Keyword and Keyword SETS export option

We REALLY, REALLY need a way to export complete Keyword Sets and Keywords to a file.
I now know, sadly too late, that you can copy the folders from--C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge--to someplace safe and get a backup.
But this is hardly intuitive.

Being new to bridge, the inability to export the keyword sets is one of the first most glaring feature omissions I have found.

Need help setting export options

I'm working on replacing our old RDC component with the new Java SDK.
I purchased Crystal Reports 2008 and downloaded the SDK. Now I'm trying to run a simple example exporting a report to word. I've built it off of the other export examples I've seen on the site. None of them seem to give me an up to date example of how to set export options though.
Exporting seems to work when I export using this:
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream) report.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.MSWord);
But not when I do this:
ExportOptions opt = new ExportOptions();
opt.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.MSWord);
RTFWordExportFormatOptions myOptions = new RTFWordExportFormatOptions();
opt.setFormatOptions(myOptions);
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream) report.getPrintOutputController().export(opt);
Is there something I'm missing? I want to be able to explicitly set my export options - especially for other export formats like excel.

Unfortunately I must still be doing something wrong. The csv is exported but it comes back with gibberish characters in the file instead of what is in my Crystal. PDF comes back fine but the other export formats (xls, doc, csv, etc.) all come back with gibberish characters.
Here is an example of the csv export code I'm using::
ExportOptions opt = new ExportOptions();
CharacterSeparatedValuesExportFormatOptions csvOptions = new CharacterSeparatedValuesExportFormatOptions();
csvOptions.setSeparator(",");
csvOptions.setDelimiter("\"");
opt.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.characterSeparatedValues);
opt.setFormatOptions(csvOptions);
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream) report.getPrintOutputController().export(opt);
I don't believe I can use ReportExportControl - it doesn't seem to be a part of the SDK I downloaded(but maybe I'm missing something) - I need the SDK version for Crystal Reports 2008.
I do have Microsoft Office 2003. Maybe this is causing issues?

Upgraded to most recent ID CC 2014 version and now my Export Options are missing

I'm on a Mac running 10.10.2 and when I hit EXPORT, I used to see Option for Interactive PDF, Print PDF, JPG etc. Since I installed the latest ID CC 2014 this option is just gone. I rebuilt my prefs and it didn't help, no option.

Based on that answer, it looks like you have to reinstall InDesign from a new download. Had issues with updates to Premier and Illustrator on the last set of updates to CC 2014. I restored those from my TM back-up and haven't bothered to update again. Hard to lose hours of production to work around the problems with incremental updates.

Is there a problem with Allen Bradley PLC and web server export options

It says this object will not run in a client version. I have a development version and a client version. Maybe I'm not understanding the error message. Lookout 5.0

The process you upload to a web server needs to be a poor client process. It means you have to create a client process without the PLC driver and a server process with the PLC driver. You will just upload the client process and the server process will stay on the Lookout Server machine.
There are several links on the support site those explain the prefered client-server architecture to choose for a Lookout application.

How to exclude top-level keywords from export?

Hi,
I have keywords organised into a hierarchical structure; I never want the top-level keywords to appear in the exported image but can't find a quick way to do it.
I can make it work by going to one of it's children and editing that keyword tag, unchecking the "export containing keywords" however I can't see a way of batch performing this action and the number of keywords I have make it impractical to do one by one.
I tried clicking on the top-level keyword and unchecking the export option. It still exports and is even listed when I make the keyword tags dropdown "Will Export".
If any of your gurus know the answer or can explain how I am misunderstanding the export terminology, please let me know...
Thanks,
Steve
PS I have tried exporting with & without option "Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierachy"

Thanks for that - its nearly right but I had tried doing that already and it didn't work.
The reason why is when simply unchecked the Export Containing Keywords and Export Synonyms remain ticked but greyed out. I assumed that having been greyed out they are no longer effecting the output in any way but I was wrong.
So, simply uncheck ALL the items in that dialogue box for top-level terms.
Thanks again!

ReportViewer 2010:how to hide pdf in export option in reportviewer

please help me out
how shoul i hide pdf in export option in reportviewer
susana w

Hi,
This is the code which is used for ReportViewer 2008 and i need code for ReportViewer 2010. I don't want to change in the reportserver's RSReportSErver.Config
file because same report server we are using for different projects where in some projects we require pdf and some we do not. Below is the code for reportviwer 2008 where the export button is rendered as a dropdown and in reportviwer 2010, Export button is
redered as div element and all the export options like pdf,word,etc elements are rendered as div elements . So in code behind how can i access these export button options?
private void CustomizeReportViewer(System.Web.UI.Control reportControl)
foreach (System.Web.UI.Control childControl in reportControl.Controls)
if (childControl.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList))
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList ddList = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList)childControl;
if (ddList.ToolTip.Contains("Export"))
ddList.PreRender += new EventHandler(ddList_PreRender);
if (childControl.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button))
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button ddList = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button)childControl;
if (ddList.UniqueID.Contains("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_rptviewerByBrandBySentimentAttribute_ctl06_ctl04_ctl00_Button"))
ddList.PreRender += new EventHandler(ddList_PreRender);
if (childControl.Controls.Count > 0)
CustomizeReportViewer(childControl);
// This is the event handler added from CustomizeRV
// We just check the object type to get what we needed.
// Once the dropdownlist is found, we check if it is for the ExportGroup.
// Meaning, the "Excel" text should exists.
// Then, just traverse the list and disable the "Excel".
// When the report is shown, "Excel" will no longer be on the list.
// You can also do this to "PDF" or if you want to change the text.
void ddList_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (sender.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList))
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList ddList = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList)sender;
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItemCollection listItems = ddList.Items;
if ((listItems != null) && (listItems.Count > 0) && (listItems.FindByText("Excel") != null))
foreach (System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem list in listItems)
if (list.Text.Equals("XML file with report data") || list.Text.Equals("CSV (comma delimited)") || list.Text.Equals("TIFF file") || list.Text.Equals("Word") || list.Text.Contains("PPS"))
list.Enabled = false;

Exporting Keyword sets

Is it possible to export Keyword sets from one computer and import them in Lightroom on another?

Jens,
If I understand you correctly, you're looking for a transfer of the keword sets, and not the keywords present in the list.
The keyword sets are stored in the LR presets folder (on Windows this is "%appdata%\Adobe\Lightroom\Keyword Sets". You can copy them from one computer into the same folder on another computer.
An alternative would be to choose "Store Presets with Catalog", but this has further implications (see here).

Keywords in Master file and AP database-- Export Problem.

I believe that I have a conflict with keywords. I believe that I have "baked in" keywords by writing IPTC to the Master files and then added more keywords which I am guessing are in the Aperture database and not "baked in". When I then look at exported images using the XMP sidecar file with Adobe Bridge all of the keywords do not show up. I want to experiment with Lightroom and I want all of the keywords.
My process has been:
1. Add keywords to images from the keywords panel.
2. Write the IPTC metadata to the master files.
3. Add more keywords to the images from the keywords panel.
4. Export the images using the File/Export Masters/Create IPTC4XMP sidecare file.
5. Look at the exported images in other applications (Bridge and PhotoMechanic).
How can I export using XMP sidecar files and have ALL the keywords be exported???

Yes, this is a known problem; sqldev distinguishes between the Constraint and the Index although the former implies the latter...

Keyword Sets do not stayed edited, and a suggestion for Adobe

Hello, and thanks for any assistance. I have repeatedly tried to customize and edit Keywords Sets, only to have them revert to their previous state as soon as I swapped to a different set. Either some of the Adobe default words, e.g., "Landscape," will reinsert themselves, or some other weird things happen.
All I know is that I'm having to do this over and over. I've tried quitting as soon as I finished an edit, and that doesn't work. They just don't retain my changes.
Also, while I'm at it, it seems to me that having one infinite (or much larger than a mere 12) keywords available at any given time would be much more efficient than limiting us to 12. The problem is exascerbated because, of course, when I try to go to a second Keyword Set, it hasn't kept my edits, and I have to type them all in anew. What would be great is if the Keyword Set appeared as it does on the left, under the Navigator, and we could check-box all we wanted to apply.
Thanks.

Export keyword sets from CS2 to CS4

I've been using CS2 and have a ton of keyword sets built up. I now have CS4 and will be upgrading to CS5 at some point. How can I get those keyword sets out of CS2 and into CS4?

The keyword file is in user/app data/roaming/adobe/bridge or something like that. Belive you can copy and paste.

Set up options and Exporting Z1 footage

Hi
I've been asked to help my friend out with a project that he's filming on a Z1.
I haven't used FC for a while so I'm a bit rusty! What set up options should I use to start the project, and which options are best to export the finished project?
Thanks

Thanks for the advice.
I finally got my footage today. I tried to log and capture the footage from a tape reader with the HDV 1080i50 Easy Setup preset, but the screen was blank. I could see the footage on the tape reader screen but not in Final Cut.
I tried using different fire wires and different MACS but still no joy. As a final resort I tried a different MAC without changing the Easy Setup and leaving the project on the DV Pal preset, and it worked.
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? If I captured the project using the DV Pal preset, wouldn't the footage be overly-compressed? Or Am I thinking about this all wrong? The footage is definitely HDV!
And while I'm here does anyone know of any material that I could 'study' to help me understand the setups/compressions etc. I find it really confusing!
Thanks again
Ian

Is it possible to backup LR keywords without export/import?

Hi everyone,
I know that I can periodically export my entire keyword list as a .txt file, and that from this I could subsequently reimport this file in order to reconstitute the rather extensive hierarchical list I have carefully built up over the years in the event of a hard drive crash, new install etc.
What this approach relies upon however is that I routinely export my keywords to a file that I later backup. As I am constantly making incremental additions to my keyword list and know I will not be disciplined enough to export a new .txt file each time I am looking for an automated solution I can incorporate in my daily backup routine that backs up my entire keyword list every day so that incremental additions are captured.
I have a daily backup routine running from Syncback which backs up a number of directories. Included in this is my Application Data\Adobe\ folder, meaning all of my personal PS actions, and Workspace settings are backed up, as well as my LR Develop Presets folder and others. The Keyword Sets folder is backed up, but this simply holds the .lrtemplate files that correspond to the various keyword sets I have created. There is not, as far as I can see, a file within the %User\Application Data\Adobe\ folder that provides the entire keyword list.
Is there a single file for the keyword list that Lightroom creates, and if so what is its location? Or is this data embedded in XMP within the catalog?
Thanks and hope that's clear,
Dave M

Thx DJ.
That's helpful to know. I do have LR set up to prompt me to backup the catalog every week which I almost always do, and the original Lightroom catalog folder is part of my routine backup, done each day. Good to know that the keywords are in there.

Multiple Keyword Sets (For Multiple Databases)

I work with several different Lightroom databases and it would be nice to be able to have separate sets of keywords that go with each database.
In my specific case, I use one database for my personal photographic endeavors and another for an image library for our church. The keywords tags used for my Nature photography images and the tags used for the event photography shots for church are very different. Hence, there are lots of keywords in both libraries that have zero images attached to them.
It would be very useful in you could allow multiple keyword sets to track with multiple databases.

There issues'Purge unused Keywords' option under Menu/Metadata.
Don't ya know.

How does one not include parent keywords on Export?

I am new to Lightroom and have an issue regarding keywording. I put my keywords into my RAW files. Then I export the RAW to a jpg. The jpg always includes the parent keywords of the keywords I enter for the RAW file. I do not want this to happen!! I only want the keywords I enter. There seems to be no way to prevent this from ocurring (at least none that I have found).
So, is there a way to prevent the inclusion of parent keywords on export? In addition, is there a way to promote my sub-keywords so they no longer have parents?
Thank you.

I have already tried unchecking the "include on export".
You need to uncheck "Export Containing Keywords" of the child keyword. For example, if you have the hierarchy Places > United States, and you don't want "Places" exported, you need to uncheck "Export Containing Keywords" from the keyword "United States":
Also, in the File > Export dialog, be sure to uncheck the option Metadata > Write Keywords As Lightroom Hierarchy. This will stop the child keywords from getting written into the exported metadata fully qualified; e.g. the keyword will be written as "United States" rather than "Places|United States".

How are you handling keyword sets?

After spending a little time keywording tonight, I like both Stamping and the "Assign this keyword to selected photo" options. Both are faster and easier than I anticipated. :-)
The one speed bump has been keyword set creation. It appears to limit each set to nine keywords. Is that right? If so, I guess you could divide long sets into several nine-word subsets. But if you want them in alphabetical order, what happens when you add a new keyword to the set? Wouldn't you need to shuffle everything that follows?
My temporary solution has been to create sets in the left Keyword Tags panel using "child of" nesting. This keeps that panel -- which otherwise sorts alphabetically without regard to category -- better organized and shorter. So far, I am keywording entirely from that side.
Does this make sense? If you need long sets or deep nesting in your sets, how are you approaching keywording? BTW, the more I use it, the better I like LR.

Alexander, what I'm asking about is how people handle long sets. If a keyword does not fall into the natural short-list category described by Mike, that doesn't mean you only use it "occasionally."
Suppose you regularly photograph species -- flowers, birds, animals -- or football teams with 85 players on a side. You don't want to type every name or drag and drop, do you? As Steve Jobs said of using a stylus: Yuck. Or Ick. Or Blech. Or whatever he said. :-)
The best solution I've found is to nest the lists in the left panel to shorten the panel, and then select images, twirl down the nested list to the desired keyword, and cmd-click to "Assign this keyword to selected photos." But that adds a step to the (IMHO) faster, easier system in Bridge.
Just asking if others have found a quicker way.
