Keyword Functionality

In Adobe Elements you could find a keyword and only that keyword. For example, assume image 1 had a keyword of baby and image 2 had a keywords of baby and mom.
There was a way of searching for only baby without anything else...you'd get image 1 but not image 2 in the above example.
Alas, I can't believe there isn't a way to do this in Bridge (2.1)...but if there is I can't figure it out.
Can you please add the functionality to Bridge that it's baby brothers Elements have had for about 5 years now?

I agree that this would be very useful. It could easily be added to the "Filter" panel- clicking once on a keyword would show images with those keywords, and clicking twice would put a little "-" sign next to the keywords and NOT show images with that keyword. You could then mix and match check-marks and minus-signs to get the filtered results you want.
From the tutorial videos, for example, Filtering for (check) the Sofija keyword and against (minus) the, um, other girl's name would return pictures of ONLY Sofija in the content pane.

Elements keyword functionality

I have been using Elements 6 and really appreciate the keywording function; in that you can create keywords as top level or nested, drag them to a selection of photos and then just click on the keyword in the same panel and view only the photos with that keyword. I am disturbed that this functionality does not seem to be available in bridge CS4. I see that I can create nested keywords in one panel and then click on them to assign them to a selection of photos, and I see that the assigned keywords show up in a list in the filters panel, but are not nested. I understand that I can click on the keyword in the filter panel and see the photos with that keyword. This seems cumbersome to me and especially surprising considering that the elements system is so elegant, why it is not used in the supposedly more sophisticated program. I hope someone can point out to me that I am just missing something.

Elements uses a a table for keywords which makes what you describe easier to acomplish. With Bridge the keywords are written to each photo. So it would seem to a non-programer like me what you are asking for would be more difficult.

Request: Make Keyword 'function' Optional for Parameterless/Void Functions

Say I have function
doJob (startThis:function(), whenDone:function()) When I am using this function doJob(), it would be nice to be able to do
doJob( {code_to_do_something}, {code_to_do_something});
// instead of
doJob( function(){code_to_do_something}, function(){code_to_do_something});Or be able to define a parameterless void function as
var hello = {println ("Hello")}; and invoke that function using form
hello();This would eliminate some verbosity introduced by the function keyword.

@PhiLho
Yes, to you just 10 character is not a big deal. But to the rest of us who have to keep repeating those 10 chars over and over in larger applications it does become a big deal.
Your example of ar foo = {fooCall("Stuff"}; is misplaced. Why would you trap a non-void function call inside a void fn? If fooCall returns something then obviously the compiler would try to return via the calling function and this is a problem (as you point out) regardless of what the syntax is.
My suggestion is more toward bringing sensible syntax shortcut/sugar in the language.

Adding Keyword Function To Smart Album?

After creating a smart album, I click on the magnifier icon which brings up the Smart Settings box. I want to enter some keywords to the keyword section, but it is greyed out. How do I activate it? The Rating and Calendar sections are both available, but Keywords and Import Session are greyed out.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

As far as I can tell Smart Albums populate the
keywords search information
based on the Smart Albums location in the library.
Try clicking on 'Library'
then creating a smart album at the top level.
Ah, that's the secret. Thanks. Everything works fine
when I create a Smart Album at the top level.
No problem -- After you have the Album created at the top level you should be able to move it to wherever you want it. Not the best design desicision in my opinion.
This is true for me, too, but a weird way for things
to work. Seems to me that a better way is to have all
the keywords available as a selection.
Yeah I don't like that either, but then I have several other complaints with the search options... perhaps version 1.1 will work a little better.

Where is Output function in Bridge for Windows

I am learning Adobe Photoshop and am being introduced to Bridge. The Tutorial I am using demonstrated the Output function which allow images to be converted to PDF's. In my Windows version I am finding a Keyword function in it's place that does not do the same thing. Can someone tell me where the Output function is for the windows version of Bridge?

In my Windows version I am finding a Keyword function in it's place that does not do the same thing.
Not sure if I understand this problem, there is a Keyword panel where you can add keywords and sub keywords or select already existing keywords
Can someone tell me where the Output function is for the windows version of Bridge?]
In Bridge CC it is gone with numerous posts about it hence you did not get a reaction on your post. But since you clarified you have CS6 then there are two ways. One is a tiny little icon left in the top bar (Between the 'edit in Camera Raw' and 'left and right rotation arrows' showing a paper with folded edge.
The other more easier way is to select the workspace called 'Output'. You can find this at the right side of the top bar next to the search field. Either click on the triangle to reveal the rest of the names or drag the 2 vertical dotted lines to the left to extend the row of workspace names.

How Can I Delete All Keywords in All Files?

I'm starting to get the hang of how to use the keyword functions in Lightroom, and I can see that I've been sort of mis-using them for a while.
In one of my catalogs, I would like to eliminate ALL the keywords I associated with ALL the files (about 3,500) in the catalog, and start over.
Is there any easy way to remove all the keywords, without having to go through every image individually??
Even folder by folder would be preferable to image by image.
Doable?
Thanks,
--PS

Actually, what worked was the solution I found here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/2.0/WSA83AE0BC-9C98-4699-BCC2-33FDE227AF92.html
"To permanently delete a keyword tag from photos and the catalog, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the keyword tag in the Keyword List panel and choose Delete from the menu. You can also select keyword tags and click the Minus icon (-) at the top of the Keyword List pane"
I went through and deleted the keywords themselves, and that removed them from all the images/files that had those key words. That also allowed me to leave the few keywords I wanted to actually keep.
So that problem is solved, I think...
Thanks,
--PS

Keyword Tags Won't Delete

I am using Lightroom 1.4.1 on a Vista platform. When I delete keyword tags they disappear temporarily, only to reappear later. I have tried the Purge Unused Keywords function and I have tried to right click the keyword and select Delete. In all cases they seem to be deleted, but reappear later. I have removed the keywords in question from any photos they were applied to, so all the keywords that I'm trying to delete show 0 images. Here is a sample of the keywords: <component; <place; <worklist. Could the "<" sign in the keyword name be the problem? I have tried to rename the keywords, thus removing the "<" from the name, but they still keep coming back. Some more info which may be important in resolving this. These keyword names appear to have been created by Lightroom itself of Photoshop CS3 (V10.0). I originally had keywords enclosed in brackets, eg <place>. When I edited the images with the Develop module and Photoshop, once I returned to the Library module the edited image would have the system created keyword, eg <place (without the closing bracket). In other words I now had two keywords for the same thing: <place> and <place.

Tried the throw away top level key word idea as you suggested, but it didn't resolve the problem. I also deleted the 'dud' keywords from Bridge and Windows Photo Gallery and then went back to Lr and tried the suggestion again. It still didn't work. There are 3 dud keywords that keep reappearing in Windows Photo Gallery, despite having been deleted. It's amazing how all but three seem to have gone for good from Windows Photo Gallery. What makes the three persistent ones special, I have no idea.
What's puzzling is that once I've deleted the dud keywords and then export my keywords to a text file, the text file is 'clean'; like they've gone from Lr. However, when they reappear and I export my keywords again to a text file, they show up in the text file.
It like they're hiding away in the image files or some database in such a way that I can't access them and when I edit or rename a 'good' keyword it causes Lr to re-read the image file or database and import the keywords. This, despite that fact that none of the dud keywords show up in the metadata for any of my images as displayed by Lr; eg in the Keywording panel on the right. They also no longer show up in Bridge or Windows Photo Gallery (except for 3). Furthermore, all the dud keywords show '0' for the number of images they're assigned to.
By the way, I've also tried the Purge Unused Keywords function to no avail.

PDF/A keywords still doubled in Acrobat 9.3

After Adobe Acrobat for Windows is patched to version 9.3, the long-standing PDF/A keywords bug is still present. When Saving As PDF/A, the words in Document Properties >Description >Keywords are doubled.
Does anyone know an effective way to ask Adobe to fix that bug? I suspect a fix would be a small matter for Adobe, and of course it's disappointing that version 9.3 does not include such a fix.
Thanks!

Michael,
Yes, the "PDF/A keywords" bug was reported via that link -- more than once, and by more than me. See, for example, http://forums.adobe.com/message/2435312#2435312.
Would it help if *you* also reported it? You have a significantly larger presence on this forum than I do. If you feel that could help, please do report the bug.
And/or, is there another way to obtain Adobe's attention on the matter? Acrobat is a major product for Adobe, and "9" is still its current version, so it's difficult for me to understand why such an exasperating problem that needs only such a simple fix does not obtain Adobe's immediate attention (for instance, via a specific patch). The problem could probably be solved with less than an hour of a programmer's time. For a paid-in-full Acrobat 9 Pro user, who needs and uses the PDF/A feature, it feels like being held hostage to the whims of the software's developer.
For now, my workaround is to generate my PDF/A files via non-Adobe software, where the "PDF/A keywords" function works just as it should.

IPhoto 6 unusably slow (starting with keywords and then the rest o product)

As I've mentioned in a post in another thread, I upgraded to iPhoto 6 a few weeks ago. From the moment of upgrade, anything associated with the keyword function (applying, searching, even scrolling the keyword box) is painfully slow--60 seconds to 3+ minutes at a time (that's the average--I've had waits of 90 seconds to apply 1 keyword to 1 photo and 8 minutes to apply 1 keyword to 27 photos). Since that last post, I've also discovered that the longer I try to use the product, the slower EVERYTHING in the product gets (other than scrolling the library).
I use iPhoto as a database, not an image editor. To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, the types of things I'm trying to do include:
* apply one keyword to 30 photos
* click on one photo after having assigned a keyword to a different subset of photos
* scroll down one page in the keyword box
* select 4 photos
* scroll one page in the main iPhoto view of photos
* search by keyword
I've re-installed, re-built, and re-started. I can also say that the longer I try to use iPhoto 6 in one session, the worse the performance gets. Yesterday morning I had to keyword 150 photos from a party and forced myself to use iPhoto so they could be searched with another set of pictures already in iPhoto. It took me OVER 1 HOUR to assign an average of 6 keywords to each photo with selections averaging 10-15 photos at a time. I am not exaggerating--I timed it (63 minutes). For the record, no other applications were running: iPhoto was flying solo (I thought running alone might help performance, but it didn't. I'm no software programmer but I have a lot of experience with computers and whatever is tying iPhoto's resources into a knot seems to be between iPhoto and iPhoto or iPhoto and the OS.)
Also, the longer I used the product, the fewer "actions" it saw. So, for example, at the beginning I could click 3 keywords on the same keyword pane view and all 3 would apply to the selected photos (with a still dismal response, but at least I was getting 3 assignments for each response). By the end, only 1 assignment would be "seen" at a time even if 3 were clicked (and the other 2 would be translated into some random actions as iPhoto would scroll the keyword pane and assign a random keyword--not necessarily on the same side or the same position on the screen of the keywords I had actually clicked). The result? The functional response time tripled.
The product is not only much worse than iPhoto 5, it's unusably slow. Sadly, I've already upgraded. So I'm wondering if anyone can tell me:
1) Is there any way to know officially if Apple is addressing this specific problem? I know other people are experiencing this and thought there would be a fix from Apple by now, but nothing.
2) Is there any way to bail out of iPhoto 6 and go back to iPhoto 5? I know there's no official path, but (A) is there any unofficial path and (B) what would I lose?
3) Since iPhoto 6 is the only iLife product I use, I feel especially ripped-off. What I'd really like to do is get a refund and pursue a different solution. Any thoughts there?

Old Toad
Since I last wrote I have:
* Rebuilt the directories with Disk Warrior. The problems I had were 30+ overlaps between iPhoto images and iTunes song files.
This got rid of the 8 minute responses, but performance was still unusably appalling.
* I cleaned out the user caches with OnyX.
No change in iPhoto performance.
* I reinstalled iPhoto. (Because of the overlaps I also tried to reinstall iTunes but it doesn't have an obvious path for that. Given the number of hours I've already burned on this Apple problem I didn't have the fight in me for another one).
No change.
* Per another post in this forum I emptied iPhoto trash, then per Old Toad I rebuilt the iPhoto library with the first 3 options.
Noticeable improvement, but the performance is still dreadful.
* Did a re-install and archive of OS X (per a friend's suggestion) and downloaded all the system updates anew.
No improvement.
So after rebuilding my system from the directories up, re-installing iPhoto, and rebuilding the iPhoto library I'm "back to" 30 second to 3+ minute waits for everything when the Photo Info pane is active. For example, it takes 30-90 second waits for tasks such as:
* changing a tab in the Photo Info pane
* trying to scroll the Keywords tab of the Photo Info pane
* assign 1 keyword to 1 photo
It takes 2-3+ minute waits for tasks such as:
* scrolling the main window (one click in the scroll bar--not dragging) when the Photo Info pane is open
* assigning 1 keyword to 36 photos
* closing the Photo Info pane (AFTER however many minutes it took for the final commit i did before trying to exit)
My observations:
* When the ball is spinning on the screen, iPhoto doesn't "remember" what I do as other applications do, although the Keywords pane will occasionally scroll backward or forward--apparently randomly--in response to a single click anywhere in iPhoto. (And I'm not one of those people who bangs on the keyboard constantly when the computer is busy: I'm talking about a click that might get in before the ball starts spinning on the screen.)
* The first "click" after opening the Photo Info Pane (either the Keywords tab or the first keyword box) is always "free"--no problem with excessively long waits. The second click after after a "free" click always has the burdensome wait times. Occasionally, though, in the first 3-5 clicks in the Photo Info pane the first click after what I'm assuming is a commit does not have the painful wait times. After those first 3-5 clicks, though, every click gets this excessive wait.
* It seems odd to me how consistent the minimum wait is: right around 30 seconds. The click is either "free"--i.e. no perceptible wait time (or a reasonably minimal wait, given the task at hand)--or it's 30+ seconds.
These response times really do make the product unusable for me. Does anyone:
1) Have any other suggestions?
2) Know how I can find out whether this problem is being pursued by Apple?
3) Know of any path out of the product so I can put myself out of my misery?………

Adding keywords to a web page with Dreamweaver 8

Hi,
Does anyone of you know how to add keywords to a web page
with Dreamweaver 8? I want the link to the web page shows up when
people google the keywords. I pulled out the instructions from
ehow.com and followed the instructions by using the HTML Keywords
function in the Insert menu. I tested it on Google website by
entering the keywords but it did not work.
Any clues would be helpful.
Thanks,
Shirley

Let's put it this way - those sites I have that are highly
ranked do not
have any meta keywords on them. So - you do the math....

Keywords in CS5

Is there a limit to the number of keywords/phrases and page descriptions can you put in the keyword function in CS5? My site offers a range of services and we are targeting a wide range of areas and cities potentially adding up to 100s of keyword permutations and variations. We also need to direct potential visitors to the homepage only for them to then decide where they want to go so we cannot split these keywords between pages. Also, how does this keyword function work alongside SEO activity (metatags/keywords etc) done within the coding of the site itself? Thanks.

CS4 and CS5 use different cache systems. For a serch to work you will have to build the CS5 cache. Do a search with the box checked search non-indexed files.

Hierarchical keywords

Now that with LR 1.1 the db/library became finally usable, I wonder how consistent the keyword functionality in LR really is. On the left side we have the 'hierarchical keyword' panel which works great! However all the other keywording tools in the library module seem to deal always with single keywords. For example, if I have duplicate keywords at different hierarchy levels like in the following case:
things.vehicles.cars
events.2007.motorshow.cars
How do I deal with such cases when I use the keywording tool on the right panel? I think that the present mechanisms also enhances the probability for inconsistencies in the keyword tree because of typing errors. My feeling is that a single instance to define keywords in the hierarchical keyword tree and other tools to assign them to the pics would be the best, but maybe I simple don't fully understand the keyword concept in LR...

I have been taking a new look at some of my hierarchical keywords now that LR1.1 is out and am even more puzzled. I have a group of old images that had never been in LR, but had been re-organized in Vista Photo Gallery. When I tried importing some of them into LR1.1 they came in with the hierarchical tree intact in the Keyword Tags panel as pretty as you please with only the lowest level of the keyword chain displayed in Keywording. Then I copied a RAW file to my desktop, imported it into LR with no keywords, added the hierarchical keywords I had previously imported and exported the file to a new jpeg. Photo gallery added each keyword as a top-level keyword instead of adding them to the proper hierarchy. Those keywords are separated by commas in the picture/properties/details/tags field. What really puzzles me is that if I import a jpeg that I had previously exported from LR with a top level keyword and added to a keyword hierarchy in Photo Gallery it comes in with all the keywords in the hierarchy separated by a "/" even though I do have the "Treat "/" as a keyword separator" box checked in preferences. For my personal needs, it still more convenient to use only top level keywords in LR and to use the drag and drop method in Photo Gallery to organize them into hierarchies- at least until Adobe and Microsoft sort this out or someone shows me what I am doing wrong. Edit: I should say that I re-imported the just-exported jpeg file. It came in with the keywords separated by commas.

"Delete Keyword" reports nonexistent photos

iPhoto 7.1.1 ('08). Cmd-K, select Edit Keywords, select Movie, hit Minus to delete. iPhoto says 4 photos will have the keyword removed. That's strange, I don't know of any Movie photos. So I did a Search for keyword Movie: zero. I did a Smart Album of Keyword Is Movie: zero. (For what it's worth, I have no hidden photos anywhere in my library.)
I exited iPhoto, restarted with Cmd-Option, rebuilt library with every possible thing checked off. Still get the mismatch in quantity of Movie keywords between Delete and Search/Smart.
So why does Delete Keyword think there are 4 Movie keywords when there are none? or alternatively, if there really are 4 such photos, how do I find them?

Thanks for the reply, Terence Devlin. I'm still not sure what it all means.
When you import a Movie, the keyword is applied to it automatically.
Understood. In the past, I have imported a movie or two by mistake (occasionally I accidentally bump the control on my camera that puts it into movie mode). But I deleted those movies; or at least, all the ones I could find.
The photos referred to may simply be a typo referring to the Movies themselves.
I'm sorry, I am not able to figure out what you mean by this sentence. Perhaps you could try rephrasing it? "Typo" means a mistake in data entry (a mistyping) but there was no data entry involved here (I never manually assigned the keyword "Movie" to anything). Rather than an error in data entry, do you perhaps mean a mistake made by iPhoto? That would be a "defect" (or "bug" to use the programmer's euphemism) rather than a "typo." Or do you mean something else.
Do you have movies in the Library?
As I said in my original post, not to my knowledge. If I am to believe iPhoto's keyword-search function or its Smart-album-creation function, then I am correct that there are no movies. But if I am to believe iPhoto's delete-keyword function, then there are a few movies--but how the heck can I find them if neither keyword-search nor Smart-album-creation will identify them?

Bridge find by keyword no longer finds anything

I have Creative 3 Suite Design Premium installed on an HP notebook running Vista SP1 64-bit. I have updated Bridge manually to 2.1.1.9. The Bridge find by keyword function (e.g., right click on a keyword in the hierarchy, and select find in the current folder) no longer ever finds a photo by keyword. This is true even if the photo is in the folder that is currently open within Bridge.
I have tried reinstalling CS3 completely. I have tried deleting the file Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml, and also the entire contents of the Cache folder, both under [me]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS3. Neither fixes the problem. The problem has been escalated within HP Tech Support, but unfortunately I was out when they called back today. But in any case, I thought I would throw the question open to this forum, hoping that someone might have some ideas. Thanks.

If you hold down ctrl and F, for the find window, type in keyword, and click on "include non-indexed folders" will it find it?
If the folder has not been indexed it will find nothing. But you don't need to have it checked all the time as it will re-index every time if you do, which is slow.

Keyword window does not show all keywords and cannot be resized

I have hundreds of keywords in my iPhoto library. I used to use bullstorm's keyword manager to add keywords to my photos and filter my photos when looking for something specific. With iPhoto '11, this plugin no longer works. That is not apple's fault. However, now that I have to use iPhoto's inherent keyword manager, I have found what I think is a very frustrating bug.
If you have hundreds of keywords and you try to use iPhoto's filter mechanism - click on Search in the lower toolbar, then click on 'keyword' to bring up the keyword window - the following happens. The popup window only has 4 columns of keywords and cannot be resized. In my window, I have so many keywords that the keyword window flows off the screen, obstructing any keyword starting with a-i. I only see keywords starting with the letter i-z. It is thus impossible for me filter my search by any keyword starting with a letter at the beginning of the alphabet. I have the biggest iMac screen, so this is not just a laptop or small screen issue.
I think in order for this keyword function to be useful, this bug needs to be fixed. The window should either be scrollable or resizable.
Please apple - fix this!!!

Please apple - fix this!!!
I quite agree, but Apple aren't here. There are only other Users here. It's all explained in the Trms of Use.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to the developers.
And, of course, in the meantime, Smart Albums will work.
