Hierarchical keyword are flat in the keywording pane (will export mode)

Hi,
Let's say I have this hierarchical structure of keywords
Birthday
     Bob
Friend
     Alice
     Bob
The "Friend" group is used to identify people present in photo.
But when I shoot Alice at the Bob's Birthday, the exported keywords are : Alice, Birthday, Bob (Friend keyword is not check for export)
I understand it's mainly because hierarchy is not handle by jpg format but I'm looking for a workaround.
Something like automatically convert hierarchical link into the sign '>' to produce a result like : Alice, Birthday>Bob
But I don't know if this is a good idea to proceed like this.
Don't pay too much attention to the example which is very basic. For this kind of structure, I think the best way is to replace "Bob" by "Bob's birthday" to remove the duplicate keyword. But I have more complicated use cases and removing duplicate keyword is not always so easy.
So, did you have some "export tips" ?
May be the problem come from my keyword structure ? Is it evil to have duplicate keyword in different "folder" ?
Thanks

I have give it a try but I have the same problem as decribe here.
Plus, when I check "Write keywords as Lightroom hierarchy" all keyword are exported.
This is fine when you import the file elsewere because you get all the tag hierarchy but this is not what I need :-(
Thanks for the reply

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

No, you should have Restrictions OFF.
Computer's iTunes > Preferences > Parental Preferences > everything should be unchecked.
Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

My mail subfolders are missing from the viewing pane, but available from inbox drop down menu. How do I get them back in the viewpane?

After a restart, all of my mail subfolders are gone from the side view pane. I can pull them down individually from the 'inbox' drop down menu. How do I get them back into the sidebar so I can sort mail out of the inbox?

No anti virus software running as far as I am aware, as in I didn't launch any before reinstating the search email function.
I was running a folder repair function on my inbox (which seemed to complete successfully for the emails in the inbox) when I noticed the majority of the mail folders had disappeared.

My stills are all over the place when I export them. How can I have them play as they appear on the Viewer?

Hello everyone.
When I exported my video (all stills), the images are all over the place. I had adjusted the postition (X & Y) for each one, and when I exported the video, the stills are not staying in one place, but are coming from different angles and different positions. How can I fix it so that when exported, it plays as it does on my Viewer?
Thank you!

First, I'd try deleting all render files in both the associated Events and Projects (File menu). Do not render before exporting.
"Preference Manager" is a free download from Digital Rebellion (dot com) you can delete the FCP X pref files quickly, easily, safely. Try that next.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

Opened premiere and no windows are opening--but the file audio will play as if the video playback window is functioning. I've tried resetting my work space setting several times and it still will not give me any visual. Any idea how to find a way to view

I've even reset my computer a few times and no go.
Where could my editing windows be hiding?

if you have an intel hd graphics: when creating a new project set the renderer to software only. if you have a project open, from the menu, File>Project Settings>General and change the setting there. the "Program Monitor" window will be the one that displays your timeline. if you are on the "editing" workspace, resetting it from the menu should give you the program monitor in the top right corner.

In Thunderbird while trying to move conversation results to an archive folder; if some of the results are already in the folder it will not move any.

Hi. I often use the conversation search option when archiving my emails from inbox. I find this a very useful method of finding trails where I and multiple people have responded to each other. However If I have already moved one or more of these emails into the archive folder and select all to move, Thunderbird will not move any. I then need to individually select those that need to be moved.
Although not a major issue I use this regularly and often come across the problem. a recent fix which allows location tab to remain on in search helps but does not resolve this issue. A slightly annoying problem and I was wondering if any one else has this issue. Also is anyone looking into a solution?

FCPx answer: At least the answer that worked for me...
I had the same problem, as I believe many others had.
In my case the problem was with one of OSX Mavericks' new features: APP NAP.
It looks like this is ON by DEFAULT for ALL Applications and that FCPx, or Compressor for that matter, will not work if this is enabled on them.
I just disabled App Napp on FCPx and now it works, again, like a charm.
This is how you disable App Nap: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57612009-263/how-to-disable-app-nap-in-os-x -mavericks/

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".

Can't drag keywords to top level in the keyword HUD

After having imported my iPhoto library into Aperture 3, I found the keyword HUD cluttered with all of my 300+ keywords, many of which were duplicated. No idea why that is, but anyway. Some of them now live on top level, some on second floor under the main keyword "iPhoto", some of them are duplicates, some are not. That's the situation.
So I want to (a) drag some of them to first level, (b) build my own hierarchy, and (c) consolidate those duplicates that are alloted on separate levels. Now I find myself in trouble. Technically, I can drag any second level keyword from one to another first level keyword, but then they remain always on second floor. I find no way to move it to *first level* in the HUD.
I know that this can be done when the keyword HUD is almost empty. In that case, I drag it to the bottom of the list, see a white border pop up around the HUD, and let go. Simple. But not when the HUDs filled up to the brim?
Am I missing something?

OK ... but you're gonna groan. This is, btw, a long-standing bug (but still an excellent question).
Use the search field to search for the keyword you want to move.
Take advantage of the now empty space in the Keyword HUD to move the keyword.
Clear the search field.
Note that if you set up a well-organized hierarchical keyword list (which seems to be your goal), you can use the other work-around, which is to collapse all levels of the outline.

Wondering where metatags/keywords are kept

Hi there,
Wondering if anyone knows if metatags/keywords are kept somewhere outside of Bridge/CS4 (somewhere on my computer...?). If so, where please?
Thanks!

Again, it depends on what metadata/tags you want to read. Keywords are entered on the file so even Windows Exporter can read them (called tags). With Vista you can even search for them.
If you want the ISO, metering pattern, lens length, whether the flash went off, camera serial number, or whatever, that may have a different answer.
Whether of not another program can read Bridge metadata and keywords I don't know.
This may be a round-about answer, but as with most things there are a lot of variables that influence the answer.

Keywords are not being assigned to photos, Lightroom 2.3

I have recently installed 2.4 and after several bugs, I uninstalled and went back to 2.3 more stable version, everything is still the same ever since, that is:
Still I get the triangles I didn't use to get (I have been using the very same camera, with the same settings for ages now)
Still I get freezing when I assign keywords to single or multiple photos either by the spay tool or the keywording small panel, or the keywording big panel, or even the Keyword list. It simply doesn't register keywords!!!
I closed application and opened again
I repaired installation of 2.3
I changed from develop mode, to loope mode to grid mode
I save my keywords a preset and just clicked them to assign them in one or multiple photos (some times it works sometimes not)
I restored keyword set presets
I used all ways of inputting data=keywords and the system does not respond
hence I cannot really use the most powerful tool of that software that is the keywords, which is frustrating enough all right
I would appreciate your suggestions and ideas of work around's, cheers!

Sorry Sean but my problem is not the list of bugs but the keywords not being assigned to my photos as posted initially. So, in this sense I don't find your post much helpful to be honest.
That's fine, the list wasn't for you, it was for Pete Marshall.
Anyways, I upgraded back to 2.4. Indeed I do believe that its my slow system and processor that is causing the problems. When I fire up lightroom, I close everything else and I still get my fan speeding and pc's heart pulpitating, you know!!
1. I also get other problems like looping the image view for some time before it renders a larger review of the photo I am looking, if I move fast between views. (therefore I can't see the image since it keeps on/off looping)
This is because it's taking ages for your computer to render, due to the low spec. Rendering is quite intensive, so needs lots of power to be quick.
2. It doesn't seem to create virtual copy, but only at times (preferably when it feels like it). I get errors similar to the following.
The virtual copy should always be created, but can be only readily be seen when in the same folder as the master.
3. ...and also I get errors trying to save a Quick collection, like: "Internal Error has occured: C:\....\\Lightroom Catalog.lrcat":PRIMARY KEY must be unique. Statement: INSERT INTO AgLibraryTagImage (Id_local, flattenedParams,image, pick,
Well, you really shouldn't be seeing bare SQLite instructions, so something is definitely up. Try using Relaunch and Optimize from the Catalog Settings 'General' tab. This should detect if there are issues with the catalog itself. Some of the things you are experiencing are due to the speed of the machine, but I don't think all of them are.

Filter by keyword problem: can I type the keyword anywhere?

I hope that I have explained myself sufficiently clearly.
I have assigned a few keywords to a few clips. Is there an easier way to search for a keyword than what I am doing?
Click the small loupe button,
That opens the filter window,
The first line is Text, which I uncheck (but Text cannot be removed) from the window,
Add a second line (keyword),
At that point, the existing keywords appear below, ready to check or uncheck,
That does the search as desired.
My question: is there a faster way, by just typing the known keyword into a field?
Am I correct that the only way to do a keyword search is to check the existing words, and not type them anywhere?
I can do this for Text, (for the clip name) without even opening the Filter Window--just typing the clip name into the field.
Thanks,
Sonny

I don't know of a way to search keywords by typing but if you click the disclosure triangle next to the Event name, that shows your keyword collections for that event. Click one of them and all the clips assigned with that keyword are displayed.
In the search box, you do not need to uncheck the Text search. Instead, click the small button with the down arrow and choose Keywords.
When all the keywords appear, they are checked but you can choose to uncheck them all, then select the ones you want. Not as quick as simply typing a word into a box, but an imporvement on what you described (I hope).
