IPTC Keywords are not comma delimited?

I like the fact that I can now export my photos and get the keywords added to the IPTC keywords field in the JPG.
But! Why are the keywords not comma delimited? When I have used other programs (like Photoshop Elements 3) to add keywords, they are stored as comma delimited. But iPhoto just puts spaces between the keywords, and when I upload them to Flickr, they get treated as one multi-word tag instead of individual tags.
The IPTC specification I found says:
+2:25 Keywords+
+Repeatable, maximum 64 octets, consisting of graphic characters plus spaces.+
+Used to indicate specific information retrieval words.+
+Each keyword uses a single Keywords DataSet. Multiple keywords use multiple Keywords DataSets.+
Can this be fixed?

You'll have to request that at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Bridge New keywords are not shown on startup

Hi,
I have some images, (in folder X) which I tagged with NEW keywords I created.
When I reopen bridge, these new keywords are not shown by default.
In ordert to see the above keyword, in the keyword panned, i have to navigate to folder X.
Is this a normal behavoure for bridge?
Is there a way to show all the new user ekywords on startup?
I am working with bridgew CS6, win7 x64.

I have some images, (in folder X) which I tagged with NEW keywords I created.

I think you use Photoshop or other application to add keywords?
The Bridge keyword panel offers you the option to create your own keyword list with parent keywords and sub keywords in it. You can also import an existing keyword list using the little menu icon top right in the keyword panel. And export for back up or new version and/or computer.
If you have Bridge pointed to a file the keywords do show in the list but as italic instead of normal. This means the file has a keyword that is not in the list of Bridge itself. You can make it persistent by using right mouse click on the keyword and after this it shows always in the panel regardless if you point to the file with the keyword or not.
So if you want to make the most of your search function and using keywords you should start to build your own list. This can be done in Bridge but also in a simple text application. Just try to add some different keywords with a couple of sub keywords to the metadata panel and when done use the export function. This provides you with a good example of how to make your own list in a text application that you then cam import again.
Off course before staring to create a long list in a text application be sure to start with a short list and see if importing succeeds…

Why are keywords are not showing ....

Why are keywords are not showing, all other functions and metadata seem fine

LarryHN - Thanks for jerking me back to reality. I've been using iPhoto since 2001, I have over 14,000 images in the file, I use facial recognition, Places, folders, keywords and Events (did I leave anything out?). I installed Lion a couple months ago, I'm running iPhoto '11, version 9.2.1 and I'm not getting any error messages. When I click on View, Keywords I expect to see little boxes under each image with one or more Keywords in it. If I click on View, Info I can see the keywords in the sidebar but they never appear in the main window.

Oops. Return-delimited keywords instead of comma-delimited. Help!

I've been having trouble with "duplicated" keywords, and I think I've found the problem: I'm delimiting my keywords by typing a carriage return but I think I should've used a comma. Is there any way to batch-convert the carriage returns to commas?
Thanks.

no... it doesn't work.
Replacement character is only for some conversion formats.

When publishing to PDF, the File Info keywords are not appearing in adobe bridge?

When I generate a PDF from Framemaker 9, the File Info can be seen when I open the PDF and look in Properties. However, if I look for the keywords using Adobe Bridge, they are not recognized. Is there something I have to do to make them visible in Adobe Bridge?

With LR 3.4.1 my keywords are not saved to file

Since upgrading to LR 3.4.1 my keywords are no longer saved to the files so I can not see them in an external application. If I revert back to LR 3.3 it works OK. Any ideas?
I have the option set to automatically write changes into XMP.
I tried to write metadata to files manually and that does not work either.
The files are .jpg
I'm using a Windows 7 32bit PC.
Thanks...

External drives often have special ACLs on them that can cause access problems for some apps. All it takes is for Lr to change how it accesses file and file metadata (even a change that made it more "correct" -- i.e., a bug fix for some other problem) and it can uncover ACL issues.
I don't know what you would have to do on Windows to remedy this, but on a Mac, I would make sure that the drive is setup to be "shared" so it has additional special ACLs on it that allow ownership to be taken.
But, you want to start at the root of the drive, and reset ALL the ACLs (NOT just the "permissions" which are older, simulated and incomplete settings, and making sure to recurse through the entire folder structures) such that the owner/creator and admins have full control. There may be other special ACLs required if you want to share this disk with different users on different machines. This part I am not familiar with, but it comes up often on Windows support sites. Look or people having similar problems with Windows remote disk services.
Remember, if you have a login on two different Windows machines (assuming you do not have some sort of network-wide login) this is technically two different users (even if they have the same name).

Aperture 3 - custom keywords are not searcheable

Hi,
I used to use keywords in Aperture 2 extensively - I'm a cycling photographer and I add the relevant keywords to cyclists' photos. Given that I have over 100 keywords, I used to use the search function to find the rider I needed. When upgraded to Aperture 3, this stopped working and it only searches among the default keywords, but not my custom ones. Has anyone encountered this problem and if yes, what's the solution?
Thanks,
Balint

That should certainly work.
I just tested with my library and added the keyword 'Wout van Aert'.
The I could find it easily in the Keywords HUD:
The keywords are stored in your Aperture library in internal propertylist files. If the HUD cannot search the keywords properly, these library items may be incorrect.
Make a test - create a new Aperture library and add a few images. Define a few keywords. Does this work in a new library?
If yes, then use the Library First Aid Tools to repair your Aperture library, or to rebuild, if necessary.
see Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library.
To repair or rebuild your Aperture library
Close Aperture, if it’s open.
Locate the Aperture library you want to fix, then hold down the Command and Option keys while double-clicking the Aperture library.
The Aperture Library First Aid dialog appears.
To repair the permissions of the files within your Aperture library: Select Repairing Permissions.
To rebuild your database from scratch: Click Rebuild Database.
Before rebuilding, make sure you have a current backup.

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.

Keywords are not showing up on photos

After going to great length to assign keywords to my entire photo library, I burned all the photos onto iPhoto DVDs in preparation for my computer getting a new hard drive installed.
After new hard drive was installed, I reinstalled iPhoto 4.0.3 and uploaded all my photos from the DVDs. I noticed that my keywords pane had reverted to the default keywords (because I hadn't backed up my plist file for this), so I added all my keywords back into the pane (and deleted the defaults I didn't need).
Now there are only three keywords (out of a possible 12 or so) that are showing up. Favorite, Vacation and 4H.
Why aren't the others showing up??? Is all my hard work lost?
Sandy

Unless you really know what you're doing, the only way to preserve keyword associations is to preserve the entire iPhoto Library folder. Had you burned the entire iPhoto Library folder to disk, your new installation would have only required that you drag the iPhoto Library folder from the disk to the new Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.

Iphoto keywords are not assigned and do not appear in the info.

Until recently I was able to very easily apply my own keywords to my photos. Now, when I go thru the same/similar proces of selecting multiple photos and start assigning keywords, the keywords list is found and finds the words as I type, when I hit enter, it flashes and does not assign a keyword to the photo.
I am using iphoto 11 9.3
Help please

Try using the Keyword pane to assign keywords to single or multiple photos. Select the photos, bring up the keyword pane open (Command+K) and click on the keywords you want to assign:
Assigned keywords to those photos will display blue.
This may only be a workaround but, IMO, it's a more efficient way to assign keywords.

IPhoto keywords are not supported in iMovie Media Search?

Entering a search term in the Photo's tab in Media does not show any iPhoto pictures that have been taged with the Keyword that matches the search term? it only shows pictures that have the search term in the name o fthe file ...
If this is how it works then this is a serious bug or limitation - I took all the trouble to put keywords for my photos and now iMovie cant locate them based on the keyword?
Bye

Yes, that would be the way to do it - but when Apple
is proudly bandying about the iLife integration -
this seems to be lacking.
Hmmm. I don't expect every iLife application to understand all features of the other iLife apps. That level of integration is too cumbersome to achieve, and very hard to maintain.
So long as iMovie is smart enough to "see" the Smart Album we've created in iPhoto, we can use our own brains to achieve the same result as being able to search keywords in iMovie. That's a smart kind of integration. Typical of Apple, the iPhoto software has features that allow us to extend its reach into the iMovie space.

CS3 stripping IPTC keywords

First time listing something in a forum. We are stumped. We have a machine setup with action steps using photoshop cs3 on windows. Randomly when sending photos through cs3 it is stripping out VITAL iptc keyword information.
To test and by pass the steps i simply opened photo in CS3 and get file info on file. All my IPTC keywords are missing. I then take the same photo on a machine with cs2 and/or cs and the IPTC header heyword field info is there.
So it seems that something has changed in photoshop cs 3?
Can any one help? I have many example photos that i can email to someone if they maybe able to help us.

I use Breeze Systems' BreezeBrowser Pro and Downloader Pro to transfer my photos to hard disk and fill the IPTC fields with the shoot information. When I load these files into Photoshop CS3, I find that the "Location" and ISO Country Code fields are blank, even though they still show the shooting location and country (GBR) when I view the IPTC info in BreezeBrowser.
It also trims everthing past 32 characters in the 'Credit' field.
Why does Photoshop lose those values?

Keyword parents not auto-filled

there is still the problem that parent keywords are not autofilled as in former lightroom versions.
for example: parent: car
if i want to add renault under car, in former versions if i typed renault > c than car was auto-filled. please change this again. it is very important. because if i type for example cyr i have a new parent and it is wrong.
thank you very much

Thanks, Kenneth this resolved the issue I was seeing but I don't like how LR handles the keywords differently from when you Export it and when you choose to edit it in CS3.
If you use Export it works like I thought it should as long as you don't select "Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy". If you use the hierarchy option then the synonyms aren't written out. So that resolves that.
But, if you select to Edit in CS3 then the keywords are saved differently in the file. Which is what I was observing: keywords that I selected not to write are written anyway and the synonyms aren't written out.
The work around would be to export the file as a PSD and then read it into CS3 which is annoying since it adds an additional step to the work flow.

Comm Channels are not seen in the Communication Channel Monitoring in RWB

Hello All,

I am on PI 7.0 and SP9. For a simple IDOC to File Scenario, the IDOC is getting sent but the File is not getting written. I have to monitor it for this. As the Comm Channels are not showing so I am not able to Montitor.
Can anyone please suggest me how to do this montoring and how can I see the Comm Channels that I have created.
Thanks in Anticipation

Commit events are not broadcast because no JMS Transport is available.

Just set up a new WebLogic 10.3.2 domain and I am seeing this while starting the Admin Server:
<Mar 1, 2010 6:37:03 PM CST> <Error> <Security> <BEA-000000> <Commit events are not broadcast because no JMS Transport is available. Remote L2 caches will be out of sync.>
anyone have any idea what this is and what's causing it?

Hi,
I followed the instructions given under " Configure the RDBMS security store " ( Step 6 ) and restarted my Server. :-
+6. In the section labeled Server Synchronization Configuration, specify the appropriate settings for JNDI and JMS so that the RDBMS security store can cache database information in memory correctly. If the RDBMS is running in more than one JVM -- for example, the domain has multiple servers, or other Oracle products are sharing the same RDBMS store with the new domain -- these caches must be synchronized to ensure the integrity of the security data.+
To configure server synchronization:
+1. Specify a JNDI user name and password. This can be any valid user in the security realm who has access to JNDI.+
+2. Create a JMS topic. You may reuse an existing one, if desired. For information, see Configure topics.+
Caution: Failure to configure JMS notifications in a multiserver domain in which the RDBMS security store is configured may result in a security vulnerability.
+7. Click Save.+
+8. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.+
Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
However, I still see the same error :-
*+<Error> <Security> <BEA-000000> <Commit events are not broadcast because no JMS Transport is available. Remote L2 caches will be out of sync.>+*
Am I missing something ?
Thanks,
Sandeep Seshan
