Color labels label nothing

I set color labels on clips in the bin view, but there are no colors showing whatosever.
This is "carribean". So how do I mark something to know what I have marked?
Also, why is the audio link missing here?  The audio is NOT missing.  OK the link
reappears when I LEAVE the source box.
Thanks anyone !

  • Problems importing photos with a color label.

    Hello:
    I'm trying to import photos and assign a color label at the same time. My idea is to know what pics are just imported and put they into "status 0" of my workflow, that is, the pic is just imported and need to be accepted/rejected, then be classified, then made basic corrections, etc, etc. I'm going to change color labels to go from red to green status... a tipical workflow.
    OK, this is what I did:
    Import pics:
    * I select the directory and create/assign a new metadata preset.
    * In this metadata preset I set author/creator and some other IPTC fields.
    * Also I put the word "red" in Label field.
    * Do the import...
    What I can see then:
    The photos are imported and the red label is visible. You can see the red label in the grid view (at every photo's bottom) and also, at the bottom toolbar, you can see that the red label is checked. If you click at the small label at the photo's bottom you can see the small menu with the red label checked.
    OK, it seems that the color label is imported but...
    In the filmstring, if you filter to see only the red labeled pics... nothing is selected !! You have to unassign and assign again the red label and this time you can filter by color label.
    What is happening ? Does Lightroom read the color label from two different fields from the metadata ? Is something not synched during the import process ?
    Regards,
    Javier.

    Sorry if I couldn't explain correctly. English is not my main language...
    I know you can assign names to the existing colors label and create different sets. I just create my own set.
    What I'm refering to is to the Label field that is part of the basic IPTC data into a metadata preset. I'm not sure if it's the same field that is used to assign color labels.
    What I did was to create a metadata preset, assign the word "red" as the value of the IPTC Label field and then apply this preset into an import. All the pics were imported with the red label set, so yes, it is possible to do the import and set the color label. The problem is that you can't use the filters that are into the filmstring view. So there is some mismatch here: the red color is shown at the bottom of the pics imported, but the filmstring filters can't "see" that the pics have this color label assigned.

  • Finder does not show all colors from selected color Labels

    Since a view days finder does not show all Color Label colors. When I select either yellow or green it is selected, but it does not show in the file list with details, I can see it in icon and 3 pane view, but not in the detail list view.
    does anybody know why or how? Or what plist files I might need to delete to get this reset?

    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your labels work in that User acct in list view? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

  • Automator: Apply Color Label and Copy to Folder

    I'm trying my hand at Automator, and I need help with one of my workflows (⇪). Basically, it's a service (accessible via right-click) that will apply a color label on an image file, and then copy that image file to a corresponding folder with the same color label. My current version works fine, except for the fact that I had to create seven versions to accommodate all seven colors.
    Is there any way to turn the color into a variable? I want the workflow to prompt me for a color, and then use that choice to run a search for the appropriate folder. I'd rather not hard code the color choice into separate services that all do the same thing.
    Also, the service currently assumes that it will run fast enough before I can deselect the target file. I'm sure it's possible that the folder search could lag out while I select another file, and the service will ultimately copy the newly selected item, rather than the initial target. Is there a way to ensure the service acts on whatever was selected when it was first triggered?
    I don't know AppleScript beyond copying-and-pasting other people's codes, so that limits my automation quite a bit. I don't know how to prompt for a label index choice and then feed the result into a find function. I also don't know how to record the file path of the selected item, and then feed that into the copy function at the end to ensure it doesn't copy the wrong file.

    Typically a list of items is passed to a workflow, so you will usually (depending on what you are doing with the items) need to step through the items in that list. If there is only one destination folder with the target label, you can just search for it, otherwise you will need to specify the destination in some other way.
    The following Service workflow example assumes that there is only one destination folder that has a given label color. It gets the label index of one of the input items and finds a folder with the same index at a specified base location (to limit the search range).
    1) Input items are automatically passed to an application or service, otherwise another action to get FInder Items can be used
    2) *Label Finder Items* (show the action when the workflow runs)
    3) *Run AppleScript* (paste the following script)
    <pre style="

  • Color labels: I never see 'em; not color blind too

    I set color labels for clips, and there is no indication whatsoever on the clip thumbs or in the source panel or anywhere.
    I see nothing you could call a label or color label.  Presumable the labels are for easy locating? 

    Thanks you.
    While we are at it, what is the philosophy here please?
    I would put as much on "SCRATCH" as possible, but
    never anything I would want later.  "Captured video"
    has me puzzled cuz the video is "captured" to a location
    long before Premiere gets involved and I dont want to
    change said location.  "Previews" seems ok obvious.
    I'll keep my auto saves where I can find them till it's
    time to dump them.

  • Finder won't color label files

    I am working through a directory of files and color labeling them using finder. Some files won't take the color labels. It has nothing to do with the file format or any other permissions conflicts.

    there must be some difference.  which files are they?

  • Loss of color labels and other assorted bad things...

    My G5 seems to be acting a little weird lately- nothing I can pin down but lots of little things.
    • Beachballs spinning at odd times and places.
    • If I have assigned a color label to a TextEdit document, all of a sudden resaving the document causes the color label to reset to "no color". This seems to be a new trick, and I'll bet nothing good will come of that.
    • When opening some (but not all) graphic files with GraphicConverter, all of a sudden a "ghost image" of the picture paints itself on my right screen (of a two-screen setup). The actual GraphicConverter window itself is located on the left screen real estate, which is where I want it, but this "ghost image", without any framing, appears right in the middle of the right screen just after the normal GraphicConverter window opens on the left screen. Suspiciously, the size of the "ghost image" seems to be the same size as the actual legitimate image showing in the GraphicConverter window. I have my screen set to change the background picture every minute or so, and when it repaints the "ghost image" disappears. Moving any other window over the "ghost image" also erases it (like using a blackboard eraser).
    Just to make this REALLY challenging, this problem seems to be inconsistent, as it does not do this every time. If there is a pattern here, I'm missing it.
    So far (I think, but can't be sure) all of the graphics which fall victim to this phenomena have been scans by my Cannon scanner. Have had this scanner for a long time with no previous problems. If I open the same files which cause GraphicConverter to misbehave with other graphics-handling apps, there doesn't seem to be any problem with the other apps.
    Some general background info:
    • Have reinstalled the GraphicConverter app, and discarded it's preference files, but no help.
    • Have also reinstalled the Cannon driver app, and discarded it's preference files, but again no help.
    • If I boot the computer from a different (backup) external HD the same situation seems to exist. However, since I backup pretty often (using SuperDuper), if there is some sort of OS issue which has been building up it may be possible that the backup HD now simply has the same problem as the main internal HD.
    • I did rebuild my directories with DiscWarrior a few weeks ago, for what that's worth. Have done that in the past with no problems occurring.
    • The main internal HD is a fast 10000 rpm, and is partitioned into two sections: one section holds all of the OSX-10.4.10 and related operating files (apps, utilities, libraries and associated hooga-booga), with about 9.2gb still open. The other partition holds everything else, also with about 9.2gb still open. Three separate external HDs hold pretty much nothing but music files for iTunes.
    All ideas will be appreciated!

    Have just noticed activity monitor is indicating very unusual activity in something called "TruBlueEnvironment", whatever that is. It is currently accounting for over 95% of CPU activity, and these spikes may be the cause of the beachballs appearing at rather odd times.

  • Bug in Aperture's Color labels?

    When I select an image and use the main menu to change the color label to nothing, viewing in the list view shows the label as "--" (without the quotes). When I use the sidebar to perform the same operation, the list view shows the label to be "No Label" (with the quotes). This seems inconsistent. Is this a bug?

    Yes, its been around since at least version 3.  While it doesn't cause a lot of problems in Aperture itself if you try to use Applescript to script the labels it causes all sorts of problems.
    I reported it numerous times, keep hoping that one day it will be fixed. You can send feedback to Apple reporting this, see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

  • Color labels problem, in french version

    In english :
    Hello
    I was testing with the beta and lightroom beta 2 version 3. Satisfied, I bought french version 3 today. Unfortunately I have a small problem:
    color labels have not been recognized during the transition to the french commercial version 3. The reason seems to be related to a translation problem. Example: color purple ("pourpre" in french) appears not with the same color, but with the text, instead of the icon, "purpule". Same for the other colors.
    How to get my color labels?
    Thank you.
    In french :
    Bonjour,
    je testais lightroom avec la beta et beta 2 de la version 3. Satisfait, j'ai acheté la version 3 française ce jour. Malheureusement j'ai un petit problème :
    les libellés de couleurs n'ont pas été reconnus lors du passage à la version 3 commerciale française. La raison semble être liée à un problème de traduction. Exemple : la couleur pourpre apparait non pas avec la couleur correspondante, mais avec le texte, en lieu et place de l'icône, "purpule". Même chose pour les autres couleurs.
    Comment récupérer mes libellés de couleurs ?
    Merci.

    Snoopy,
    I think your assumption is correct, your problem is due to the different wordings in the labels (I presume you were running LR3 Beta2 in English).
    LR did wirte the word "Purple" into the label column of your catalog, when you marked an image as purple. Now, with the french wording, LR interprets the word "Pourpre" in the label column as purple, and nothing else. You can see these associations in the Library Module, Metadata menu / Color label set / Edit.
    To solve your problem, I would do the following for each of the color labels:
    Activate the Metadata Filter, with the column "label" showing
    filter on a specific label term (e.g. "Purple")
    Select all filtered photos
    Mark them as "Pourpre"
    This will reassign the current (French) terms to your photos.

  • Count page's with color label

    Dear people,
    Is it possible that InDesign can count the pages with a color label? (CS5)
    So a window appears with the message.
    10 yellow
    20 red
    etc. etc.
    I' was searching arround the forum and cannot find anything with colorlabels.
    Thanks for anyone who want to help!
    Greetings from Holland

    Good one, Marijan! I was thinking of an associative array as well, but I could not have written it as concise as you did.
    For the inevitably flabbergasted lurkers:
    a. You can use arrays like this: element[0], element[1], .. element[n], which is the regular way of addressing individual elements, but you can also address them associative: element['value'], element['name'], element['whatever']. You can use whatever you like as the index. This way, you don't have to remember '0 is for yellow, 1 is for red, 2 is for blue' -- you simply use element['yellow'], element['red'] and element['blue']. The associativity has nothing to do with the actual contents of each array element.
    b. So Marijan uses 'pageColor' to store the counter for each page color -- if you encounter a page with a color label 'red', he adds 1 to pC['red'].
    c. Problem is, you cannot add 1 to something that does not exist. If you encounter a page color 'purple' for the first time, you cannot say
    pC['purple'] = pC['purple']+1;
    (or a shorthand equivalent of the same) because it doesn't exist yet!
    d. A non-existing array element is equal to null -- "nothing". (This is not the same as '0' (zero).) Now while you can check for
    if (pC['purple'] == null) ..
    you can also use the logical operator ! (not), which tests for equal-to-zero (and in this case, null is treated as if it is 0 -- that actually makes sense because it's certainly not not zero). The line
    !(object)
    will result in true if object equals null, false otherwise -- !x tests for zero, so if x is zero, the result is true. Capice?
    e. By way of encore Marijan packs the entire test-if-exist/create-new/add-one into a single line. The notation
    a ? b : c;
    works like this: if (a) is true then do (b) else do (c). So if 'new color' is null -- it doesn't exist -- then add a new associated element (and set its counter value to '1', by the way), else add '1' to the value it already had.

  • Random Window Closing When Using Color Labels

    Any help appreciated.
    When using color labels, every 2nd or 3rd time I set a color, the finder window I'm working in closes by itself. When I reopen a new window, it puts you back at the top level, and I have to re-drill down to where I was. This happens whether or not any apps are open.
    Using OS 10.4.8, pretty sure it's the latest version. I have almost no software on this machine - it's a dedicated music computer. I use labels extensively, and this never happened on my old G5 or Powerbook (both with 10.4.8). So far I'm attributing it to the Mac Pro.

  • Close all folders in Mail?  Color Label folders?  Find folder?  And More!

    Hi all.
    I have a LOT of mail. They're all very organized, though. Heaps of Mailboxes (Folders) and Sub-folders.
    I also have heaps of rules dutifully sending incoming mail to their appropriate mailboxes.
    However...
    It has reached a point where one of of the major bottlenecks in my daily workflow is sorting through all these mailboxes.
    There are 5 primary mailboxes with perhaps 100-ish subfolders or sub-subfolders. Maybe more.
    When they are all open, or a lot of them are open, it is difficult to find the a specific folder when I need it. It would help if I could close all open folder with a shortcut.
    Is this possible?
    It would also help if I could visually distinguish each level. Can I color label the mailboxes(not the messages themselves)?
    Another help would be if I could run a search for a folder Mailbox name. Is this possible?
    Lastly when I create a rule I would love it if there was an option to 'Create new Mailbox' in the rule dialog box rather than having to create the mailbox first. Am I just missing this? See link for illustration:
    http://img.skitch.com/20080820-eaqmy89emw6xm5pcj86iuqu992.jpg

    I just had a look and you need to create the mailbox PRIOR to asking the rules to move it into that.
    Now, automator lets you create a new workflow, but not sure as to how to set that one up (might be possible; however, my mathematical brain tells what you want to achieve is flawed:
    1) IF new mail equals "tangerine", create new mailbox tangerine, then move message to mailbox "tangerine. (FINE so far!)
    2) the second "tangerine" message arrives, and the workflow should FAIL (because it cannot create a "new" mailbox "tangerine", as there is ALREADY a mailbox named "tangerine")
    3) if automator cannot execute "If" and "and" and the "sort by" all together, then distinguish (a "tangerine" message might actually need to go to "pear" but refers to "pears and tangerines", so it ends up in the wrong mailbox), you may have to start and restart mail, until all stages of the script have been executed.
    You see the problems?
    Anyhow, here is a link to some automator info:

  • Can not color label more than one file at a time

    Hi,
    I've had this problem since 10.6.6-ish, i can not color label more than one file at a time in the Finder.
    Wether i select two, twenty or twohundred only one file gets color labeled.
    It doesn't seem to matter if i assign a color label through the File menu or right click > label.
    Figured a re-install might fix this but it hasn't (even a clean install without restoring any kind of backup).
    Does anyone else have this issue and/or a fix for it?
    Thanks,

  • How do I find images in LR 2.4 (imported from CS4 Bridge) that have color labels already assigned In CS4 Bridge? I have set both Bridge and LR color labels text to match (eg Green for green, etc).

    How do you find images in LR 2.4 that have been imported from CS4 Bridge and have been assigned a color label in Bridge?  I have set both LR 2.4 and my CS4 Bridge to match the text for each color to be the same (eg. Green for green, etc), and the filter search in LR 2.4 shows that a label has been assigned, but I am unable to identify and locate the specific images in LR 2.4 that have had a color label assigned from CS4 Bridge.  I have tried to search via attribute, metadata, text, etc...Is it necessary to re-assign color labels all over again, image by image, in LR 2.4, or is there a way to automatically have the color labels assigned in CS4 Bridge be assigned and searchable to the images after they have been imported into the LR 2.4 catalogue from the Bridge program?

    JohnM.
    I closed both programs and re-imported photos and re-tried the action of having LR  read the XMP metadata from the CS4 files, and it seems to work now just fine...don't know why now and not before, but thanks much. Is there a way to have LR do this automatically upon import of images from CS4?  I tried to do this with an import metadata preset, but no luck.  It seems as if I can only do this once the images have already been imported into LR, and then to have to have LR read the metadata from the CS4 Bridge files.  thanks gain.
