Keywords merger

I just saw that I have 3 keywords that are the same For example FAMILY, Family and family.
Under each keyword there are photos connected.
I want to merge all the photos in one keyword. HOw do I do that??
thanks

It's easier to do than do describe. Here is one method:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12399717&#12399717
The key point is that you merge keywords by giving them identical names while at different levels of your keyword hierarchy, and then merging them at the same level. You cannot give them the same name at the same level, and you cannot merge them unless they have the same name.
Keywording in Aperture is simply not as mature as other aspects of the program (but is still extremely useful and highly recommended).

Merge difficulties

I have created a tri-fold brochure in landscape format.
On one side in the center panel, I have inserted a text frame, and rotated it 90 degrees for insertion of addresses from my database file.
When I merge, there are 2-3 addresses overlapping in the text frame box. The are oriented correctly, just that there are 2-3 on each of the first 2 hundred something pages, and no addresses on the last 4 hundred somthing pages. Any suggestions? This is driving me bazoo.....

Welcome
If you search from the entry page of this AppleWorks forum with the keyword "merge", you will found a thread about a problem resembling to the one you describe:
Peggy, "Mail merge crawls and loses data . . .Why?" #38, 07:25pm Sep 23, 2005 CDT
It seems that something fails when the merge tool treats more than about 230 issues.
In the thread I described some workarounds which may apply to your problem.

Sometimes I have a new MODEL name coming in and I have to account for that and create a row in the table in that case.
Other times, all I have to do is INSERT new row in the table with new values.
Simple right?
Well, I was trying to use MERGE INTO but it is giving me problems...
This is what I did assuming I manually went in the table and added a new MODEL name and zeros for other columns before I did insertion...
#!/bin/bash
MODEL=$1
sqlplus -S username/password << EOF
whenever sqlerror exit 1;
set echo on
set verify off
INSERT INTO SEMANTIC.COUNT_STATISTICS(MODEL,NEW_COUNT,NEW_DATE,OLD_COUNT,OLD_DATE)
SELECT MODEL,
        SELECT COUNT(*)
        FROM TABLE(SEM_MATCH(
                ?s ?p ?o
         }',SEM_Models('$MODEL'),NULL,
        SEM_ALIASES(SEM_ALIAS('','http://VISION/DataSource/SEMANTIC#')),NULL))
    SYSDATE,
    NEW_COUNT,
    NEW_DATE
FROM SEMANTIC.COUNT_STATISTICS
WHERE MODEL = '$MODEL'
AND NEW_DATE = (
                select max(NEW_DATE)
                from SEMANTIC.COUNT_STATISTICS
                where MODEL = '$MODEL'
update SEMANTIC.COUNT_STATISTICS
set prnct_change =
   (NEW_COUNT-OLD_COUNT)/NULLIF(OLD_COUNT,0)*100
where model = '$MODEL'
AND NEW_DATE = (
                select max(NEW_DATE)
                from SEMANTIC.COUNT_STATISTICS
                where MODEL = '$MODEL'
COMMIT;
exit;
EOF
Now I added MERGE in front of INSERT so it checks if the MODEL name doesn't exist-it creates it:
MERGE INTO SEMANTIC.COUNT_STATISTICS s
USING (SELECT '${MODEL}' AS MODEL, 0 AS NEW_COUNT, SYSDATE AS NEW_DATE,
0 AS OLD_COUNT, SYSDATE AS OLD_DATE FROM dual) t
on (s.MODEL = t.MODEL)
when not matched then
INSERT (s.MODEL, s.NEW_COUNT, s.NEW_DATE, s.OLD_COUNT, s.OLD_DATE)
VALUES (t.MODEL, t.NEW_COUNT, t.NEW_DATE, t.OLD_COUNT, t.OLD_DATE);
My code combined...
#!/bin/bash

sqlplus -S username/password << EOF
whenever sqlerror exit 1;
set echo on
set verify off
MERGE INTO SEMANTIC.COUNT_STATISTICS s

exit;

    SELECT count(MODEL)

    exit;
modelcount=$(model_exists $1)

    sqlplus -S username/password << EOF

22-AUG-13
(null)
MODELNAME
0

(null)
This is not what I want. I want to create a new row if it doesn't exist and then update that same one for that day. But tomorrow it should INSERT a new one for that same MODEL name.
Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Hi,
MODEL is an Oracle keyword, so it causes confusion to have a column named MODEL. Errors like "Missing Keyword" can occur when Oracle thinks you're talking about the MODEL clause, rather than the column.
The best solution is not to use Oracle keywords (as found in v$reserverd words) for you own column names, or other identifiers. MODEL_NAME and MODEL_ID are good names for columns
If you really must use that column name, qualify it with the table name, and/or put the column name in double-quotes (case-sensitive), e.g.
count_statistics."MODEL"

Have PSE 9 and wish to merge duplicated categories, sub-categories and keywords etc?

Have PSE 9 and over the years have found have duplicated categories and subcategories and wish to know the best way to Merge and organise them. Also have a huge list of 'Imported Keywords' and not sure how they are formed and how to mege them with the existing categories, sub-categories etc?
Thanks

The 'imported keywords' category is created when you import picture files which already have been keyworded in PSE (or LR or PS...). When you import you are prompted to keep the keywords. If they don't belong to a category of your present catalog, the keywords will be added there.
Merging categories, sub-categories and keywords:
This is not difficult, but can be time consuming.
- Select a keyword in the 'imported category'
- Right click and select 'edit'
- in the dialog, replace the category or sub-category by the correct one
In that way, you can 'move' a keyword to the correct parent.
If you have duplicates or near duplicates, such as a correct and an incorrect spelling, you have to:
- select all items with the wrong keyword
- assign all selected items the right keyword
- select the now luseless keyword in the keyword panel and delete it.

Merge Keywords

I haven't found a solution to this on any LR forums. I have many duplicate keywords and everytime I send images out for keywording I get more duplicates. In other words when importing newly keyworded images a word like "infant" gets a new place in the hierarchy even though "infant" is already in the LR hierarchy under "baby" and AGE. So now I have two "infant"s. Except that over time and imports I eventually have many "infant"s. I don't want any more infants, in fact I got that fixed but I digress.
I need a way to merge duplicate keywords, in the worst way. LR3 is faster than LR2 at selecting all images tagged with "infant" and tagging the correct "infant" then deleting the "infant" that is outside the desired hierarchy but with maybe 100's or thousands of duplicates it would be much better to have a software based way of merging these keywords. Aperture does it but then I would have to use aperture and don't want to for many reasons.
Is there even a way to do this in some other software associated with the xmp files and replacing the current xmp files when complete? I have some 60,000 images in my library so it is no small feat to do this once and do it right.
Thanks for any clues.

There seems to be a bug in the handling of keywords when writing/reading metadata to files.
I use the program Geosetter to include GPS-Information in my images.
Let's say my image has the keyword "cats" and cats is part of this hierarchy:
animals
mammals
cats
My usual workflow is:
1. Save metadata to file in LR
2. Write the GPS-Information to the file in Geosetter
3. Read metadate from file in LR
Result in LR2: the image has GPS-Information and nothing has changed in the keywords ("cats").
Result in LR3 full: the image has GPS-Information and it has two flat new keywords ("animals", "mammals" in addition to "cats").

Can we use where clause in Update on Merge statement?

Hi All,
I tried to execute the following Merge Query:
When this query is executed without ‘Where clause’ in Update statement its working fine. When executed with ‘Where clause’ it throwing the following error:
ORA-00905: missing keyword.
Following is the sample query which I tried to execute:
MERGE INTO TABLE_NAME
USING (SELECT COLUMN FORM TABLES)
ON (CONDITION)

INSERT VALUES;
Can some one help on this?
Thanks in advance.

What is the difference between import and merge?

When setting up my wife's new account on my son's MBP, I did not migrate all of her photos as they were in 2 or 3 separate iPhoto Libraries. I researched this forum and found the best way to merge all of her libraries is to buy iPLM. According to a post by Terence Devlin, if I don't use iPLM, thumbnails, previous editing, keywords, etc., will not be imported. OK, but if we only want the originals photos and there was no editing or ratings or keywords, can't we just use the "Import" feature?
According to Apple's instructions, the way to import one library is to first switch iPhoto to open using that library (hold down the option key when opeining iPhoto and selecting that Library). Select your photo's, and the go to File>Export. Then quit iPhoto and switch to the new iPhoto Library and go to File>Import and select the file that was made during the Export. I suspect this is the approved method if you are not concerned with importing the edited photo's, keywords, etc. Is this correct?
I recognize from LarryHN's posts why you can no longer just drag and drop the files using the Finder, but if we don't use iPLM, I wanted to make sure I use the correct method to combine Libraries.
BTW, speaking of using the Finder, do any of you remember the Multi-Finder?

Yes that's correct. Remember you are not importing libraries or merging them or combining. You're exporting from one and then importing those exports to the other. That's getting the photos from one to the Finder. Then importing them.

How can I merge two iPhoto libraries stored on an external drive?

Today I was in a One-to-One at the Apple Store. I want to merge two i-Photo libraries into one. One library is on my Air, the other is on my iMac. Both libraries have been moved to an external drive. When I try to move one onto the other, they won't go. Yet I am certain that while at the store today, the person there started to merge them. He did not need the library manager software in order to do so. We stopped the merge in order to move on to another issue. Now that I am home, I can't get the libraries to merge. What am I failing to do? Thanks!

The only way to merge two libraryies is to use iPhoto Library Manager which will merge two libraries and keep keywords, titles, faces, places, and other metadata intact.
If one imports one library into another library every image file in the first library, originals, thumbnails, face files, etc, get imported as an original photo. You will end up with a total mess. DO NOT IMPORT ONE LIBRARY INTO ANOTHER LIBRARY!
If you have backup copies of your libraries get them back and use iPhoto Library Manager to merge them.

How can I delete topic index keywords that are no longer associated with a topic?

I am trying to clean up the index of an older Robohelp project before it becomes part of a merged webhelp project. I do not want to include any of its index keywords or topic keywords. I've managed to remove most of them, but I have a group of troublesome entries that refuse to go away. In fact, they cause RH8 to crash. I am running Windows XP.
Looking at the code in Visual Studio, it appears that an instruction is pointing to field which contains "zero". (see image below)
I have tried creating a new index and deleting the old index, but RH just keeps adding these topic keywords (in bold typeface) to the new index. If the keywords are no longer associated with a topic, where is RH storing these disassociated keywords? If I open the .hhk, it is empty.

Not sure why RH crashed when deleting a portion of the topic keywords manuall
y from the index pane, but I was finally able to remove them with the Remove Unused Keywords tool. Duh! Thanks anyway!

Merging multiple libraries

On my C drive under Music- Itunes, I have multiple Itunes libraries. There are some duplicates (don't get me started on that !). There are regular music libraries and xml libraries. How do I consolidate them all into one, so that when I un-install the update and reinstall 10.7 I can just have one library to transfer over?
Thanks!

Yes there are two ways. The first, with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager, will retain the rolls, albums, keywords, etc. of the library that's being merged into the primary library.
The other method is described by Brie Fly ,here. What you'll end up with is your second library in your primary library as a single roll. You'll have to then reorganize them into new rolls, albums, etc. But it will not bring in the thumbnail files as regular image files as other methods of importing into a library.

Possible to export keywords for images in a catalog?

I have a fairly large catalog with scanned images (several thousands of images). The images have a number of keywords each and many have descriptions and titles. From this, I would like to create some sort of web site where this information is preserved. The web that I'm envisioning should list all the keywords that occurs in the catalog, and if you click on a keyword it should show all images tagged with the keyword.
However, with Lightroom 1.2 it doesn't seem to be possible to have the keywords included in the web gallery. Or am I wrong? Is it possible somehow?
My next way of attacking this problem was to use the xmp sidecar files. Since the keywords are stored in the sidecar xmp file, I thought that I would be able to retrieve the keywords from the xmp-file with the help of some scripts and XSLT. Yes, a little extra work involved of course, but still doable. Unfortunately, since I've got TIFF files and not RAW files, the xmp data is embedded in the TIFF file and not written in the sidecar xmp file. Is it possible to have the xmp data written to the sidecar file also for TIFF images?
Yes, it should be possible to extract the xmp data from the TIFF files, merge all this data into a big xml file and then process that with an XSLT script, but I would rather avoid poking inside the TIFF file, if at all possible.
If I can just get some sort of mapping between all images and the keywords, preferably in an xml format (html or plain text would also do) I should be able to build the web myself.
Any advice on how I can achieve this?

yes it is possible to do this, but it is a bit complicated. Under the share menu choose export media. In the dialog that appears you can choose audio only. There are options for AAC, AIFF etc. The problem is that it will export all of the audio from your project so if you want only audio from a particular clip to be exported you need to create a new project and then copy/paste the clip into the new project. You can then export that audio as described above. An alternative is to create a new empty compound clip in the browser and open it in a timeline and copy/paste your clip into it. You can then export audio only as above. Once you have edited the audio, import it into FCPX and add as attached clip to the original clip. You can either drag the volume of the original audio down so it is not audible or detach the original audio and delete it. Not as simple as in previous versions of FCP but do-able.

Problem with index in merged projects

Dear Sir,
I have a problem with index in the master project, I can only
view the master project index keywords under the index tab. My
master project contains 2 topics besides the other sub projects. I
have created index for all sub projects indvidually and at the end
I created the master project index.
I made sure that the 'Binary Index' flag is ticked before
compilation and stil the problem is on, do somebody know what could
be the problem.

Hi,
Two points here.
Firstly, you can duplicate SSL's. (Right click on an SSL in
the projects sub-directory and select the duplicate layout option.
This will give you a copy of the original SSL).
I tend to have two SSL's - one is local and I use that every
time I test compile the project when I'm working on it.
The other is set to output to the master project. I use that
once I'm happy with the sub-project and start working with the
master project.
Second point is to be aware of how RoboHelp treats the
imported/merged .chm files from the sub projects.
It imports them into the main project master directory - then
when the master project is compiled it puts a copy of them into the
master project SSL. However, if you re-compile it doesn't overwrite
the files that are already in the master project SSL directory.
This is why you have to be aware of where the sub project
.chm files are going - you need to make sure that if you revise the
sub projects, a fresh copy of the .chm files ends up in the output
SSL directory of the master project.

Export and Import a Keyword List

Yesterday I exported the keyword list and then acted on the suggestion from LightroomSecrets site to 'organize' while it is in text format. This went very well using a text editor.
The IMPORT doesn't overwrite the existing list. It merges INTO the list.
So now I'm still scrolling up and down collecting the keywords that are stand alone to undo and then put a checkmark beside the subkey in a category. I would have been wiser to have reorganized a few and repeated the export,import <grin>
If keywording is promoted as such an important feature and a main item for management in Lightroom then, it would seem to me that the 'LIST' itself could have been designed in a more efficient manner...Such as : a right click menu...or a browse and choice to move to...
I suppose the architects of this list assumed users would have their keywording planned out ahead of time. Never assume <grin> I've only now (V1 to V3.4.1) got my head around the category concept so much reorganization required. Scroll up and down and zoom past the category wanted....not an exercise I can stay with for long periods of time <LOL!>

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
