Library Keyword Bug?

I am not sure if this is a bug, and if it is not, then I suppose this will be a feature request.
Background: I am using Lightroom 1.3.1 on a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz on OS X 10.5.1 with 4GB of RAM.
Expectation: When in the Library Module, I'd like to be able to select multiple files from the thumbnail bar at the bottom, type in applicable keywords and then save them to all of the ones selected regardless of whether my main screen is in fit mode or thumbnail mode.
Actual Experience: When the main screen is in fit mod and I save my keywords, they only save to the actual image being displayed in fit mode despite the fact that I have multiple images selected below in the thumbnail bar.
Thanks,
Stephen

Searching in this forum defaults, unfortunately, to the thread you've just been perusing. Just check the other box.
BTW, if we were to vote on it, I'd go with the way it's set up currently. But then, for whatever reason, I hardly ever use the strip. Much prefer grid for multiple ops, and for me, I need to check just how many are selected, anyhow!

Library Keyword Bug - Another example

Lightroom v 3.3
iMac OSX 10.6.7
Here is another example, a pretty egregious example of the keyword bug.
Keyword: Linda shows 811 photos
The Library Filter Shows 801 photos
LR opens 599 in the grid view.
What gives?

I hit Photo > Stacking > Expand All Stacks before taking the screen shot. I brought in 15 more photos. But there still is a big discrepancy between the keyword count, and the filter count on top.
Any experient or suggestions. I DO NOT want to rebuild everything, it will take me weeks.

Smart Album Keyword Bug

I have a library of 17,440 “Referenced” photos, grouped across multiple projects, none of which contain more than about 400 photos. Prior to importing these images into Aperture, I had already keyworded all of them; the keywords are embedded within the image files.
707 of these images have the keyword “Cruise_Ship” (photos of or on a cruise ship). I then created a smart album with a SINGLE filter, “Keyword = Cruise_Ship”. I have no other filters selected, I have no other keywords selected in the keyword filter, and at the top of the keyword filter, I have selected “Include ALL of the following”.
However, instead of the 707 expected images, this smart album actually displays 5336 images. I have verified, via the metadata browser that in fact most of these images DO NOT contain the keyword “Cruise_Ship”.
So, I tried the following (in order). After each step, I once again checked the contents of the smart album, and in each case it displayed 5336 images instead of the correct 770:
Repair Database
Repair Permissions
Rebuild Database
Reboot Computer
Rebuild Database
As one last attempt, in the Keyword HUD, I renamed the keyword “Cruise_Ship” to “CruiseShip” (no underscore). The HUD correctly indicated that that keyword was used in 707 versions. I then in fact changed the keyword in those versions. I then created a NEW smart album, with the only filter being “Keyword = CruiseShip” (again no underscore) and once again the smart album incorrectly displayed 5336 images.
I am using Aperture 3.0.3.
I’m out of ideas...

I can't say I have the same bug. However, I do have one that might be worth checking on.
On my Aperture 3 here the keyword panel padlock works back to front, i.e. if it's displaying an open padlock icon, the keyword panel is actually locked, rather than unlocked as it should be, and vice versa.
This stumped me for a while, as I also kept finding unauthorised changes happening to my keywords. Now I know to operate the padlock opposite to what I expect, it does stop any unauthorised changes.
(yes, I submitted a bug report).
Cheers.

Keyword Bugs and Some Keywording Improvement / Feature Suggestions

Tagging Bugs and Some Improvement / Feature Suggestions
Please excuse where I should use the word Tag or Keyword or vice versa!
1.       BUG?    If a tag synonym is added or changed then all affected photos should be marked for re-publish. I do not think this currently happens.   Should this possibly be considered a bug?
2.       BUG?    When viewing a smart collection in a Flickr publish service and a new tag is added to a photo it is correctly moved to the “requires re-publish” section.   However … the thumb selection in the grid moves to the next photo, the loop view remains on the photo just tagged and the key wording still reflects the just tagged photo.    The selection shown in the grid appears to be wrong.      When working quickly this can result in tagging errors as the user looking on the grid believes he is working on the next highlighted photo in the grid.      This is surely a bug?
3.       BUG?      A minor point and I realise this is probably not the correct way to do things … but a double word synonym entered with quotes for example “Ice Climbing” will create two tags “Ice” and “Climbing” at the flicker end of things.    Removal of this synonym and forcing a re-publish does not delete these two tags at the flicker end of things.    I may have miss-understood, but perhaps it is best for LR not to allow quoted tags?
4.       SUGGESTION      An easier and more powerful way to review tagging of current photos should be provided whereby it is possible to clearly see the current tagging of a photo and have immediate access to the keyword list at the same time to make corrections.    Having both the Keywording and Keyword List panels open in Library mode results in a lot of up and down scrolling for me and is a slightly inelegant UI in my opinion.   I would suggest it should at very least be possible to have the tags viewable in Loop info as an option - so long as no truncation is made and all tags visible.    Ideally a better way should be sought.
5.       SUGGESTION      It would be very useful when reviewing tagging to select to show all photos in the currently selected folder or set which do not contain the selected tag.    Note, I don’t think this can be easily achieved by using a keyword filter and selecting all keywords and unselecting the tag of interest as the pictures may have many tags.    The same might be performed by textual based searches but this is inelegant and its slowness precludes a browsing approach.     For example – for me it would be useful to look at all my mountain shots in a trip which have not been tagged with “Glacier” and it will be immediately visually apparent where I need to make tagging corrections.    I would suggest a “Not” checkbox is made available on the top of each column in the library filter – this may also provide a great deal of power for other situations.
6.       SUGGESTION      It would be useful to allow a means of showing all pictures with a certain tag but which have not been tagged yet with any children of said tag.   For example all pictures tagged with Glacier which I have not yet named the glacier by introducing a relevant child tag or selecting an existing child tag.    A similar situation occurs for wildlife and potentially many other scenarios … I would like to use a tag “Butterfly” which I can quickly use on my first pass… and then do the identification and child tagging on a second pass using appropriate filtering.   This allows for a step wise or “top down” approach to tag classifying things in a workflow.    I appreciate this can be achieved (as I do now) by using a child tag called “Unnamed butterfly” or “Unnamed Glacier” but it seems more powerful, elegant and generically applicable to be able to filter on a “not tagged with a child” basis.
I apologise if I have missed the point on some existing functionality on any of these points and welcome any suggestions.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.

I hope the tech teams are reading this.

Possible Keyword Bug

Okay,
I think I have found a possible bug with keywords, or maybe just an incositancy. It's kind of a messy situation so I'm hoping someone can help me out or maybe point me in the right direction to send this feedback to Apple.
I had a bunch of jpeg files from my older cameras that had already been tagged with keywords (in the IPTC keyword field I believe). Once I imported all of these into Aperture I stripped the keywords from all the images. That worked fine.
Before I get into the actual issue let me give a little bit of information on my Aperture library layout: I have folders created by year, then 1 project per month. So I have something like this:
2002
01 Janurary
02 Feburary
2003
01 Janurary
What's weird is if I create a new smart album at the folder level, the keywords listed in the search box are appropriate (only those actually added to images). However if I click on Library and create a new smart album (so that it searches the whole library) it lists all of my current keywords, plus all of those that I had removed (from the original files).
Anyone else run across this? Anyone know how to fix it? It's just a minor inconvience, but it does make it a bit of a pain to have a whole ton of keywords to select from in the search box (most of them no longer having any images associated with them).
Also I have searched for images that match the old keywords and it doesn't find any.
Thanks,
Mark

She suggests..
"Go to Window > Show Keywords HUD, and see if they are there. If so, you should be able to delete them from there."
Hopefully, they will then disappear from the Library list.
if not, it does seem like a bug.

Semicolon Keyword Bug

I just submitted this as a bug to Apple:
I have keywords set to have people's names listed last name first. So to keep Aperture from treating the last and the first name as separate keywords I format them as "Smith; Fred" instead of "Smith, Fred". This works most of the time, if "Smith; Fred" is not the first keyword to be added to an image.
I've discovered though that if "Smith; Fred" is the first keyword and I add a second. say "Friend", (it doesn't seem to matter what the second keyword is), Then "Smith; Fred" gets split up into two keywords. So in the metadata viewer it is listed as "Fred, Friend, Smith", but if I click on the Keyword tab below the Metadata Viewer, it is still listed as "Smith; Fred" and whatever hierarchy structure listed to the left.
When I try to remove all the keywords by pressing Shift 9, all the keywords in the Keyword tabs are removed including "Smith; Fred", but in the Metadata Viewer "Fred, Smith" remains. I have to either manually remove "Fred" and "Smith", or use the Batch Change function to clear the lingering keywords.
If I add "Friend" as a keyword before I add "Smith; Fred", then "Smith; Fred" stays intact, and I can continue to add keywords without "Smith" and "Fred" getting separated.
If I add "Smith; Sally" as the first keyword, then "Smith; Fred" as the second, I get "Sally, Smith, Smith; Fred" as the result in the keyword viewer, instead of what I should get "Smith; Fred, Smith; Sally"
I can only reproduce this when using commas or semicolons. So adding "Smith, Fred" or "Smith; Fred" gives you these results. I understand that because commas are the delimiter for keywords they should be avoided.
All of these combinations do not reproduce these results and can be used without "Smith" and "Fred" becoming separated:
Smith Fred
Smith: Fred
Smith. Fred
Fred Smith
I can use "Smith Fred" or "Fred Smith" in my keyword HUD and arrange them alphabetically by last name, but I find listing last name first separated by something other than a space (preferably a comma and failing that a semicolon) much easier and better suited for my purposes. I would appreciate a fix at least for the semicolon so that I don't have to be careful about the order that I add keywords in.

To easily remove a keyword from multiple photos at one time do the following;
1 - select the photos you want to work on.
2 - bring up the Keyword pane (type Commande+K)
3 - find the keyword you want to remove (it will be in blue) and click on it. When it turns grey the keyword will be removed from all of the selected photos. You can add keywords the same way.
See if this method will permanently remove the keyword(s) from the photo.
If that doesn't help make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If still not working launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.

How Can I Share iPhoto Library/Keywords Among Multiple Users

Hi there! I am having a bit of a dilemma where I am trying how I can have several users access a shared iPhoto library (as well as retain their own personal iPhoto libraries). Basically, I have a handful of (three) users that need to be able to store/search against a common shared photo library - ideally, in iPhoto.
I understand that I can share albums through iPhoto (users are using a mix of iPhoto '08 and '09) on one account as long as iPhoto is running - a serious drawback. When I tried sharing photos via this method I was able to see the shared albums; however the keywords that were defined for those photos were not available. This presents two questions:
1) Can iPhoto share its library among multiple users (including keywords, etc) so that if a user account (let's call it "media") shares out selected albums that the viewing users (user1 and user2) can search against the keywords in the host library? Or is this not possible with iPhoto?
2) Is there another way of sharing photos that is more efficient and can be hosted on our private servers? The interface in iPhoto is amazing - and if there was an application that allowed for that same sort of feel/tagging we would be good to go...

Well here is the weird thing. If I was sharing out the library from my computer, I could search for the keywords (and obtain results) as expected. However, if I went to another computer that was viewing my shared library, searching by the same keyword did not return any results.

ICloud Photo Library resolution bug(?)

Ok..so I enabled iCloud Photo Library after updating to iOS 8.1. Everything seemed ok except the fact that downloading to my PC a picture from beta.icloud.com saves a 2048 x 1536 res picture, rather than the full 3264 x 2448 original photo. Is this normal? I really can't find it's utility and it makes me anxious turning on the optimize storage feature....will this result in me losing all my full-res photos to 2048x1536 ones? Now, I know this is only a beta service, but this type of bug sends it back to a more like alpha stage in my opinion.

Filter by keyword bug?

Has anyone else noticed this bug in iMovie '09...
After adding some keywords try to use the 'Filter by Keyword' feature, you'll notice that it's impossible to turn the topmost green light on. In other words it's impossible to 'only show clips that are tagged with whatever happens to be the first keyword in the list'.
You can only 'omit' the topmost keyword from view (red light).
Dave

I've noticed this as well - surely this can be sorted in a software update? What are your plans Apple?

Applying Library Icon bug (or Feature request)?

I am curious if NI would consider this a bug, or if it should be a feature request on the Idea Exchange.
I typically have some small footprint VIs in a library/class/etc (i.e. they have a small icon). In these cases I don't like to use the library icon. In the Icon editor, I simply hide the NI_Library layer, and everything is fine. Except, if I make a change to the library icon, LabVIEW, makes the layer visible again. I am guessing that LabVIEW is actually deleting and adding the layers.
Regardless, shouldn't LabVIEW check the visbility status of the layer and keep it intact after the update?
This is all in LV2011.

Hi Matthew,
I tried to duplicate this behavior on my machine and it seems to be a bug.
I'm going to create an CAR (correction action request) and I'll give you the update for this error.
This is the number of the CAR so you can keep track of the bug for future releases. CAR : 349073
Thank you so much for helping us to improve LabVIEW.
Have a great day,

Rebuilt library keywords

Ok, After 4 days, and one false start, I managed to get my meticulously organized & keyworded Library rebuilt on an EHD using iPLM... except now all of my events are fractured, some are out of order & all of my keywords are gone! Given that I'm now having to lay eyes on literally tens of thousands of photos, is there any way to repair this? I'd give just about anything to get back my keywords!

I'm guessing that because I have no such file (Keywords.plist) that they're totally missing... this is my original Library:
And this is the rebuilt one:
I'm sorry to be so difficult. I'm in over my head & I really appreciate the help.

Aperture Keyword Bug!!?!?!?

Wow, I've just spent hours assigning keywords in Aperture and the Smart Album I've created and re-created does not accurately reflect the selected keywords.... OUCH! Is this a known bug? Please, is there a solution???
I have noticed that one KW: "Debbie" seems to show all of the images that are tagged with another KW ("Wine"). Some KWs seem to be accurate.... for others there is no explanation--it's just wacky.
AP 3.0.3, MacPro, 30" Monitor.
Thanks,
Robert
<Edited by Host>

Also make sure to give Aperture some processing time. With thousands of photos and changes, it can take a minute or more for everything to percolate through the database. I've noticed this especially with mass keyword changes. Close and re-open Aperture to force all changes to take effect.
In case you don't know, "{Option}+click" on a keyword in the keyword list of the Keyword Filter Rule will deselect all other keywords and select only the clicked keyword. This can be useful for troubleshooting Smart Albums which aren't behaving as expected.
You should also check that you don't have duplicate keywords with the same name at different levels of your keyword hierarchy. ("People/Friends/Debbie" is not the same as "People/Debbie" even though each shows as "Debbie".) Aperture has yet to correct this unhelpful behavior.

LR 1.3.1 Keyword Bug

Did a search and couldn't find any reference to this, but when I start typing a keyword and get the pull-down with the choices that start with the letter(s), if I've entered a lower case letter but select a capitalized keyword, the keyword will retain the lower case.
This is a problem because keywords are case sensitive and it creates a new keyword instead of using the one selected. I've noticed this problem since 1.0.
John Gregson

on LR 1.2 in Vista this is occuring as well. Keyword tags typed by "Keywording" in the right menu are case sensitive.
If 'pets' exists as a keyword and 'Pets' is typed... the selection will show 'pets' but if 'Pets' is used, then a new parent level keyword is created. Very frustrating.
Also, it would be nice if the synonym keywords were tagged to the metadata automatically.

Picture Library jslink BUG

Hello,
I have a picture library with a few pictures. Now I add this library as a web part to a totally blank page. It displays the default thumbnail view perfectly. I haven't changed anything yet. Now all I do is add a jslink to a js file that is on the server.
The thumbnail view of the picture library changes to an 'all pictures' view and NOTHING I do can bring it back. The jslink file has no errors. Even if I comment everything in the file it doesn't show me the thumbnails. As soon as I remove the jslink, the thumbnail
view returns.
PLEASE HELP. I need to customize the look and feel of a picture gallery for a client and this isn't working.
Thanks in advance.
pix.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize the look and feel of a picture gallery.
We can use JavaScript Client Object Model or REST API to get the picture data from the picture library, then use jQuery and CSS to achieve your requirement.
Here is an example for your reference:

Photos & Camera / Photo Library Storage Bug?

I have 3.3 GB of phantom photos and videos in my Photos App. I have removed all photos and videos from my iPhone. Settings > General > Usage > Storage / Manage Storage > Photos & Camera still reports 3.3 GB of storage is being used.
I have made sure that all photos and videos have also been removed from the "Recently Deleted" album in the Photos App.
I have made a local backup using iTunes on my Mac, Restored iPhone to iOS 8.1.3 and then Restored Backup from iTunes on my Mac. No content in the Photos App, but the storage is still being taken up.
I made an Apple Support call and the only advice they could give me was to restore my iPhone and set it up as a new device.
This bug was in iOS 8.1.2 and remains in 8.1.3
- Kyle

Yes, that is strange. When you're in the Manage Storage section of Settings, tap on 'Photos & Camera' and it should show you a breakdown of which parts of the app are using storage.
It's possible that the corruption is in the app data somewhere, so the issue may always come back after restoring from a backup. However, I'd be curious to see if the same issue persists after erasing all content and settings then restoring from an iCloud backup (rather than iTunes backup). Since iCloud downloads photos AFTER the settings have been restored (as opposed to iTunes, which restores settings and photos at the same time), it might recognize that no photos are supposed to be downloaded and the Manage Storage section of your Settings may display properly. Just a suggestion.
