'derived' values are expressions in the select list instead of simple column references.
    A 'derived' property is defined in the property element using the 'formula' attribute.
    For example:
    <property name="descr" formula="'VPN ' || TO_CHAR (VPN_ID) || ' extension ' || TO_CHAR (VPN_NB)"/>
    The value of 'formula' is any valid SQL expression that can appear in the select list.
    Our belief is that you are defining a scalar subquery for 'formula'. For example:
    <property name="descr" formula="(SELECT COUNT (*) FROM DUAL)"/>
    And this generates the error when executed against TimesTen.
    The solution is to rewrite 'formula' using a select list expressions that TimesTen supports - or change things to avoid the need for a derived property in the select list.
    If this doesn't solve it, it's probably best to log an SR so we can obtain various files from you that we would need to look into it further.

  • Clearing of selections screen

    Hi!
    I wanted to asked how to clear a first screen of selections screen ( contains Parameters ans select options )  from another scrren ?
    I created an ALV report. The first screen of the report is a selections screen that contains select options and Parameters. The Alv was created by Object oriented method (not by the function 'reuse_alv_*' ) in
    a second screen. I want from the second screen on certain circumstances to leave the alv screen and to set the first screen ( that contains select options and Parameters ), however when i call the first screen i want to clear all select options and parameters, and my question is how to clear all select options and parameters before i leave to the first screen ?
    thanks
    moshe

    Hi Moshe
    Just I said in my answer you can't do a CLEAR statament in that point of your code, because the system manages the return of old data in selection screen.
    The system do what importing old data from ABAP MEMORY in the event INITIALIZATION, so or you clear the ABAP MEMORY or you clear the selection-screen in the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
    You can try this:
    IF g_it_d_data[] IS INITIAL.
    CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_FOR_INTERACTION'
    EXPORTING
    headline = text-011 " 'Information'
    text1 = text-010
    ticon = 'I' " 'No data was found for
    " the selection criteria.'
    button_1 = 'OK'.
    here i need to clear parameters and selects option
    before leaving to screen 0
    FREE MEMORY.
    LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
    ENDIF.
    or you place FREE MEMORY statament in INITIALIZATION.
    INITIALIZATION.
    FREE MEMORY.
    You can try to use CLEAR and REFRESH statament in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
    Only first time
    CHECK FL_FIRST = SPACE.
    FL_FIRST = 'X'.
    REFRESH <SELECT-OPTION>.
    CLEAR <PARAMETERS>.

  • Is there a way to clear keywords from a keyword search?

    Is there a way to clear keywords from a keyword search? I have hundreds of keywords and have to search thru them to make sure they are all unchecked. It takes forever. Is there a key combo for this?

    Found it. Hold down option and command and click on a new keyword and it unselects all the others (Same command as iCal)

  • Selecting Clips, adding keyword, selected clip not showing up in keyword collection

    I am having issues while editing a soccer game for a highlight reel.  I have done this many times without issue, but with one project, for certain keyword selections, it is not showing up.  I am selecting a clip from a longer piece of game footage, then hitting command-k to open the keyword collection shortcut interface.  I'm inputting the keyword into it and hitting return.  It makes the sound like the clip has been marked as a key word, but when I go into the keyword collection in the event history, the clip is not showing up.  Again, this is only occuring in one project and hasn't been an issue in the 10 other similar projects I've done.  Any thoughts?  Is there any way to fix this recoding the entire game? Thanks.

    There shouldn't be any sound, just the animation and the blue bar. Are you getting that? Make sure there is nothing in the search field in the browser. Try trashing prefs.

  • Raw images from 1GX are rendering soft in Aperture - crystal clear on Lightroom

    I have just upgraded to a Canon 1Gx MK II as my point & shoot.  RAW images are rendering terribly soft in Aperture - crystal clear in Lightroom.  Any ideas?

    Have you in-camera settings applied, when you take your RAW photos? Aperture will ignore any of the in-camera settings when developing the RAW.
    Have a look at Keith Barkley's User Tip. See this link:
    The Big Three: Setting your camera for the best Aperture RAW results
    Also, you may want to check the RAW Fine Tuning settings in the Adjustments panel. Perhaps these setting have been changed from the default values.

  • [tip] search for / selecting NO keywords (selection photos without a keyword)

    Probably it is old news but I couldn't find it here that fast.
    I have 20.000 photos, some have a keyword(s) some have not. So I searched for a selection of photographs without a keyword. But there is none.
    The trick is to add a special keyword you normally not use like (only) "_" (underscore) to all photos without a keyword. But there is no way to select photos wihtout a keyword... So I came up with a two step strategy and this trick only cost 2-3 minutes with 20.000 photos:
    Add the "_" keyword to all you photos.
    Select all photos with a real keyword by shift clicking on all keywords tags except "_".
    Remove the "_" keyword from those photos.
    Now select the "_" keyword or search on the "_" keyword.
    A how to, in 14 steps:
    1. Hit G, goto library (in left panel) and click on "all photographs"
    2. Select all photos by pressing ctrl-a
    3. Wait till LR is ready displaying all used keywords in the right keywords panel
    4. In right panel under keywording/keyword tags add the keyword "_"
    5. Wait till LR is ready updating all your photos (20.000 photos: 1 minute)
    6. Goto "Keyword tags" in the left panel
    7. Select the (suppose the second) keyword just after the "_" keyword by left clicking.
    8. Scroll down till the end in the keyword list
    9. Now, shift click on the last keyword
    10. You now selected all keywords except the "_" keyword and all are highlihted
    11. Select all photo's (ctrl-a)
    12. Wait till LR shows all the keywords in the Keywording/keyword tags panel on the right
    check: the keyword "_" should have no asterix like "_*" if so: goto step 1!
    13. Remove the "_" keyword and press enter
    14. Wait till LR is ready
    From now on while selecting the "_" keyword or searching on the keyword "_" LR will only show the photos without a (real) keyword.
    Of course, as soon as you add keyword(s) to your foto(s) you have to delete the "_" keyword.
    Speed tip: when starting keywording, select the photo you like to add real keywords, ctrl-k brings you directly to the keyword tags panel in edit mode, hit backspace (to delete the "_" keyword and start typing your keywords and hit enter or tab when done. Then immediately (of course) the photo dissapears from your "_" keyword selection photos and the next photo is selected and is waiting for you to hit ctrl-k and start again. Look mam, "no mouse used!"
    Have fun!

    >I have 20.000 photos, some have a keyword(s) some have not. So I searched for a selection of photographs without a keyword. But there is none.
    There is actually, and it is much simpler:
    Using the Find Panel, choose Text: Keywords and Rule: Are Empty.

  • Aperture 2 and Keywords

    Does anyone have any information regarding any changes or enhancements in the way that Aperture 2 handles keywords. Have there been any upgrades with this feature. For example, I have frequently wanted to be able to conduct an hierarchal keyword search, i.e. to be able to search on a top level keyword and find photos that are included beneath that keyword.

    I don't know specifically about any improvements regarding keywords from Aperture 1.5 to 2.0 but in Aperture 2.1 you are able to add and search hierarchical keywords structures.
    One very important thing to know is that you ALWAYS have to add keywords to the hierarchical keyword structure in the keyword HUD BEFORE you apply them to your specific images.
    Aperture is actually smart enough to distinguish between the same word used in different places in your keyword hierarchy. Here is an example. Let us say that you have created the following keyword hierarchy in your keyword HUD:
    /Wildlife/Bird/Duck/Male
    /Wildlife/Bird/Duck/Female
    /Wildlife/Kangaroo/Male
    /Wildlife/Kangaroo/Female
    If you do a simple text search by typing the search word into the search field then:
    If you search for "Wildlife" all your male and female ducks and kangaroos will show up.
    If you search for "Bird" your male and female ducks will show up.
    If you search for "Male" your male ducks and male kangaroos will show up.
    But if you are looking for only your male ducks then you just open the keyword brick in the search HUD and here you will see that there are actually two different "Male" keywords. Just next to those two keywords the upper hierarchy keyword is listed in parentheses. You just check the one you want.
    Again in order for this hierarchy structure to work then you must add new keywords in the keyword HUD before you add them to your images. All keywords you add to your images by typing directly into the keyword field in the metadata viewer will appear at the top level of your keyword hierarchy.

    Hi all,
    do anyone know how to set a combobox clear from selection (none of the value is selected) ?
    pardon me for using wrong words.

    Hi
    Set the datasource value of the combo box to nothing ("").
    If not using datasources, use this code at form startup.
    oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("dsUID", [type],[size]);
    oCombobox.Databind.SetBound(true, "", "dsUID");
