Keyword Set Bug?

When switching between keyword sets using "command 0" the keywords of the new set having the same position (keypad number) of keywords selected in the previous set are highlighted and must be chosen twice (once to remove highlighting and once to select). Is this a bug or something I am doing incorrectly? Using MacPro.

  • Keyword exporting bug also impacts catalogs imported from PSE 6

    Hi,
    I haven't seen any mention of it, but the keyword exporting bug reported for catalogs imported from LR 1.x also impacts catalogs imported from Photoshop Elements 6. i.e. all Keywords imported from my PSE 6 catalog have "Include in export", "Export Containing Keywords", and "Export Synonyms" properties set to false.
    I've reported the bug, but as it seems the same as described in KB 405074 (and more importantly, its fix works for formerly PSE catalogs as well!), I'm sure it will be fixed in the next update.

    Hi Brian,
    When I installed the trial for LR2 I was asked whether I wanted to upgrade my existing PSE6 catalog.
    Screenshot of this can be found here: http://dawsons.id.au/temp/pse6-to-lr2-catalog.png
    That's it. I haven't imported any keywords via any other method.
    Thanks,
    Matt
    PS I'm impressed with the level of Lightroom team involvement in these forums. I've been a PSE user for at least 5 years and have never received feedback from that team re posts/support calls/feature request/bug reports. I've been a LR user for about two weeks and I've already had Tom and yourself reply to my posts. You've got to be happy with that!

  • Keyword Sets Limited to just 9 Keywords

    Is there a way to assign more than 9 keywords to a Keyword Set?
    I'm a wildlife photographer and would like to use Keyword Sets for groupings of animals - eg Antelope Set, Reptile Set, Raptor Set - but all these sets would have more than 9 keywords. Breaking the sets into sub-sets would result in far too many Keyword Sets to be manageable and would also make naming the Keyword Sets a challenge.
    I've created hierarchies of keywords as a work-around, but its more cumbersome than using a Keyword Set.
    If Keyword Sets are limited to 9 keywords, then the functionality is fairly useless to me, so I'd like to understand why it was limited so tightly if anyone knows.

    Unfortunately Melissa, what that means is that when the keyword upgrade comes out, we'll all have to shelll out for another upgrade, when it should have been included this time around.
    Having only 9 keywords makes the tool VERY frustrating for me as a sports photographer to use.  For example, in Baseball, I have a set for BASEBALL, baseball offense, baseball defense, bench, and crowd.  The only set that I can batch apply on import is the generic BASEBALL, the others need applied to individual or groups of pictures.  (ie:  action and player information is specific to this photo)  The "Recent" set is completely useless, as it is still pulling up basketball keywords as "recent" that have not been used in months while ignoring keywords typed minutes or even seconds before.  A useful keyword set would hover at or above 20 keywords to choose from ... or at least take advantage of the rest of the column space.  (Now that would be a cool idea -- dynamically sized keyword list dependent on available height on this monitor!)
    In the meantime, does anyone know of a plugin that makes keywording easier?  I really don't want to shell out for PhotoMechanic just to get keywording right!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Keyword Set menu item

    I think the Keyword Set drop-down menu needs an item to ADD a new set or maybe just a + symbol as in the Keyword list.  It is not obvious to me that to create a new set you have to select an exsisting one then select Edit then save it under a new name.  I had to look it up.  In the drop down menu  you have the options to Delete or Rename presets.  Maybe the wording should be changed to Delete or Rename "Sets", instead of "Presets", since that is what they are called in the heading.
    I also think the Keyword set needs room for more than a maximum of 9 enteries.

    Well, that is not much to go by for us. You are probably doing something wrong before you before you do set_menu_item_property. How do you specify ID_menu?

  • What's the point of keyword sets?

    Hi all. My first post here, so watch out - Newbie Alert. I have scoured the forums but can't really find an answer.....
    What's the point of keyword sets?
    I'm a convert to Lightroom from ACDSee. I have been very pleased with Lightroom in general but I'm really struggling with Keywords and Keyword Sets.
    Understand where I'm coming from. I'm not sending my photos to Stock Libraries etc but I want to tag/categorise my photos so that I can find what I want quickly.
    How are people using  Keywords and Keyword Sets?
    A simple example - I have a "family" and some "friends".
    So I created (via the contorted mechanism) a couple of keyword sets. The Family set containes the names of me, my wife and our three sons. Great - no problems. However it turns out that we have more than nine friends. Now I know geeks are often short on real world friends but this seems to be a bit of a limitation.
    On the other hand It might be that I have misunderstood what sets are all about.
    I have found that it is possible to nest keywords. Perhaps that is a better mechanism?
    I have not found a really good tutorial on this - any pointers?
    In comparison to the rest of Lightroom the keyword and keyword set manipulation side seems to be a little clunky. Yes/No?
    Roy

    It's for applying  keywords which are frequently applied as alternatives, and makes use of the keyboard to make the assignment faster - hold down Alt/Opt and hit the number.
    So your family set would be an ideal set. You could set up alternative sets for certain groups of keywords you often assign to a shoot. So for example, I have a weddings one, with groom, bride, etc.

  • Limited Number of Keywords in Keyword Sets?

    Hi All,
    As far as I can tell, you can only include up to nine keywords in a keyword set. Is that true, or is there a way to add more to a given set? It would be nice to have more inclusive sets that could include lots of keywords.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Nope, it's nine. However, there is an automatically "recently used" set that can help a bit since it automatically shows the most recently used keywords.
    But I agree, I'd prefer to see larger sets.

  • 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.

  • Keyword Sets

    I am still assessing whether Lightroom will be the right program for me - I got fed up with Beta but now i really do need to add keywords to everything and CS2/3 is not very easy to use. I have Lightroom set up on my desktop (Power Mac G5) and I am quite impressed with it . The next test is putting it on my laptop to see how it works on a slower machine and when i am in "the field".
    I backed up keywords and imported them into the laptop (Powerbook G4 with 2gb RAM) but the keyword sets did not come through. Apart from keying them all in, and I have set up quite a few, how can i get them across?
    Frances

    I decided to delve into the Library as I knew the metadata sets had to be somewhere and I found them. If anyone else uses metadata sets to help with keywording and wants to transfer them or even just back them up and like me uses Mac OS 10.4 then go to your home folder Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom. You'll find all sorts of presets including any print templates you have set up, metadata presets etc.

  • Lightroom LR4 - very slow Keyword set updating

    Lightroom LR4 - very slow Keyword set updating   1] keyword an image with some keywords from a keyword set. Those keywiords are highlighted in keyword set  2] select next image  3] wait about 4 to 5 seconds for highlighted keywords to be non highlighted. ARRGHHH  the problem with this, is that yo ucannot use the keyword set to apply these keywords to the newly selected image until they are not highlighted any more.  yet another area where lightroom is Slooooooooooow!!

    Hi John, Did you solve the problem of slow update times associated with entering a keyword tag? I too am having this problem. During my most recent keyword entry it took 45 sec to add "Arizona, Hacienda Del Desierto, Lucy's Warbler, Spring " into the "Keyword Tags" box. During this time the box indicates "working...". The time to update has been getting progressively longer.
    I have LR4 4.4 and I'm running on a 3.1 GHz IMac OS X 10.8.4, 16 GB RAM.

  • Larger Keyword Sets

    I like the idea of keyword sets, since they help organize an otherwise unwieldy number (over 1000 in my case). But having them limited to only nine is limiting -- I can't even fit all my colors in a single set!
    So a request: please allow a larger number (unlimited, even?) of keywords to be placed in a keyword set.
    Thanks!

    Very likely. Keyword sets are a massively useful concept, though, and need to NOT be limited to nine. The keyboard shortcuts can always been applied to the "first nine", however they choose to define that.
