Keyword synonyms created as new keywords on import

I just exported a large batch of images sized for submission to Alamy. I had the images that were created by the export, imported back into Lightroom.
The problem. All the keyword synonyms that were exported in the images, created new stand alone keywords in the keyword list - bad.
I had all my keywords nicely organized into 12 neat groups. Now I have a couple of hundred top level keywords because of the synonyms.
Can this be prevented?
thanks

When a keyword is exported in an image, its synonyms are also exported by default. Sincere there is no industry standard governing synonyms, LR exports them as top-level keywords. And then when you reimport the exported image, those top-level keywords get added to your catalog.
You can stop the synonyms from being exported by right-clicking their containing keyword in the Keyword List pane, selecting Edit Keyword Tag, and unchecking Export Synonyms. Unfortunately, you'll have to do that with each keyword that contains synonyms -- there is no batch editing of keywords.

Trouble Creating a New Directory to Import into

I just upgraded to Lightroom 5 today and installed the update to 5.2 on Windows 7 64 bit. I have run into a problem I never had before. In the import module I want to create a new directory to import into. I go through the same steps I did in Lightroom 4, but when I am done, the directory does not show up on the list. I can find it in Windows Explorer, but not Lightroom. If I leave the import module and then return, the directory shows up in the Lightroom list of directories. I have tried this twice with the same result both times. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a Fix?

Thanks that works. I found that even though the new directory did not show in the Import list of directories when I created it usind the right-click method as I did in LR4, LR5 is in fact creating it and will import to it. Another odd thing is when I create the directory using the right-click, Windows Explorer method, the directory list in the Import module flickers like it is adding the new directory. However, the new directory cannot be seen.

Can't create a new record via Import using Integration ID

I have custom object records (+Assets+) that includes data attributes from another custom object (+Acme Products+ - not the same as CRMOD Products object). I would like to create new Asset records that pulls data in from the Acme Products object via the Import process, but I cannot always use the "Acme Products: External Unique ID" field to connect the data because Products don't always get created externally, most are created directly in the user interface. I'd like to use the "Acme Products:Integration ID", but that field doesn't appear when I'm mapping the fields on Step 3. Is there another way to connect the data?

You could use web services. Post this question on the CRM On Demand Integration Development Forum.

Is there a way to create new keywords that are NOT subcategories of other keywords in PSE Organizer?

I would like to create a new keyword in the Organizer that is not a subcategory of OTHER.
Specifically I would like to create the keyword PETS, which could in turn have subcategories of different pets.
Currently the only way I can do this is to create PETS as a subcategory of OTHER which I would prefer not to do.
If this can be done, please advise me (in detail) how this can be done.
I am using PSE13 with Windows 8.1 (64-bit) as my OS.
Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

Hi,
Have you tried selecting New Category from the drop down list?

IPhoto 8 and Make New Keywords

Folks;
I don't yet have iPhoto '08. I was wondering if it has support for:
...make new keyword name "XYZ"
Can anyone verify this?
It baffles me why this feature has been missing for so long!
Steve

Keywords are in the current (iLife '08) dictionary, and I vaguely recall it being in older versions, too.
Maybe you don't know how to access them.
Since photos may have multiple keywords, and each keyword has a name and a value, you can't just 'set keyword'. Keywords are elements of a photo, not a property.
Consequently you manipulate them using something like:
Get:
tell application "iPhoto"
get every keyword of photo 1
end tell
Set:
tell application "iPhoto"
tell photo 1
make new keyword at end of keywords with properties {name: "my new keyword"}
end tell
end tell
in other words, to create a new keyword you have to be specific, both about where to create it (at the end of the list of keywords associated with the current photo or album) and what data it should have.

Bridge freezes after adding a new keyword & wont allow the keywords to work

when I am in bridge and working away - ill create a new keyword -so select new keyword, type in the name and then hit enter etc... when I go the new keyword which I have just created - it wont allow me to check the box (so tick it & allocate it to an image OR any image) - I must re-start bridge and then it works...
is anyone else having this issue?
im using Bridge CS 3 - 2.1.1.9
thanks in advance!
amy

Yes, where you click is critical, and it varies from word to word sometimes, seems to be a little to right of where you expect.
According the the knowledgebase, compacting cache gets rid of files that are not associated with anything anymore.
CS2 used all 3 (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) keys, but CS3 and 4 can use just the Ctrl key to reset preferences.

Can you create a new comp from a clip after you already have one in your project?

I know if you create a new project and import a clip, then drag that clip down to the timeline panel, After Effects will create a new composition based off of the specs of the clip, which is exactly as long as the clip. Is there a way to do this after you have already created one composition in your project?
I've tried it and it just wants to add the clip to an already opened composition or if you close all the compositions, it wants to add it to the render queue.

> I know if you create a new project and import a clip, then drag that

Actually, that's not quite right. To create a new composition with settings that match those of the footage item, you drag the footage item to the Create A New Compsotion button at the bottom of the Project panel. See "Create a composition".
If you drag a footage item from the Project panel to the Timeline panel for an already existing composition, then you are telling After Effects to create a new layer based on that footage item inside the existing composition.
If you drag a footage item to the Render Queue panel, then After Effects creates a new composition from the footage item and immediately adds that composition to the render queue.

Can't create a new SQL Azure Standard Tier db

I'm having an issue creating a new sql azure standard tier db. Here's the basic steps I've done to migrate a web tier db.
Register for the sql preview programme
https://account.windowsazure.com/PreviewFeatures
Perform a db export to blob storage
use the + (new) button to create a new SQL db
select the import option
browser to your saved export
hopefully see the new tiers as options in dialog.
The new tiers require a separate server to web. Can create this from the import dialog
I have 2 independent azure accounts, the above process worked for my test account but for the live account where I was also experimenting after success on the test account I hit an issue. I request to create a new server whilst importing. This step seems
to work but then the actual import fails with this msg
"Error encountered during the service operation.
Could not import package.
Error SQL72014: .Net SqlClient Data Provider: Msg 40823, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid value provided for parameter EDITION. Please provide a value that is valid on server version 1.0.
Error SQL72045: Script execution error. The executed script:
CREATE DATABASE [$(DatabaseName)] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
(EDITION = 'Standard', MAXSIZE = 1 GB)"
Tried a couple of times but no joy. Using the portal I can browse to the new sql server and it looks okay other than the list of ENABLED
RESERVATION SIZES ONLY HAS P1, P2, P3 I'm requesting a standard (s1) db not premium (P1, P2, P3). On my test server I see in this list also S1,
S2. As you can see in the error message I'm requesting Edition = Standard. I get the feeling the newly created server is not accepting standard tier dbs?
Now the server is created if I try an import I see the server in the list of available servers but when I select a tier of Basic or Standard the new server is grayed out, not so if I select Premium or the older Web or Business? Interestingly my current live
sql server shows up as supporting the new premium?
Thanks
Wayne

Best Practice for Creating a New WebHelp Project from an Existing One

I'm currently working in WebHelp Pro (RH version is 9.0.2.271).
I have a WebHelp project which currently supports the 2012 version of one of our projects. What I needed to do was to create a separate 2013 project, using the 2012 files as the starting point. I couldn't find a way in RH to create a new project by importing an existing WebHelp project, so I copied the 2012 files to a new directory, opened up the project, and renamed it.
What prompts this question is that following this exercise, all seemed well, for a time. However, I have recently had to create new topics in the 2012 version. However, when I imported these topics to the 2013 project and compiled, they vanished--although the htm files still appear in the appropriate 2013 file folder (when viewed with Windows Explorer).
After reading some forum postings, I thought that I might have corrupted my database by improperly creating the new project--but if what I did is the wrong way to go about it, I'm not sure what the correct way is. I will be grateful for any suggestions.

The easy way to do this is create a copy using Windows Explorer.
Open the project and go to File > Rename.
Then you have your 2013 ready made project.

Why do keyword synonyms get imported as separate keywords?

Hello, and sorry if this question has been asked before (it's my first time in the forums, and I find them rather user-unfriendly).
I'm currently trying to understand keywords & keyword hierarchies.
I have successfully created several keywords that include sub-keywords and synonyms, for example, the top keyword "Location" includes the sub-keyword "Europe", and for that I have entered the synonym "Europa" (German translation for "Europe").
Now, I apply the keyword "Europe" to an image, export the image, and add the exported image to my catalog. And now Lightroom automatically adds "Europa" as a separate keyword to my keyword list. This defeats the whole purpose of keyword hierarchies, since my keyword list will soon be cluttered again, and all the help sites I've browsed so far speak of uncluttered keyword lists.
So, my suspicion is that I'm doing something wrong. But I am lost... can anybody help?
I have checked the option "Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy" when exporting - I thought this would mean that my exported image will contain the same keyword hierarchy and thus there shouldn't be any new keywords added to my list when adding that exported file to my catalog. But it doesn't seem to work...
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

Cornelia-I wrote:
Come on, Brett,
That is no solution to Simone's problems!
She wants the full LR capability of keyword hierarchies plus synonyms on any level. This should work if you export out of LR and back in. Especially if you share such a photo with a different person.
Does your answer mean that LR is incapable of doing that? That the feature of synonyms just does not work, because LR cannot mark an exported keyword as synonym of another?
Leaving aside the awkward question of WHY one would immediately re-import an exported image - synonyms are intended to work within a given Catalog despite not being present as actual keywords on an image.
So it is not necessary to physically include synonyms either outgoing or incoming, in order for these to operate correctly while you are in the Catalog concerned. Just like Collections, synonyms and keyword nesting are properties of a Catalog; not of an image.
Any image which has a particular real keyword, "hooks into" any associated synonym behaviour automatically - and any hierarchy behaviour also.
Including these "virtual" keywords as REAL keywords on export, means that they ACt as real keywords. For example, these are no longer synonyms, they are now full keywords in their own right - so they will now show in the keywords list.
If you don't require synonyms or implied-hierarchy to be seen OUTSIDE Lightroom then - simply - don't include this in your output.
If you want to pass images on to someone else in a way that maintains all the same full Catalog functions that you have locally; you can select them and Export as Catalog. Or you can provide them with a template Catalog which already contains this structure. When they import your new image with its actual keywords, all the related virtual synonyms and hierarchy will already be there, for them to hook into.

Creating newinstance() vs new keyword

Hi guys
I have 2 questions
1) i have been wondering about the different ways to instantiate an class, what the main difeerence between using a new keyword and newInstance() to instantiate an object, in what cases we use newInstance() or there any other ways to instantiate class apart from the above 2
2) also what is private constuctor, what is main purpose, when do we use that in our program
good answers are appreciated

For question number2:
You have the private constructor if you want to be
sure you control how many objects are created.That's certainly not the only reason, and is not a reason in-and-of-itself.
However, I'm not going to regurgitate the reasons - do some research on the net for "Java private constructor"

How can I copy keyword list to a new library

I'm a keyword fanatic. Keywords are my most favorite feature of the product. It's the reason I use iPhoto in the first place. I recently created a new iPhoto v6 library and can see that the keyword list did not get migrated. Is there a way to do this? Can I export and import the keyword list? Thanks.

gtigan
Keywords are kept in the main database file and when you create a new library, you create a new database.
The only way I can think of to what you want is to select a single pic and give it ALL the keywords, then use iPhoto Library Manager to move that pic from the old library to the new one. iplm is the only way to move pics and metadata between libraries while using v6. (hmm, another reason to upgrade.)
And, as I mentioned in my other post, if you're a "keyword fanatic" then check out Keyword Manager
