Aperture Keyword Bug!!?!?!?

Wow, I've just spent hours assigning keywords in Aperture and the Smart Album I've created and re-created does not accurately reflect the selected keywords.... OUCH! Is this a known bug? Please, is there a solution???
I have noticed that one KW: "Debbie" seems to show all of the images that are tagged with another KW ("Wine"). Some KWs seem to be accurate.... for others there is no explanation--it's just wacky.

Thanks,

Also make sure to give Aperture some processing time. With thousands of photos and changes, it can take a minute or more for everything to percolate through the database. I've noticed this especially with mass keyword changes. Close and re-open Aperture to force all changes to take effect.
In case you don't know, "{Option}+click" on a keyword in the keyword list of the Keyword Filter Rule will deselect all other keywords and select only the clicked keyword. This can be useful for troubleshooting Smart Albums which aren't behaving as expected.
You should also check that you don't have duplicate keywords with the same name at different levels of your keyword hierarchy. ("People/Friends/Debbie" is not the same as "People/Debbie" even though each shows as "Debbie".) Aperture has yet to correct this unhelpful behavior.

Aperture Keywords From iPhoto

1) I have imported my iPhoto Library
2) I realize that iPhoto keywords are distinct from apeture keywords and I need to select photos by keywords.
a) I have selected the old iphoto keyword via the smart setting library. The old photos appear. I then add new aperture keyword. (ie Sally Smith). This is easy.
b) Then I delete the old iPhoto keyword via the most annoying thing of creating the keyword (see previous posts). Then shift enter the keyword away (see previous posts).
c) HERE IS THE QUESTION. But it remains in the "not so" smart keyword library. Now I will have twice the number of keywords and have to remember which are old dead iPhoto keywords. I tried the plist trick (no luck). What do i do? Stay with iPhoto. This kind of *****.

I suspect that Aperture writes the keywords to the images or their version copies. to get rid of the old iPhoto keywords, make sure that they're no longer in the Keyword HUD and then rebuild the Aperture database. this will probably remove unused keywords from the filter list.
while launching Aperture, press and hold option-command.

Iphoto keywords versus Aperture keywords

I was happy to succesfully import my iPhoto library. But surprised that the keywords were distinct from Aperture keywords. That is, I have a keyword "Birds" in iPhoto, but when I go and add the keyword "Birds" (by typing it in the box) to a new photo, I now have two keywords, "Birds" and "Birds (iphoto)" which are distinct. I want them to be the same. How do I do that?

As DaveyJ pointed out, the iPhoto keywords are in a sub-level.
Your best course of action (this will take a while) is to create a smart album and set it to show all images with one of the keywords in the iPhoto group/level.
Once Aperture shows you the applicable set of images, use the Keywords Control bar to add the non-iPhoto version of the keyword to all of the images; i.e., Select All, then click the keyword. With all of the images still selected, use the Keyboard Controls bar again and shift-click on the iPhoto version of the keyword. This will remove it from the selected images.
You could write an AppleScript to help with this process. I've been experimenting and it can be done. You would use a Smart Album to gather the iPhoto keyword images together and then run the script to remove the iPhoto keyword and add the non-iPhoto keyword.
Here's an example script (that works) to get you started:
tell application "Aperture"
-- set the target to the "Smart beetles" album at the top level of the library.
tell album "Smart beetles" of folder ""
-- get a list of the images in the album.
set x to every image version
-- move through the images one by one, deleting and creating the appropriate keywords
repeat with i from 1 to x's length
tell x's item i
-- Note. if the keyword is top level, then the parents value is "".
delete (every keyword whose name is "Australia" and parents is "Location")
make new keyword with properties {name:"Sydney", parents:"Location"}
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell

Batch-Change Aperture Keywords

Does anyone known of a script that can convert the iPhoto keywords to normal Aperture keywords?
There seems to also be an issue if I re-classify a keyword in the Keyword HUD, there ends up being 2 versions of the keyword in the search HUD because some images are tagged with Family>Dad and some are tagged with Family>Parents>Dad.
I want to be able to update all the photos that have Family>Dad and change them all to Family>Parents>Dad.

Thanks. That script helped and it gave me an idea for another way of doing it.
1. Add the offending iPhoto keyword manually to the Keyword HUD (create a top-level keyword iPhoto and create the keyword under it).
2. Create a smart album doing a search for the offending keyword (say, Pets (iPhoto)
3. Create a keyword button set containing both the offending keyword and the new keyword (make sure you know which is ordered first because the buttons will not show the distinction)
4. select all the images in the smart album
5. Add the new desired keyword to all the images
6. Shift-click the offending keyword to remove it from all the images
For reference, the apple script that does the same thing is below (adapted from the script posted in the other thread):
<pre>
tell application "Aperture"
-- set the target to the smart album "Test" at the top level of the library.
tell album "Test" of folder ""
-- get a list of the images in the album.
set x to every image version
-- move through the images one by one, deleting and creating the appropriate keywords
repeat with i from 1 to x's length
tell x's item i
-- Note. if the keyword is top level, then the parents value is "".
-- Note, multiple parents should be in ascending order, for example: "Image type Photo specs" for the Action keyword
delete (every keyword whose name is "Pets" and parents is "iPhoto")
make new keyword with properties {name:"Pets", parents:"Family Personal"}
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell

Aperture Keywords VS IPTC keywords

The Aperture manual says:
Important: If you are planning to export your keywords as IPTC data, make sure your keyword phrases are no more than 64 characters in length. Longer keyword phrases may not be displayed properly in other IPTC editors or operating systems.
OK. But how do I export my Aperture Keywords to IPTC data????
Thanks
Marion

I copied the text shown below from the online manual.
*Applying IPTC Metadata and Keywords to Your Images*
<SNIP> You can apply these keywords to your images when
exporting to JPEG, TIFF, and PSD file formats. <SNIP>
To include metadata with images at export:
1 Select the image or images you want to export.
2 Choose File > Export > Versions (or press Command-Shift-E).
3 Navigate to the location where you want the exported images placed.
4 Choose Edit from the Export Preset pop-up menu.
5 In the Export Presets dialog, select the export preset you want to use to export
your images.
6 Select the Include Metadata checkbox.
7 Click OK.
8 Choose a name format for your exported files from the Name Format pop-up menu.
9 Click Export Versions.
I am ok for steps 1,2,3. But, after I navigate to the folder, I don't see where I can "choose edit from an Export Preset Pop-up Menu"
I don't have an Export preset Pop-up Menu....
Is it on the file navigation window? Or the main Aperture pull-down menu?
Thanks

Library Keyword Bug - Another example

Lightroom v 3.3
iMac OSX 10.6.7
Here is another example, a pretty egregious example of the keyword bug.
Keyword: Linda shows 811 photos
The Library Filter Shows 801 photos
LR opens 599 in the grid view.
What gives?

I hit Photo > Stacking > Expand All Stacks before taking the screen shot. I brought in 15 more photos. But there still is a big discrepancy between the keyword count, and the filter count on top.
Any experient or suggestions. I DO NOT want to rebuild everything, it will take me weeks.

Aperture Keyword inconcistency

Aperture Keyword Inconsistency
All photos were migrated from iPhoto to Aperture because Apple insisted iPhoto database not as stable as Aperture.
What I am trying to understand…
If the Keyword Hud shows as Flowers …. 1,000
If I select Photos at the top left I am told that includes all photo's in the data base.
In Filter: Photos … Flowers entered
The filter finds only 900 Flowers
Where are the other 100?
How do I resole this.
This is the first of several Keyword mysteries. Hoping this answer will unlock a solution
to the others.
Thanks in advance for any kind help.

Frank Caggiano and Badunit … Thanks guys for the help.
Why use Filter: Text rather than Filter: Keyword
Started out that way. When several keywords in HUD were not represented in Filter: Keyword, I thought of using the text w/ copy/paste for exact duplication.
Kirby, Can't thank enough for hanging with me.
Stacks .. After manually checking and opening the few I saw in Library > Photos, all photos not unstacked, I unstacked them. Then did: Menu Bar > Stacks > Open All Stacks. Open All Stacks menu selection appears dimmed. Close All Stacks shows un-dimmed.
Trash Items .. Rejected, great tip. I have just trashed stuff and not emptied trash till I could get around to verifying I'm not deleting something valuable. I have found good stuff, though infrequently, in the trash. It has just mushroomed.
Graphics clearly depicts what I was clarifying just below. Again, nice graphic!
From our "trash" discussion: Keywords in trash add to active image keywords to make the total in Keyword HUD. ie: 50 Flowers in "Photos", 10 Flowers in Trash … Keyword HUD shows 60? A text search would reveal only the 50 in "Photos"
So: when I put all trash into a new Project and Check for exact numbers… I should get super close. GREAT IDEA!
Kirby, not two rules at once. See note at top to Frank and Badnit. Text rather than Keyword because that Keyword does not appear in the Filter: Photo > Keyword > include all of the following .. list of keywords. Nice graphic! Using the Filter Trash will give me equally another way to investigate
Once I get the numbers understood and in line, then I want to address why a few keywords appear in the HUD but can not be seen in any of the ways I've tried to uncover them. I bet I find them in trash. Several HUD Keyworfd that show 0 … when I go to delete the Keyword I get a Warning: 6 photos have this keyword .. Or something quite similar. Others showing 0 stay 3 versions have this Keyword.
I have gone over the Filter rules in the manual and parameters. It does bear way more careful review, which I will do.
I will: Look at images in Trash via the graphic example & document findings … Take images out of Trash to new Project then see if numbers come into line and document … Report results here.
Review Filter rules and parameters.
Great, Great ideas, suggestion and help!!! I'll be back.
Owww, a PS: By way of qualifying accuracy. I have searched everywhere for a discussion on … Unstack versus open stack. Nothing I looked for answered this. I totally believe they are the same thing ... yet the to commands appear at opposite ends of the Stacks menu selection.

Smart Album Keyword Bug

I have a library of 17,440 “Referenced” photos, grouped across multiple projects, none of which contain more than about 400 photos. Prior to importing these images into Aperture, I had already keyworded all of them; the keywords are embedded within the image files.
707 of these images have the keyword “Cruise_Ship” (photos of or on a cruise ship). I then created a smart album with a SINGLE filter, “Keyword = Cruise_Ship”. I have no other filters selected, I have no other keywords selected in the keyword filter, and at the top of the keyword filter, I have selected “Include ALL of the following”.
However, instead of the 707 expected images, this smart album actually displays 5336 images. I have verified, via the metadata browser that in fact most of these images DO NOT contain the keyword “Cruise_Ship”.
So, I tried the following (in order). After each step, I once again checked the contents of the smart album, and in each case it displayed 5336 images instead of the correct 770:
Repair Database
Repair Permissions
Rebuild Database
Reboot Computer
Rebuild Database
As one last attempt, in the Keyword HUD, I renamed the keyword “Cruise_Ship” to “CruiseShip” (no underscore). The HUD correctly indicated that that keyword was used in 707 versions. I then in fact changed the keyword in those versions. I then created a NEW smart album, with the only filter being “Keyword = CruiseShip” (again no underscore) and once again the smart album incorrectly displayed 5336 images.
I am using Aperture 3.0.3.
I’m out of ideas...

I can't say I have the same bug. However, I do have one that might be worth checking on.
On my Aperture 3 here the keyword panel padlock works back to front, i.e. if it's displaying an open padlock icon, the keyword panel is actually locked, rather than unlocked as it should be, and vice versa.
This stumped me for a while, as I also kept finding unauthorised changes happening to my keywords. Now I know to operate the padlock opposite to what I expect, it does stop any unauthorised changes.
(yes, I submitted a bug report).
Cheers.

Aperture Keywords

I have Aperture 3.4.1 installed. I have used Aperture for several years. I am not new to this.
I have covered all the basics here. I have run a repair on my library, and restarted the computer. I will discuss the problems that I am seeing.
I use keywords a lot. I have a smart album that specifically shows me images that do not have keywords, so that I can assign them.
When I assign keywords I am assigning several of them at one time. The pupose for this is tha I am an artist. I take photographs to support my artistic work. So I might be doing a piece that I need a train, or a flower, or a person on a beach in Maine, or even a specific place that I have been. I can create a quick smart albumn and find all the images matching my needs and then filter them down from there. Very useful.
In another example, I was asked for a picture of my neice. I said what sort of picture. Once they gave me the specifics, that it was a picture of her at a birthday party, at an uncles house; I was then able to create a smartalbumn with all the necessary keywords and boom all those images oh my neice appear. We found the one the person needed and made a print.
My keywords are organized in groups. I have all the main ones: states, cities, people, family, extended family, objects, places, parks, museums, etc.
Inside each group I have several keywords that fit into those group buckets.
When I assign pictures keywords I select all the images that have those keywords, select multiple keywords using the command button, and then drag that group of keywords onto the selected images. Pretty easy stuff, but I have a lot of hours invested in placing keywords on my images.
Problems:
- moving a keyword and letting go, while it is still inside the keyword list, the keyword disappears and does not come back.
- Restarting aperture will show sometimes duplicate groups of keywords. Each group has a different count number of images for the keyword.
- Merging keywords does not appear to update the image count, or combine the image count.
- Occassionally when starting aperture all the keywords are gone
- Occassionally when starting the groups are there, but all the keywords are no longer inside the groups.
- Smart Albumns do not always find the images, but if you look at the image data, the keyword is right there on the screen. So a Smart album that looks for the Automobile keyword will show no images, but I can find several images that have this keyword on it.
- it does not appear that the images lose the keywords assigned. Aperture just does not see them, or does not organize the list properly.
- Some keywords will not show any image count, when I know there are several thousand images with that keyword.
- lifting and stamping keywords does not stamp the group it was in. Therefore, the next time you start aperture the keywords that were stamped appear in the keywords list outside of the groups. I think I stopped stamping keywords in Aperture 2. This has not worked right for as long as I have been using Aperture.
- keywords in group have a number of images containing that keyword. However, the group never shows a total for the group. Would be nice to have so that I can see how many pictures I have in these different groups. That could be really valuable for stock photographers as well. They could track how many photographs of objects, people, animals, autos, builds and more, that they have.
I have over 10,000 images in my library. Most images in my library have 3 or more keywords assigned to them.
Deleting a smart albumn and creating a new one will still not display any images.
All these smart albumns and keywords had bugs, but for the most part I had work arounds for those bugs and could still do things. Right now I am trying to organize a portrait of someone and I cannot perform any filtering to find the images of that person. So I have to go through hundreds of projects by hands to look through thousands of images to try and find it manually.
Has any one used Keywords or seen problems with it? Again, this all worked before 3.4.1 was installed. I got this recently as an update, but before that everything worked (smart albums). Now I cannot even get it to keep the list of keywords in order.

Kirby,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry. My post was sort of long. I wanted to be sure to give the full story so that people were not replying with things like "Did you restart your computer?" "Did you repair your database?".
Problems:
- moving a keyword and letting go, while it is still inside the keyword list, the keyword disappears and does not come back.
This sounds like you are accidentally dragging your Keywords to a different level/parent in your Keyword HUD. Is that possible? The proper way to cancel a drag-and-drop operation is to press "{Escape}".
I was very careful and while dragging made sure that the cursor and keywords where over their starting place. I was not aware of the Escape key press for canceling a drag-n-drop. I will have to remember that for next time.
- Restarting aperture will show sometimes duplicate groups of keywords. Each group has a different count number of images for the keyword.
Where are you seeing these groups? What do you mean by "group"? The same Keyword can exist at different levels of your Keyword hierarchy ("Black" is not the same as "Colors➞Black"; each can be separately assigned and will have a number independent of the other).
Sorry. Let me define my use of the word groups. I use the term group to define a top level keyword, or top of a branch. It will typically have an arrow next to it that can be clicked on to expand. A keyword is a term that I use for a label that is defined in the main list, or inside an expandable label (a group).
So, for example I could have a Family->Mom keyword twice in my list. One that says it has 42 images and the second that says it has 8. If I combine them I do not get 50. I get some other number, as if it was random. More importantly is that I don't have two different Family->Mom keywords. Why aperture started with a duplicate is beyond me.
It should. There is a bug where the numbers in the Keyword HUD are sometimes cropped at the right edge. Have you tried enlarging the Keyword HUD?
I noticed this problem as well and did not have it on my list. Hmm. Thanks. When the keywords hud does that I have been able to correct it, sometimes, by expanding the HUD horizontally and then slowly reducing the size and drag the numbers with it.
- Occassionally when starting aperture all the keywords are gone
Gone? And you have re-input them more than once? How do you know they are gone?
Gone, yes gone. I mean I open Aperture and either use the Shift-H, or icon on tool bar, for opening the keywords HUD and the entire list is empty. Nothing there. I have even tried searching in the search box at the top of the HUD and get no matches. The list is just empty.
When this happens I just quit aperture and shut down the computer. After restarting, sometimes, the list magically repopulates.
- Occassionally when starting the groups are there, but all the keywords are no longer inside the groups.
What groups? Do you mean Parents with children Keywords? How do you know the children are missing? Do they return?
Yes, I mean the Parent with children Keywords, or as I just added above a label (parent is better word) that can be expanded with keywords inside it. When I look at the list, For example, I have a Parent Keyword called Family. That group does not have an arrow and cannot be expanded. Furthermore, all the keywords that were at a lower level inside the Family group are now in the main list of keywords, or the highest level possible. If I want things to return to normal I have to restart the computer and aperture. Although that is not a garuntee to work everytime.
Again, I assume by "group" you mean the parent Keyword. Lifting a child Keyword and stamping it will apply that Keyword. Aperture does not assign the parent Keyword, but it does understand that the stamped Keyword is a child of the parent Keyword. If you filter using the Rule "Keyword" and check the parent Keyword, all Images with any of the children Keywords will be selected.
Yes, and thanks for providing me with the term Parent keyword. I will use that more in the future. I don't have any problem with how the image is stamped with the keywords. But if I have a keyword Family->Mom and I lift this and stamp another image. That image will have the keyword Mom. Aperture now updates the master keyword list inside the HUD and shows Mom at the highest level with everything else. I don't want that, because now I have to merge the Mom keyword back into the Family Parent. I don't doubt that Aperture knows what to do when searching, but the keyword HUD does not.
Thanks again for all the feedback. I do not have much exposure to other people using Aperture. I will do better at my terminology in the future. It is good to know that I am doing some things the same way everyone else does. I was thinking that maybe I was doing something more than everyone else. I wonder why no one else has said anything about the keywords issues. I would think that with so many peopel using them, there would be more complaints, or discussions.

Possible Keyword Bug

Okay,
I think I have found a possible bug with keywords, or maybe just an incositancy. It's kind of a messy situation so I'm hoping someone can help me out or maybe point me in the right direction to send this feedback to Apple.
I had a bunch of jpeg files from my older cameras that had already been tagged with keywords (in the IPTC keyword field I believe). Once I imported all of these into Aperture I stripped the keywords from all the images. That worked fine.
Before I get into the actual issue let me give a little bit of information on my Aperture library layout: I have folders created by year, then 1 project per month. So I have something like this:
2002
01 Janurary
02 Feburary
2003
01 Janurary
What's weird is if I create a new smart album at the folder level, the keywords listed in the search box are appropriate (only those actually added to images). However if I click on Library and create a new smart album (so that it searches the whole library) it lists all of my current keywords, plus all of those that I had removed (from the original files).
Anyone else run across this? Anyone know how to fix it? It's just a minor inconvience, but it does make it a bit of a pain to have a whole ton of keywords to select from in the search box (most of them no longer having any images associated with them).
Also I have searched for images that match the old keywords and it doesn't find any.
Thanks,
Mark

She suggests..
"Go to Window > Show Keywords HUD, and see if they are there. If so, you should be able to delete them from there."
Hopefully, they will then disappear from the Library list.
if not, it does seem like a bug.

Semicolon Keyword Bug

I just submitted this as a bug to Apple:
I have keywords set to have people's names listed last name first. So to keep Aperture from treating the last and the first name as separate keywords I format them as "Smith; Fred" instead of "Smith, Fred". This works most of the time, if "Smith; Fred" is not the first keyword to be added to an image.
I've discovered though that if "Smith; Fred" is the first keyword and I add a second. say "Friend", (it doesn't seem to matter what the second keyword is), Then "Smith; Fred" gets split up into two keywords. So in the metadata viewer it is listed as "Fred, Friend, Smith", but if I click on the Keyword tab below the Metadata Viewer, it is still listed as "Smith; Fred" and whatever hierarchy structure listed to the left.
When I try to remove all the keywords by pressing Shift 9, all the keywords in the Keyword tabs are removed including "Smith; Fred", but in the Metadata Viewer "Fred, Smith" remains. I have to either manually remove "Fred" and "Smith", or use the Batch Change function to clear the lingering keywords.
If I add "Friend" as a keyword before I add "Smith; Fred", then "Smith; Fred" stays intact, and I can continue to add keywords without "Smith" and "Fred" getting separated.
If I add "Smith; Sally" as the first keyword, then "Smith; Fred" as the second, I get "Sally, Smith, Smith; Fred" as the result in the keyword viewer, instead of what I should get "Smith; Fred, Smith; Sally"
I can only reproduce this when using commas or semicolons. So adding "Smith, Fred" or "Smith; Fred" gives you these results. I understand that because commas are the delimiter for keywords they should be avoided.
All of these combinations do not reproduce these results and can be used without "Smith" and "Fred" becoming separated:
Smith Fred
Smith: Fred
Smith. Fred
Fred Smith
I can use "Smith Fred" or "Fred Smith" in my keyword HUD and arrange them alphabetically by last name, but I find listing last name first separated by something other than a space (preferably a comma and failing that a semicolon) much easier and better suited for my purposes. I would appreciate a fix at least for the semicolon so that I don't have to be careful about the order that I add keywords in.

To easily remove a keyword from multiple photos at one time do the following;
1 - select the photos you want to work on.
2 - bring up the Keyword pane (type Commande+K)
3 - find the keyword you want to remove (it will be in blue) and click on it. When it turns grey the keyword will be removed from all of the selected photos. You can add keywords the same way.
See if this method will permanently remove the keyword(s) from the photo.
If that doesn't help make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If still not working launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.

More Aperture 3 bugs....Grrrr

The export to email options are totally messed up. You can select the size of the photo but aperture happily ignored that and uses it's previousm setting. You can see this by quiting aperture, going into preferences again and there is the old value. So for example, if I select medium JPEG it will still pass along a great big full size one across to mail, if that was the previous setting.
Now you can get it to remember the option but only if you edit the new size you have selected and pretend to change it and then save it. All fine and good you would think - a workaround. Well no, this leads to an even worse bug...
Try and add a new option. I tried JPEG and made it full size (by duplicating the existing one) and then moved the slider along to full quality. Well that results is a 12MB JPEG file - for a 12MP camera? ***?
I've never seen such a buggy application from Apple before. There is *no way* this application was properly tested. I'm getting a little tired of beta (or is that alpha?) testing this.

I can't agree with you more. I keep thinking it's me, but this is a horrible release:
1) Memory leaks like crazy.
2) Gratuitous pinwheel of death for no good reason.
3) Mouse scrollwheel support broken.
4) Your preset bug.

How can we tell when the Aperture+TM bug is fixed?

I'm wondering how I will know when Apple has fixed the time machine bug with Aperture, here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1228

Since this appears to be a core OS issue, watch for updates in that area. Most likely, watch for 10.5.3 being released. Nobody outside of Apple knows which this will be, though I speculate that it will be in the next few weeks. Rumour sites have been talking about changes which developers are seeing in their pre-release copies for a couple of months now. When it's released, the Mac-oriented part of the interweb will talk about little else for days. Watch for discussions which begin by listing what's addressed in the new release. In particular, keep an eye on the various Aperture forums/sites, as they should quickly identify changes which affect or relate to Aperture.
Also, Apple should also have at least one tech page which lists all the changes (at least, all the changes they're prepared to list).
Final thought - when any updates are released, keep an eye on the web page you've cited. It could well be updated to reflect any changes, but give them a few days....

Library Keyword Bug?

I am not sure if this is a bug, and if it is not, then I suppose this will be a feature request.
Background: I am using Lightroom 1.3.1 on a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz on OS X 10.5.1 with 4GB of RAM.
Expectation: When in the Library Module, I'd like to be able to select multiple files from the thumbnail bar at the bottom, type in applicable keywords and then save them to all of the ones selected regardless of whether my main screen is in fit mode or thumbnail mode.
Actual Experience: When the main screen is in fit mod and I save my keywords, they only save to the actual image being displayed in fit mode despite the fact that I have multiple images selected below in the thumbnail bar.
Thanks,
Stephen

Searching in this forum defaults, unfortunately, to the thread you've just been perusing. Just check the other box.
BTW, if we were to vote on it, I'd go with the way it's set up currently. But then, for whatever reason, I hardly ever use the strip. Much prefer grid for multiple ops, and for me, I need to check just how many are selected, anyhow!

Filter by keyword bug?

Has anyone else noticed this bug in iMovie '09...
After adding some keywords try to use the 'Filter by Keyword' feature, you'll notice that it's impossible to turn the topmost green light on. In other words it's impossible to 'only show clips that are tagged with whatever happens to be the first keyword in the list'.
You can only 'omit' the topmost keyword from view (red light).
Dave

I've noticed this as well - surely this can be sorted in a software update? What are your plans Apple?
