Bridge cs6 - different sets of keywords based on folder selected?

In Bridge CS6 I would like the selection of available keywords in the keywords panel, to change based upon the folder selected in the folders panel.
For example, in my hobby of woodworking I plan to have a multitude of keywords in a folder structure that would describe everything from the wood used to the joinery used; in the computer consulting business I will have a folder structure to describe various projects.
I realize that I can twirl folder branches open, but I would like to not have the woodworking options available for the consulting disk folders and the consulting keyword options be available within the woodworking disk folders.
Is this possible?
If not, is it possible to have which keywords twilled open based upon the folder or favorite I have selected?
Thanks in Advance
I am a beginner with Photoshop and am trying to teach myself how to use the software. Please be patient with me.

Keywords ar global. Anything else would defeat the purpose of searchable catalogs. At best you could define different custom categories and data fields in your XMP settings and use that, but even then they wont contextually appear or hide.

Bridge cs6 flickr uploader and keywords

Hi
can bridge cs6 upload to flickr and use the keywords associated to a photo to convert to flickr tags?
thanks

It had once such an option in the export panel (discontinued per CC) but that did not work also.
It would be more easy if you created an action for resizing the files to the correct wanted format in PS or use the Image processor (both easy to set to work using menu tools / PS/ Batch or image processor on the selected files and use a dedicate folder for the saved files. At least that would be my route to follow.

Trying to set attribute value based on user selection of another attribute

I am trying to set an attribute value based on the user's selection of another attribute using JSP EditCurrentRecord. When the user chooses the AreaId from the combo box I want to look up the value of the RgnID, preferrably without the user seeing this field at all. Below is my code which does not work. When I run it I get Error Message: null. Any suggestions are appreciated!!
<jsp:useBean id="RowEditor" class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.EditCurrentRecord" scope="request">
<%
RowEditor.initialize(pageContext, "MyProject2_package1_SRSecurityModule.UsrAreaWhView");
RowEditor.setTargetUrl("UsrAreaWhView_SubmitInsertForm.jsp");
RowEditor.createNewRow();
RowEditor.setDisplayAttributes("OracleId, RgnId, RegionKey, AreaId");
RowEditor.useEditField("OracleId");
RowEditor.getFieldRenderer("OracleId").setPromptText("Oracle ID");
RowEditor.useEditField("AreaId");
RowEditor.useComboBox("AreaId","AreaWhView","Area","AreaKey");
RowEditor.getFieldRenderer("AreaId").setPromptText("Area");
RowEditor.useEditField("RgnId");
RowEditor.getFieldRenderer("RgnId").setPromptText("Region");
RowEditor.getRowSet().getViewObject().getCurrentRow().setAttribute("RgnId",RowEditor.getRowSet().getViewObject().getCurrentRow().getAttribute("RegionKey"));
RowEditor.setReleaseApplicationResources(true);
RowEditor.render();
%>
</jsp:useBean>

ok, sorry everyone for making it confusing; this is what I am
trying to acheieve;
I would like the user to populate my database with thier
username AND userID. I have a dropdown box with thier username
dynamicly populated already, what I am trying to achieve, is a way
of when the user selects thier username either another dropdown or
a hidden field is automatically populated with the appropiate
userID (to match thier username). Now I could just have two
dropdowns and they select both, but i'd rather avoid the
possibility of mismatches, and that is why I would like it to be
automatic and based on thier username selection...
Does that make sense....?

Setting column values based on LOV selection

Hi All,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0. I have a table eg: Department table, in Dept Id, I have defined LOV for that field. My requirement is, based on the LOV selection, I want to set the other column values. I am using InputTextwithLOV in list type. How to achieve this?
I tried mentioning that in the List return values. But it is not setting the values.
Regards,
Infy

Hi,
if you use a model driven LOV then when configuring the LOV you can map additional attributes. When you build a model driven LOV you at least once tell it which LOV attribute should be used to update the DeptId field. You can do the same for additional attributes

Dynamically set a value based on value selected from LOV

Apex 4.2
I'm having trouble creating a dynamic action to set a value. I've used dynamic actions to hide and show regions but for some reason cannot set a value.
I have a select list --> P101_LIST. Source Type is 'Database Column'. Source value or expression is 'person_id' The query is as follows:
Select first_name, person_id
From Persons
I have a display value --> P101_DISPLAY. Source Type is 'Static Assignment'. Source value or expression I left blank.
I would like for every time the user selects a name from P101_LIST, the P101_DISPLAY item gets updated to show the corresponding value(person_id).
Because there are other page items / information on the page, I would prefer this to not submit / update the page. Wouldn't want other page items / information getting updated.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Create a DA:
- event onChange P101_LIST
- Action: PL/SQL
- PL/SQL code:
:P101_DISPLAY := :P101_LIST;
Items to submit: P101_LIST
Item to return: P101_DISPLAY
And done.

How to Replace All the Bridge CS6 Stock Keywords With Bridge CS5 Keywords

I have CS6 working in a different computer than the one that houses CS5. Bridge CS6 can read CS5 keywords when it opens an "old" photo but it has none of its own (besides the stock ones that came with the program). How can I replace all the stock CS6 keywords with the keywords from CS5?

Have you tried the Import/Export options from the tiny menu at the top-right of the Keywords panel?

Continuing Bridge Cs6 problems

Have been close to a month now and no Bridge? Have uninstalled CS6 again. How can you do a Beta with half the program. Since the Bridge anomally seems to be happening in Windows and Mac, it would seem someone could figure this out.
To recap once more:
OS Mac 10.7.3, PS CS5 is not running, download of CS6 OK, PS CS6 opens OK, Bridge CS6 opens existing Bridge CS5. This is usable with PS CS6 by toggling back and forth But it is Bridge CS5. Under Bridge file associations the opening process does change the CS5 Bridge files to CS6 However a reset and open still generates a Apple crash report to Apple. No report is generated to Adobe?? Then a retry opening Bridge CS6 again sets the CS5 files to 6 but opens Bridge CS5. This is true whether the launch is out of Applications,PS, or Mini Bridge.
So - I would hope this is resolved before the final version comes out?? Will there be a good discount for half a program?

As a follow up on my email to you - all is still working well with the following exceptions: Crop in PS doesn't work. Crop in ACR does work. Crop in PS show the crop but does not actually implement it. The PS view mode shows the new dimensions but the Image size information window still shows the uncropped actual dimensions, as does the bottom tab for file size etc. Any thoughts on this? Also on "Save As" - CS5 when saving out of PS switches to Bridge automatically. CS6 "Save As" moves the file behind the scene but keeps the visual in PS then when a delete is done you end up looking at a blank page and having to toggle over to Bridge for the next file. Additionally mini Bridge isn't allowing for subfolders to show for access. i.e. have a import folder for new pictures under the hard drive main Pictures folder. Picture shows up but not any subfolders underneath??

Bridge CS6 - AVCHD metadata & keywords

Recently made the transition to AVCHD video & CS6.
On my media drive, I have a footage folder where I dump the contents of my memory cards. I copy over the entire AVCHD file/folder structure.
I'd like to organize this footage in Bridge CS6 by editing metadata and applying keywords. However, I'm unable to do either. When trying to edit metadata, I get a "This property cannot be modified" error. When trying to apply a keyword, I get a "The file xxx.MTS cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur" error.
There has to be a way to do this...am I overlooking anything? Or is Bridge unable to do this?

Any other ideas?
I'm afraid it is not possible because AVCHD doesn't seem to be supported in Bridge. Their are many file formats used in the world, some very easy to add to the support list but some very difficult or even impossible due to different reasons. Placing a Feature Request for supporting file formats you are missing should be the first thing to do.
Here are the Google search criteria I used:
"avchd .mts adobe bridge"
And there are a lot of posts about it.
check this one also:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/778555
Maybe a solution would be converting them to an other format?

Back-ups Bridge CS6 - Collections, keywords etc.

Hi guys
In order to completely backup the Bridge database with the entire structure and the keywords linked to each picture (so that Picture XYZ has all of the same settings/keywords/metadata) after for instance completely reinstalling the MacBook (clean install), is it sufficient to just drag and drop the /library/Application_Support/Adobe/Bridge CS6/Collections and Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml?
What are the best ways to safely take care of all of the information in Bridge to avoid wasting time reinstalling things after buying a new mac or clean installing it, having had a crash or... ?
Thanks!
Bob

What are the best ways to safely take care of all of the information in Bridge to avoid wasting time reinstalling things after buying a new mac or clean installing it, having had a crash or... ?
Like Curt already stated, exporting the existing keyword list and import again in new set up is the safest way to go and you also have a back up of your existing keyword list.
Keywords and IPTC / XMP data are usually written to the file itself, Raw files use a separate XMP file with the info. I don't use the original raw files anymore but convert them to DNG. This has the great advantage to have written both settings and xmp data like IPTC to the file itself. Otherwise a separate xmp side car file with the same name as the original will be saved in the folder where the originals are stored.
For the rest it is depending on what you are planning. If it is a new Mac with same CS version you can safely copy collections but personally I prefer to have a clean start after upgrading to new Mac or new system version. It seems a bit more work in the first run (and in fact it is a bit more work) but this means everything fresh and not with a lot of older and hidden preferences and settings files that can clutter your new workflow with old flaws and faults, meaning it is a little time investment to have a lot of pleasure in the future :-0
If you want to save your collections try thinking about keywords for them but to be honest, collections have proofed in the past to being not always very stable so if you depend on this for archive purposes you better start thinking about a good key wording and folder structure for this in combination with a proper naming convention (like yyyymmdd-etc. ) so you have multiple options to restore a collection if things go wrong.
Especially upgrading to new CS needs to recache the files again because the cache format has changed every time with a new version. This sounds terrible but in fact it is not all that much work to recache the lot when you use the main folder and the option to show items from subfolders and let it run overnight.
But in all cases it is very wise to have a back up of all pref and other settings from your old system. Personally I always do make a copy of the old user library and store it away in case I have forgotten something. But the Adobe folder in the user library / application support indeed has the most of the settings in it.

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

Images not showing up in keyword searches in Bridge CS6

Using Bridge CS6, I'm dropping in stock photos (JPEG) and tagging them with persistent keywords. When it comes time to do a search, a couple of these images are being skipped in the results. Other images with the same keywords are being returned, but not these few offenders.
I've tried resetting Bridge and purging the central Cache.
Any idea why some files would be invisible to the find function?

I've performed the search using both the search field in the top right corner, and using the Find command.
I'm searching the proper source folder, searching for "Keywords" "Containing" <search term>
Matching "any criteria", searching all subfolders and including non-indexed files.
The problem is, if I have 3 files with a keyword of Cathedral or cathedral — delimited by semicolons — a search for "cathedral" in the above manner will return 2 of those files, but not the third.
It looks like I have some problem files that appear in the regular Bridge browser window and have viewable, persistent keywords, but won't appear in search results. They open fine, and the keyword metadata is visible in Photoshop. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.
If it helps, it's an iStock image: iStock_000025903682Small

How to copy keywords from one image to many in Bridge CS6 (workaround)

I see a few questions about how to do this, but I didn't see this workaround (maybe it's even the workflow Adobe had in mind). Hope it helps others searching for this.
To copy keywords from one photo, and then apply the same keywords to many, in Bridge CS6:
Select one image that has the keywords you want to copy.
Right-click and choose File Info...
On the IPTC tab, scroll down to find the Keywords field. Select and copy the keywords you want (probably all).
Click Cancel to exit without making accidental changes.
Select the files you want to add the keywords to.
Right-click and choose File Info...
On the IPTC tab, scroll down to find the Keywords field.
Click in it and paste your copied keywords.
Click OK. Keywords are applied to all files. (NOTE: I think this replaces keywords, rather than adding to them).
I'm using CS6 on OS X 10.6.8.

Sara,
Why wouldn't you just use a Windows .bat file with xcopy statements? You could even schedule it to run with the Windows task scheduler.

Jeremy Good

How to import keywords into Bridge CS6?

I have hundreds of keywords I've included in Templates and I want to add the keywords to the Kaywords panel in cs6 bridge. How can I import them so they appear as individual keywords which I can then categorize into groups and subgroups? Thanks from Kodiak, Alaska.

Hi Marion,
Have you seen this help document? It goes over the basics of Bridge keyword support.

And here's quick post that walks thru importing steps (I think it's still relevant to Bridge CS6).
