Bug with Lightroom 4? - Big problem in the keyword list!!

Hello guys,
I am Rafael Rojas, a nature and landscape photographer. This is my first post, trigered by a quite bothering problem I am having with my LR...So hello everybody!
I upgraded to LR 4 a week ago. Today I realized many of the keywords I have installed in Lightroom do not appear on the keyword list (basically all keywords after the letter S). Moreover, half of the keywords which appear on the list are not editable: that is, I cannot assign them to the selected image (by clicking on the left box), or I cannot double click them or right click them to get the Edit panel. All the rest of keywords (those which appear on the list on top), can be edited and there is no problem.
When I export the keywords as a .txt file (in metadata, export keywords) I can see that all the keywords are there. When I try to write some of them on the box LR recognize them and adds them automatically. However, I just cannot see them on my keyword list or just cannot edit them.
The reason I want to edit the keywords is because many of them got desactivated while upgrading (something more people have reported). Right now, I cannot send my images to my stock galleries, since many of my important keywords are not active, and I just cannot edit them...
Can you help me please?
thanks so much!!
rafael

Well, 64 bits.
And yes, it seems when I erase one keyword, the list "shows" one more below...so it seems the problem is related to a certain limit in number.
That would be still a problem I could live with, the big problem tough is that many of the keywords got "deactivated" alone by Lightroom (see problem here described http://www.backyardsilver.com/2012/02/strange-behavior-with-capitalized-keywords/) and that means I NEED to edit some keywords which are really important and which are not active. Otherwise, when I export the images those keywords are not embedded...
Any thoughts?
Rafa

Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Since the program crashed yesterday it won't launch, it comes up with the message "Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit". " Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches". Except that it doesn't, I keep getting the same message and the program closes. Does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Can't back up, can't do anything.

There are dozens of threads in this forum that describe the fix

Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with PSE 12 when purchased recognize the cameras listed in the question or do I need to download the camera Raw Version 8.3 ?

While the G9 RAW files can be read by Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom, these file are unsupported at this time. Here is a link to Adobe's latest list of cameras that are supported and this list came out yesterday http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
I have not done a comparison between Lightroom and Canon's software but others have and say that Canon's software is clearly better. I am sure when Adobe updates their software again to include the G9 it will be a very good RAW converter as it is will most other cameras.

Using Windows 7 and LR 5, when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword. Why does the Library Filter showing pictures that do not match the query

Dan,
Here's what's going on in the catalog you sent me, "Joel & Caitlin's Wedding". There is the keyword "gwenn", which is explicitly assigned to 7 pics. But keyword "schwartz" has a number of synonyms, including "gwenn", and it is assigned to 25 pics. There is no overlap between the two sets of pics.
I discovered these two occurrences by doing Metadata > Export Keywords, opening the exported file in an editor, and then searching for "gwenn". I found two occurrences of "gwenn":
gwenn
schwartz
{gwenn}
From this, you can see that the keyword "schwartz" has 9 synonyms, of which "gwenn" is one.
The filter criterion "Keywords Contain gwenn" will match the 7 pics that are explicitly assigned the keyword "gwenn", and it will also match the 25 pics assigned the keyword "schwartz", because that keyword has a synonym "gwenn".
This illustrates the behavior I mentioned above: The criterion "Keywords contains x" will match against any of a pic's assigned keywords, any of those keywords' ancestor keywords, and any of the synonyms of the assigned keywords and their ancestors.
So LR is operating correctly here, if not in a way that's easy to understand.
It appears that you are using the synonyms of "schwartz" to represent individual members of the Schwartz family. A better way of representing family relationships is to have a parent keyword "Schwartz", with subkeywords for each family member, e.g. "Gwenn Schwartz", "Joe Schwartz", "Jane Schwartz", etc. Repeating the family name in the subkeywords has a couple of advantages. LR usually only displays the "leaf" name of a keyword, so instead of showing you just "Joe", it will show you "Joe Schwartz", helpful when there are a number of different people whose first name is "Joe". Also, if you ever export your pics to other software, it may not understand the LR hierarchy and won't show the parent keywords, so again it's more informative to see a keyword named "Joe Schwartz" rather than "Joe".

I am running Lightroom 2.7. If I download cloud version of Lightroom how do I get the keywords I have in LR2.7 to work in the new version?

In theory, Lightroom 5 will recognize your existing LR 2.7 catalog and upgrade it to LR 5 for you to use. All you have to do is click OK or Yes or whatever when it asks you if you want to upgrade your catalog.
If it doesn't find your LR 2.7 catalog, then in LR 5 use File->Open and point it to your LR 2.7 catalog

How Can I Improve the Readability of the Keyword List?

I've often wondered if you guys actually test this stuff in real-world conditions.
This white-on-gray and gray-on-gray (!) micro small font stuff may be the cool du jour UI look and work great for you bloodshot-eyed youngsters beavering away 24/7 in the bowels of Adobe Developer Central on your supermax workstation screens, but for us bifocal challenged 50+y/o codgers on deadline working in the field on ruggedized laptops in sunlit conditions, this is not a very time inefficient UI.
The Keyword List is particular painful to use since there are no keyboard shortcuts and we're forced to click on these microscopically small squares and read the keywords in what must be a 2pt font.
Other than stretching the left-panel container max left (which isn't very far), Is there ANY WAY to make the Keyword List more readable?

Excelent question.
I have been searching around, and it looks like a lot of users is asking this question.
Where can I make Siri learn my accent ? Some users was talking about a feature where you could correct Siri so it would learn, but I have not been able to find it.
Nor have I, but it does seem to get better as I go along, so maybe it learns.

LR4 Automating additions to the Keyword List

Is there any way to automate/batch the creation of words for the Keyword List?
My photos are stored on a hard disk in more than 2000 named folders. Each folder name is a keyword for the images within. I would like to create a Keyword List of the names of each folder. Since all the names are in digital form, is there any way to automate/batch the creation of words for the Keyword List?
Chuck

I guess this is a job for a plugin.
John Beardsworth's
Search-Transfer-Replace<http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/jbeardsworth/findreplace/>
plugin
can copy metadata between fields (in your case, you need Folder name -> *
keywords*). Not sure if it can do exactly that. John?

This time I think I understand him:
Mainboard: MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp-Edition (MS-7246 v.2.1)
He wants to know if the incompatibility issue between JMicron and the Intel RAID controller that appeared with the 7.2x BIOS-Versions has been resolved in the latest official BIOS (7.5). The JMicron controller has to be completely disabled in order to use Intel RAID. One IDE and one SATA port are rendered useless due to this BIOS bug.
HOW??! How you can read his mind??!?

Figured out a Bug with Lightroom 2

Now just how to get it to Adobe so they can fix it.
Okay, I used to have a problem with the first version of 2.0 where I would assign color labels to pictures that would be B&W, special tweaks, etc. When I would edit in photoshop, then save back to lightroom, they would not retain the color label. This has been fixed in 2.1. Today while editing, I would be going back in forth all day long and all of a sudden it happened. My edited file was not in my color category. Finally after about 5-6 times, I realized what I was doing. When in photoshop, I would run certain actions for certain color effects. If I did not like the particular action, I would hit F12 to revert back to the original. After finding the effect I wanted, I would save back to lightroom. I guess for whatever reason, when you hit revert in Photoshop, it strips the color label info. Seems kinda weird. Anyone have any thought on this?
Thanks,
Toby

Hi Jazzey ,
were you able to get your data . I apparently have a similar problem a really need the data in my computer . Let me know how things went with you and whether you were able to solve the problem. That would be a great help to me as I am clueless of how to proceed. Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help with a Flash Player problem on the Weight Watchers site?

I'm having problems with the Weight Watchers web site. I've tried loading it with IE9, IE8, Chrome and Firefox. There's a specific area of the site (Pro Points Calculator) which continually flashes. I can't stop it and I can't access the icons underneath it. Also the Plan Manager, which contains several other tools, will not load. I've contacted WW who say their site set up "is not unique but it is rare which is why other websites will work while ours may seem not to. Please contact your web browser trouble shooting team". I've loaded the latest version of Flash Player (11), tried compatability view, cleared the cache, enabled cookies etc. all to no avail. I've even spent almost an hour on the phone with the Techguys who say it is a compatability problem between the web browsers and flashplayer. I'm stuck!! Not a techhie and don't know where to turn to for help. Anyone out there offer any ideas? (PS - am a newbie to these forums too). Cheers. Happy2golf

Do I assume correctly that the web site / page that is troubling you is not accessible to the public? In that case all we can do is guess.
What is your installed Flash Player version? See http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main_Find_the_Flash_ Player_version_installed_on_your_machine

HT201210 What do I do when i'm prompted with "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "....". You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.

I'm trying to sync my iPhone 4s to my Mac iTunes. My whole libary: music, movies, etc is only 26 gb but when I press the sync button I am prompted that I do not have enough space I need an extre 22 gb. So I thought if I were to restore it, it would help, but yet I am prompted with this message. I am just running into one wall after another and I need some help.

Lightroom does not show on the download list, why?

I have just jointed CC and DL'd PS, but LR does not show up on the DL list of programs....? what's up with this?

If you have a perpetual Licensed version of LR 5 installed or a trial version you need to uninstall it. With a normal uninstall your user files, presets, catalog will remain in place.
Shutdown your system and reboot, then open the CC application manager and Lightroom cc should be available for download.
Both versions of Lightroom are identical only the licensing process is different.

With respect to diginotar, why is the revocation list empty, although I have the update (version 6.02)

I was wondering should I not see something in the Revocation List window? Why is this completely empty?
I have updated Firefox from 6.01 to 6.02 and the list is still empty.
Am I missing something?
