Keywords and Quick Group

I did some hunting to find this answer but did not find what I was looking for so sorry if this is a repeat.
When adding keywords to the group they are automatically put into the Quick Group and assigned a short cut. I'd rather some of them be in the regular keyword box. How to you delete the shortcut assignment? I've clicked on "edit key words", then clicked on "shortcut". Once it highlights the shortcut letter I hit delete, but it won't delete a shortcut. I've tried dragging the keyword in quick group to the regular group and that doesn't work either.
How do you move a work from the Quick Group, delete the shortcut and have it in the regular group? And when adding a keyword how do you get it to go in the regular group and not assigned a shortcut?
Thanks,
Sue

I'm not getting anywhere. I have the edit keyword window up. Keywords are on the left and the shortcut column is on the right. When I click on the shortcut button (at the bottom of the screen) it highlights the keyword shortcut for that particular word. If I hit the delete key it takes the shortcut out, but as soon as I hit OK, it comes back. I find no way to eliminate a shortcut letter assignment. If I click on the "-" button it is going to remove that keyword and take if off of the photos it was assigned to.
It can't be that difficult but I'm not getting anywhere.

Keywords and Quick Group Problem

I recently installed iLife 09. I now can't drag keywords out of the Quick Group window into the Keywords window. But the reverse does work. I was able to freely move keywords back and forth between these 2 windows using the last version of iPhoto (in iLife 08).

This is an issue introduced with version 09. As of now there is no solution.

How to remove a keyword from a group of photos

I want to remove a keyword from a group of photos. They all have the same keyword attached, of course. When I right-click keyword and choose 'Remove keyword from selected photos' it removes the keyword from the most-selected photo ONLY, not from all photos that are selected. I have to remove the keyword from each photo one at a time.
I'm running LR 5.6 on a Mac.
Thanks for any assistance.

Perhaps not the most intuitive, but that's how I do it..
Free tip: to assign to all, remove the '*' (asterisk).

Updating/sharing keywords and metadata in Lightroom 4

I will be using an intern to help add keywords & metadata to an extremely large group of photos in Lightroom 4.
The intern will have their own workstation so we'll be passing files back and forth.
I need to add their work to mine, keeping all of the keyword/metadata work tied to the virtual photos which already have some work done to them (some keywords, metatdata and photo enhancements already in place on some photos).
step-by-step appreciated
What is the best way to do this?
I'm still learning LR myself.
suggestions welcomed!
thank you

Lightroom is not a multi-user application, and so you can, via tedious manipulation of files, achieve the result you want, but I should also note that make one mistake, and you potentially have a real mess on your hands.
The best solution (in my opinion) is to put the catalog file and all photos on a server that you can both access. The drawback to doing this is that only one person can be working with a specific Lightroom catalog at a time. And given my usual advice to use only one catalog, this may not meet your needs.
If that's not a good solution, then the intern can create her own temporary catalog of the portion of the photos to be worked on today, add keywords and other metadata, and then pass the catalog file to you to merge with your main catalog using the command File->Import from another catalog.
As another alternative, if the only task the intern will carry out is adding keywords and other metadata, there are many freeware solutions that your intern can use for this, and then when she is done in a particular folder, you can in Lightroom select all the photos in that folder, and then read the metadata from the photo files. For Windows, two such freeware programs are GeoSetter and ExifToolGUI.

Script to Export and Import Keywords and Metadata

I have a requirement to mass upload and download keywords and various metadata fields (i.e. File Name, Date Created, City, Country, Document, Title, etc.) into an external database from the Adobe Bridge. Ideally it would be compatible to .txt, .csv, etc type of database format. Currently I have to accomplish this task one at a time. I have an immediate need to upload 1000 plus pictures and various text fields into my website to share with others and be able to sell my pictures online.
My immediate is for exporting the metadata and keywords.
Does anyone know of a script that is aavailable?
Arnold

John,
Thanks for your quick response. Below is the script I just modified this morning. When looking in the keyword field, it returns the word "undefined" for all records.
I tried that yesterday and it didn't work. When looking at the Advance file info on Adobe Bridge I see the below format which had 2 levels. All the others I used only had one. Since I am not a programmer, I need help on that part of the script.
==========================
EXIF Properties (exif,http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/)
- exif:Flash
- exif:Fired: True

Any luck on determining how to obtain file size.
Again thank you so much for supporting me on my project,

Importing photos from ZoomBrowser into iPhoto without losing keywords and star ratings

I have been using Canon's ZoomBrowser EX on my Windows Vista laptop. I have just bought a MacBook Air running Lion. I would like to import all of my photos to iPhoto, but when I do this I lose all of the keywords and star ratings I have associated with my many photos. Is there any way to import the photos into iPhoto while retaining the keywords and star ratings so that I can use them in iPhoto? Doing this manually would be impractical due to the large number of photos involved.
Thanks.
- Charlie

Keywords:
Iphoto can certainly import them if they are written to the correct fields of the standard metadata. They key question is can your Windows app write them to the files?
Ratings
There's no real way to share ratings via standard metadata, but if you can write the keywods, then you can quickly tag the pics with simple keywords (1star, 2star) and when imported to iPhoto recreate your rating system.
So, the question is really about your existing software and what it can do.

Adding keywords and phrases for high search engine hits

I'm new to iWeb and most things seem to be working. I have one question and one problem, hopefully you guys can help out.
Question: how do I add html code that is not visible on the page but that will help Google and other search engines find my page using keywords, phrases, etc.? Please assume I know very little about this and need the holding hand explanation.
Problem: I have a media file portion on my website that displays pictures (working very well) and one that is supposed to show a movie (not working at all). The movie was made with iMovie and has an .m4v extension. When you click on the link for the movie it shows a blank screen on Firefox and a Quicktime logo with a big question mark on Safari. I'm attempting to view the website on my Mac with the latest Quicktime software on it but it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Some additional info: the hosting provider is 1and1.com and I have a Windows server package (unfortunately). Also, if I publish the site to a folder the movie area works flawlessly, it just does not work on the hosted site.
Thanks!!

You don't need to do post publication manual editing of your site to add keywords and other metadata. You can use the freeiWeb SEO Tool. If you're publishing to MobileMe you can add them after publication. If you're publishing to a commercial hosting server you'll need to publish to a folder on the desktop, run SEO and then use a 3rd party ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload your site.
If you have to republish SEO remembers what you added and can quickly add them again before uploading.

Cisco Prime 4.2, Inventory group management and reports group

Hi
I have created some groups under Inventory > Group Management > Device. This works fine.
Then I want to create a monthly report for Reports > Performance > Device > Availability. Here I guessed I would find my groups created under inventory.
But I can se the groups, one group is duplicated, but all groups are empty. Under all devices, I can only see 6 og th devices but it should have been 122. Under the different subnet groups, there's no devices.
Should'nt I've seen the groups created under inventory when I want to make a report? Under the device list for quick report.
Br
Geir

Hm.... strange I've been looking around under Report, and looked at Inventory and Performance reports.
Inventory > Detailed Device shows all the devices and my groups.
Performance > Device > Availability show just 6 out of my 122 devices.
Under Inventory > Group Managment > Device I have a group called Datasenter.
Under Performance > Device > Availability I can see 2 of these groups, but their both empty.
When i delete this group, one of them dissapeer from Under performance. WHen I create it again, it comes back but empty.
Something must be corrupt.

WSFC Cluster and Availability Group Alert Variables

Is there a way to include the SQL instance name and/or the server name(s) in the alert for Cluster offline and Availability Group offline alerts?
Usually the Full Path Name contains the server name, but for these alerts the server name is nowhere to be found. The WSFC Cluster offline and Availability Group offline alerts (there could be others) only show the Cluster or Availability Group name
(For Full Path Name and Source). There's no info in the alert about the SQL instance name or the server(s) associated with the Cluster/Availability Group. This isn't very helpful and doesn't make the alert very useful if you have a lot of clusters and availability
groups that you manage. Sure, you can get the info from the Diagram View, but that means you have to login to the console, find the alert and open another view...not very useful if you need relevant data quickly to try to resolve the issue.

Hi Yan,
Thanks for the link, but none of those actually supply the name of the server of the Cluster or Availability group that generated the error. I thought the Full Name might work, but it doesn't. I also tried the Windows Computer host under the General section
($Target/Host/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/NetworkName$), and that just generates an error when you
try to save the Channel (it says it failed to verify module reference). The alerts are kind of useless unless we can identify the servers. Why? Well, we have some staging servers and some production servers that have Clusters and Availability groups that have
the same name, so when an alert gets generated there's no way to tell which Cluster or Availability group it relates to.
Anyone have a way to include the server info in the Cluster and Availability group alerts?

Exporting keywords and comments?

Is there a way to export keywords, or comments?
Basically my iPhoto library is getting too big and running slow, so what I want to do is move all of the "older" photos onto an external drive and be able to find the pics using a spotlight search, but not keeping them in iPhoto.
Thanks,
"D"

Dana:
Spotlight can find keyworded images in an iPhoto library located on an external HD. One way to do what you want is what Lori suggested, copy your library to the external, open it and delete those photos you plan on keeping on the boot drive library. Then open your boot drive library and delete those that are in the external drive library. To make it easier you can create a new keyword for those destined to the external drive.
The paid version of iPhoto Library Manager will let you easily move between your multiple libraries and copy single or multiple files from one to another while keeping the keywords and other information intact. iPhoto Buddy is another application that lets you quickly change libraries but does not have the file copy capability. For best results turn off ownership on the external drive by selecting it, typing Command-I and then find the ownership part of the Info window where you can click on the "ignore ownership" checkbox.

What happened to Photoshop CC's keyword and info memory?

Since a very early version of Photoshop, when using the File Info section, (Document Title, Description, Keywords... pretty much every field), photoshop would remember generally speaking the last 20 entries in each field. This made it quite quick to add data.
Since I upgraded to Photoshop CC 2014 (from the earlier version of Photoshop CC), this remembering feature is completely gone.
Is there an easy way to bring this back?
I am running photoshop on OSX (latest version).

It's been a few days there, so just wondering if anyone has an answer or if my question wasn't clear enough. My workload has increased enormously since I don't have my remembered keywords and fields.

Keywords and comments from Canon Zoom Browser EX

My digital camera is a Canon Power Shot S2 IS. Before buying PS Elements 6, I organized photos using the Canon-supplied software, Zoom Browser EX. Many of the photos have keywords and comments using the Zoom Browser formats.
Is it possible to get these keywords and comments attached to the photos once they are in PS Elements 6? Have any of you folks successfully done this? I've looked in the usual help locations, but so far I have not been able to do this. PhotoShop Elements does not seem to know how to look into the Zoombrowser metadata or thumbnail files that go with the Jpeg picture files in each folder.
I use Windows XP.

Dennis,
A quick Web search finds other people asking the same question. The various postings suggest that the Canon Zoombrowser probably stores keywords and captions in a properietary format, rather than in the industry standard metadata sections of the photos themselves (the "EXIF" data) that most other programs, including PSE 6, use. So you may be out of luck.
For example, see this Lightroom thread on the same topic:

Lightroom 2, Keywording and searching

I am not sure if I am missing a step... but when I started updating keywords some older photos. I placed in Zoo Atlanta, Zoo, and Apes. I synched the keywords and tried to use the search feature. TEXT - ANY SEARCHABLE FIELD - CONTAINS ALL and then I would put in the words I just updated.
At any rate.... no matter what I do, I cannot get the search to come up with this set of pictures.
Please fill me in if I am missing something here.
Also.... I did go to Metadata, selected this group of Zoo photos and clicked on Save Metadata to File. Lastly, I did optimize the database to see if that would help.

Ian,
Thanks... that seemed to work. I don't recall in 1.4 or earlier that you needed to select All Photographs under Catalog to search this way.. but it appears that if you are in a year or month / year.. it will only check that folder.
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks for your help.

How do you use keywords and info?

I'm new to iphoto and wondered what keywords and info are intended for.
How do other people use them?
Thanks

I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 25k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

How to restrict Sales office and Sales Group.

Hi All,
I want to restrict the users from changing the sales office and sales group in the sales order.
Is there any standard way to achieve this or do we need to do with User exit??
Please help.
Thanks,
Pavan.

hi
there is no standard settings for estrict the users from changing the sales office and sales group in the sales order
so you have to write the logic in userexit
DATA: lt_user_list   TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tvarvc,
       lw_user_list   TYPE tvarvc,
       lr_user        TYPE RANGE OF syuname,
       lw_user        LIKE LINE OF lr_user.
IF screen-name EQ ' VBAK-VKBUR' and   VBAK-VKGRP.
* IF sy-tcode EQ 'VA02'.
**Get list of users who are allowed to change SO - only they can change payment terms
     SELECT *
       FROM tvarvc
       INTO TABLE lt_user_list
      WHERE name = 'ZSD_VA02_ALLOWED'
        AND type = 'S'.
     IF sy-subrc = 0.
       LOOP AT lt_user_list INTO lw_user_list.
         lw_user-sign = lw_user_list-sign.
         lw_user-option = lw_user_list-opti.
         lw_user-low    = lw_user_list-low.
         lw_user-high   = lw_user_list-high.
         APPEND lw_user TO lr_user.
         CLEAR lw_user.
       ENDLOOP.
**    If user is not in the users listed for change allowed
       IF sy-uname NOT IN lr_user.
         screen-input = 0.
       ELSE.
         screen-input = 1.
       ENDIF.
     ENDIF.
   ENDIF.

go to STVARV t code here you check the NAME and give the user ids who need to change
