Enhancement idea: checkbox setting for how to import keywords.

I just duplicated a bunch keywords upon importing a month worth of photos from a remote project.   I assume this is because LR has no idea how to handle them other than importing them in a flattened state.  I suggest a checkbox that tells LR whether or not to look for an existing keyword of the same spelling in its structures before creating another one.  If it then finds multiples, it would be easy enough for it to figure out the correct keyword based on context.
I have many nested keywords and have found the nesting to be pretty much useless in the real world, but it is a great organizational tool.   It allows about the same grouping functionality as collections but without the messy accumulation of collection names that were only used once.

Have you tried duplicating your "home" keyword list in your "field" catalog?  I do quite a lot of this sort of thing and it helps me avoid duplicating keywords when I import from my "field" catalog into my "home" catalog.  For example, when I add the keyword "Cades Cove" to an image in my field catalog, it goes in the hierarchical keyword "Places/National Parks/Smoky Mtn NP/Cades Cove" in my field catalog and, when I import from the field catalog into my home catalog, it shows up in my home catalog properly.
No, but you just gave me another similar idea:  Instead completely wiping the portable drive after each trip (after importing the images and history steps to the desktop), I will keep the same catalog after using it to clear the old images from the drive.  I'm pretty sure the keywords will then be around for the next trip, along with the other things I had to copy over, like the user presets and profiles.
Thanks!

  • Filter Qualified Link Checkbox set for tuples, But syndicated all Recs

    Hello MDM Gurus,
    With Reference to the answer below.. we have tuples and we are doing the same, but still we are getting all three links in the syndicated file.
    I have tested this using flat syndication file.
    Original Thread
    Hello all!
    Here is an issue we are working on. We would like to syndicate entries from a qualified lookup table for a particular customer, but only those where a certain qualifier has a specific value. For example:
    Qual Table:
    Non-Qual1; Non-Qual2; Qualifier.
    Entries:
    "AA", "123", "Yes"
    "BB", "123", "No"
    "CC", "456", "Yes"
    So, when I syndicate this customer record, I would only like to syndicate those entries where the Qualifer = "Yes".
    "Supress Unchanged Records" only works on the whole customer record and if the Search Criteria is set for "Qualifer = "YES", then it chooses the record (correctly), but syndicates all entries from the table.
    Answer
    Try using
    Filter Qualified Links in the Map Properties of the Syndicator.
    If activated, syndication results contain only the data selected in the Selection Pane.
    Tick the check box under the Value Column for that property. By default that check box is not selected. You have to check it.
    This works similar to the 'Filter' check box of the MDM Data Manger.
    Limitation as of SP04
    - One Global setting per map for qualified links plus one global setting per map for multi-valued lookups.
    Please help us to resolve this issue. your input will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance.

    I need to synidate all customer records regardless of contacts linked to the customer.
    A customer can have one to many contacts.  There are several contact functions such as Primary, Sold To, Owner, etc.
    When I syndicate the customer, I need to syndicate all Customer main table data and include Contact data only if the Contacts function = Primary, otherwise the contact data should be null in the syndiation.
    A customer may have no contacts --> Syndicate Customer main table data, contact data is null
    A customer may have theee contacts:  1 = primary, 2 = ship to, 3 = owner  --> Syndicate Customer main table data and Primary contact data
    A customer may have two contacts:  1 = ship to, 2 = owner  --> Syndicate Customer main table data, contact data is null (since no Primary contact exists)
    I hope this clarifies the requirement.
    thanks

  • 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.

  • How to import a idoc

    hi all,
    please help me for how to import a idoc into the imported objects in INTEGRATION REPOSITORY  (XI)

    Hi Manoj,
    Just follow this sequence :
    integration repository --> software component double click --> select radio button which says “import of RFC and IDOC interfaces from SAP systems Permitted”. --> provide the connection data for import from SAP System --> then under imported objects, you have IDoc --> right click and say import of sap objects --> then give your server details and import the IDoc you want.

  • How do i import keyword tags from PSE12?

    I have just downloaded PS and LR5 from Adobe CC. I was using Photoshop Elements 12. How can I import my keyword tags from the PSE Organizer. I saved them as .txt files but they will not import because they contain "special characters." What do I do?  Please do not tell me I have to start over... ~

    is there a way to import tags from PSE 12
    The PSE 12 Organizer and LR 5 use different file formats for exporting and importing keyword hierarchies. PSE uses XML format, while LR 5 uses a tab-separated format.  If you're a programmer or technically minded, you could convert from one to the other using your favorite scripting language.
    But the approach suggested by dj_paige can be modified to accomplish what you want without scripting, by copying the keyword hierarchy from the "upgraded" LR catalog that was created from your PSE catalog to your "good" LR catalog:
    1. Make a manual backup of your "good" LR catalog: Lightroom Help | Back up a catalog.
    2. In LR, open the catalog that you created previously by upgrading (converting) the PSE catalog -- you can usually get to that catalog by doing File > Open Recent.
    3. Go to grid view in the Library by doing Window > Library followed by View > Grid (usually you're already in Library grid view, but just in case...)
    4. Make sure the Keyword List panel is showing on the right by doing Window > Panels > Keyword List.
    5. You should see the keyword hierarchy from your PSE catalog.  If you don't, stop and post a screen shot of the entire LR screen.
    6. Do Metadata > Export Keywords to export those keywords as a LR-format text file.
    7. Open your "good" LR catalog by doing File > Open Recent.
    8. Do Metadata > Import Keywords and select the file you exported in step 6.
    9. All the keywords that were exported in step 6 will be added to the current catalog, and there will be duplicate keywords if there were already keywords of the same name in the catalog.  Those new keywords will not be attached to any existing photos in the current catalog.

  • How to define CPU sets for different hardware cores?

    We're doing a small benchmarking research on parallel benefits of Niagaras, and as one part of
    the research, we want to find out whether there are performance differences between hardware
    CPU cores and strands within a core. From theory, only one strand of a core is executing at any
    given moment, others are "parked" while waiting for IO, RAM, etc. So it may be possible to see
    some difference between a program running with 4-processor "pset"s, i.e. 4 strands of one core
    and 4 separate cores.
    While I can use psrset or poolcfg/pooladm to create and bind actual processor sets consisting
    of a number of processors, I have some trouble determining which of the 32 CPU "id numbers"
    belong to which hardware core.
    On a side note, an X4600 server with two boards lists 4 "Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor
    8218 CPU #" entries in prtdiag, but 8 "cpu (driver not attached)" entries in prtconf, and
    Solaris recognizes 8 processors in pooladm. Again, there's no clue which of these 8 processor
    cores belongs to which socket, and this information could be important (or at least interesting)
    for SMP vs. NUMA comparison within otherwise the same platform.
    So far the nearest ideas I got were from some blog posts about pooladm which suggested to
    make a CPU set for a worker zone with CPU IDs 0-28, and moving hardware interrupts to CPU
    IDs 29-31. I could not determine whether these are single strands of separate cores, or 3 of 4
    strands on a single core, or some random 3 strands how-ever Solaris pleases to affine them?
    Is this a list defined somewhere (i.e. IDs 0-3 belong to core 0, IDs 4-7 belong to core 1 and so
    on, according to Document X) or can this be determined at runtime (prtdiag/prtconf)?
    Is this a fixed list or can the "strand number-CPU core" relations change over time/reboots?
    Perhaps, does Solaris or underlying hardware deliberately hide this knowledge from the OS
    administrators/users (if so, what is the rationale)?
    Finally, am I correct to believe I can place specific CPU IDs into specific psets via pooladm?
    Looking at /etc/pooladm.conf I think this is true (the default pool lists all CPU IDs of the
    system), but wanted some solid confirmation :)
    Thanks for any ideas,

  • Lighttable View mode, Keyword Sets for Import

    1. I'd be nice if we could have some sort of "Lighttable View" mode for the Library module. It would be similar to the Survey Mode, but you can move the photos around on the screen and sort or group them to your liking. E.g., after photographing a demo you could put the shots of the masses in one corner, photos of the police in another etc., the pictures still being double-clickable of course. This way choosing your keepers would become easier I think. It would be nice if Lightroom saved the arrangement, too.
    2. I'd like to see Keyword sets for the Import dialog. E.g. every weekend I need the set "soccer, men's, 2009/2010, AAA league". To have presets like this would make it even easier to work with Lightroom

    Right
    1)
    As a professional photographer I need a lighttable as there is one in "Apple´s Aperture".
    We need a possibility to arrange photos easily and quiclkly and set a aperture to some of thenm right at the shooting set, to demonstrate the
    client how the different photos/locations could be arranged and how they could match together later in the magazine etc.
    This is not a toy feature. Apple understood, that it is a feature we need to have to brainstorm
    right at the set or at home. And this feature sometimes creates right at the set new ideas or prevent
    failures.
    So please Adobe, let there be a "real lighttable" in the next Lightroom version.
    Humans just don´t think in grid mode.

  • How does one manage these new render setting for previews?

    I placed 4 HD clips from a nested into a sequence 5800 x 768 to mimic 4 side by side monitors for a multi channel video.  Each clip cut from the sequence are at 1280x720 all sitting side by side. However when I rendered the previews, they came look all squished. However when I exported the frame it looks fine in Photoshop. (I changed the uploaded image to what it looks like in Premiere in Photoshop to demonstrate the appearance in Premiere.)
    I imagine that the distortion has to do with the sequence render setting which for some reason comes out to 1918 x 253...or the pixel aspect ratio? How does one manage these new render setting for previews so it looks normal in the monitor? 
      

    Either way, I thought that this format would be a great way to view on the monitor 4 channels at the same time. I may need to place them on a “normal” 1440 x 1080 sequence in a line, bringing them down to 25% scale to make it work in the end. I did just try that. I think it will work...but when I imported and nested the old file, the scratch disks changed from the original set up on a D drive back to the main hard drive so I had to change it agin. Otherwise it works fine...so I’ll go with this for now
    These are the instructions I was given.I attched a screen save of the AE file they asked me to use (They must be on vacation, because I have not been able to get hold of them). I don't know After Effects very well:
    “As you begin creating or adapting work for e4c, you may find an After Effects template developed for this system to be helpful. Attached you'll see a zipped file with two AE templates. There is some detailed information (below) from the artist that developed these for us. In addition, a few bits of information that might help you along are:
    ·        The "Watchout"  playback system can support WMV or a QuickTime files . We like .mov files with H.264 codec best!
    ·        The end resolution of the four screens is 5120 x 720 pixels (1280x720 each).
    ·        If works are four-channel, please provide a separate audio (aiff) file so it doesn't slow any one video down.”

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
    Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
    Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
    If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.
