Lightroom 4 - keywords lists

It should be able to create keyword lists in two languages at least in Lightroom 4, in English and local language. It's because not everyone speaks English, but English is required to exhibit the photo on the stock. It will make work easier.
I need to have choose of what language version I wont so save keywords when I export the images.
And more, the ability to edit lists of keywords in a separate extended window, to facilitate.

As this forum is focused primarily on the beta version and new features, you'd be better to log your request on the official feature request forum here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/products/photoshop_family_photoshop_lightro om

  • Bug with Lightroom 4? - Big problem in the keyword list!!

    Hello guys,
    I am Rafael Rojas, a nature and landscape photographer. This is my first post, trigered by a quite bothering problem I am having with my LR...So hello everybody!
    I upgraded to LR 4 a week ago. Today I realized many of the keywords I have installed in Lightroom do not appear on the keyword list (basically all keywords after the letter S). Moreover, half of the keywords which appear on the list are not editable: that is, I cannot assign them to the selected image (by clicking on the left box), or I cannot double click them or right click them to get the Edit panel. All the rest of keywords (those which appear on the list on top), can be edited and there is no problem.
    When I export the keywords as a .txt file (in metadata, export keywords) I can see that all the keywords are there. When I try to write some of them on the box LR recognize them and adds them automatically. However, I just cannot see them on my keyword list or just cannot edit them.
    The reason I want to edit the keywords is because many of them got desactivated while upgrading (something more people have reported). Right now, I cannot send my images to my stock galleries, since many of my important keywords are not active, and I just cannot edit them...
    Can you help me please?
    thanks so much!!
    rafael

    Well, 64 bits.
    And yes, it seems when I erase one keyword, the list "shows" one more below...so it seems the problem is related to a certain limit in number.
    That would be still a problem I could live with, the big problem tough is that many of the keywords got "deactivated" alone by Lightroom (see problem here described http://www.backyardsilver.com/2012/02/strange-behavior-with-capitalized-keywords/) and that means I NEED to edit some keywords which are really important and which are not active. Otherwise, when I export the images those keywords are not embedded...
    Any thoughts?

  • 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

  • In Keyword List panel, need to support quotes for AND'ing multi-word keyword searches

    As far as I know (and read around), there's no way to search multi-word keywords in the keywords list panel using the "Filter Keywords" box. i.e. If I want to search for the "Great Blue Heron" keyword in a large animal keywords list I have, Lightroom will OR the three words instead of AND'ing them like Aperture does more intuitively. Adding quotes like "Great Blue Heron" doesn't work either. Again this is to filter a large keyword lists through the "Filter Keywords" box in the Keywords List panel.
    Am I missing something? Is it possible to AND multi-word keywords?
    Thanks.

    Rob,
    as far as I know spaces are also contained and allowed in controlled vocabularies (e.g. for the "official" names of animals 'little panda' for example and plants). I'm using spaces for names very often. As a prof. photographer I need to write captions for all of my images before sending them to my agency with WHEN/WHAT/WHERE/WHO etc. So when shooting persons very often or regular (e.g. politicians or athletes) I started years ago to create keywords and hierarchies for them. So it is much easier and more comfortable to assign them later.
    Please check out PhotoMechanic or IMatch. These progs doesn't have any problems with spaces in keywords and keyword searches...
    BTW: when using a space in a search I expect that the default behaviour of such a space is a locical AND.

  • Keyword list length in 2.1

    Hi all... not sure if Ive done something wrong here, but have imported catalog from 1.3 to 2.1 and a weird thing happened to the keyword list. I can only go down about halfway with my scrolling.... get to the letter 'I' and no further. If I delete a word, the next one down will appear. Its almost as if LR will only show a certain number... any ideas? Mark

    A window or individual control may have such a limit, but that doesn't quite explain why a program such as Excel has long been able to display 65536 lines (recently increased) and doesn't get near explaining why long lists are perfectly achievable in database apps such as Access or countless VB apps on SQL back ends. This is a Lightroom on Windows coding issue and shouldn't be diluted by thinking Windows inherently imposes the 32k limitation.

  • Keyword list is missing

    My whole keyword list is missing in Lightroom 2. The keyword sets are there. I am using Win Vista. Has anyone else had this problem?

    The keyword list is there and it shows over 4000 photos in Places but not any of the many sub-terms in Places. It only shows church which I put in this morning. If I click on a photo, it shows 3 different keywords for that photo under Keyword Tags but only the category Places in the Keyword List (I had many other categories). I am pretty sure the whole list was there yesterday.

  • Keyword list is truncated about 1/2 way through alphabet

    My keyword list (LR 3.4.1) in the Library is truncated about 1/2 through it.  I can only see into the P section of the alphabet.  My keyword list is flat, not hierarchical..  From what I read this is either a feature OR a BUG since at least version 1.x.
    Is there a solution to this BUG yet?  If so what?

    Lightroom has a limitation of showing only something like 1603 keywords in the keywords list. Appearantly this is a Windows limitation, or a lack of LR dealing with a Windows limitation.
    If you see something like 1603 keywords, this is what your problem is. As a workaround, I suggest a very simple alphabetical hierarchy. Create a keyword  called "A". Then select all the keywords that start with A and drag them  into the new A keyword. Repeat for B-Z. Then double-click each of the  letter keywords, and uncheck "Include on Export".

  • Keyword list system standardizing

    Keyword list system in Adobe Bridge CC is different from Lightroom. Lightroom has Synonyms options. When photos export from Lr, Bright will put synonyms keywords into "Other Keywords" list. It will make the Bridge keyword list a mess.
    For example. In lightroom, I put "Reach Stacker" at top, "Reachstacker" and "RS" at Synonyms. The Bridge does not recognize the Lr keyword list system. It put them into "Other Keywords" list. Organizing keyword list become difficult.
    what I suggest is adobe keyword list system need a standard.

    Adobe metadata and keyword searches needs to be fix in a lot of ways. I'm also having trouble searching for keywords throughout a whole drive and not just in one folder.
    But as a quick fix you can always make new Keyword list "pull downs" and drag keywords into pull downs to create the same type of filing structure. Once you set it up you shouldn't have to do it again.
    Hope that helps!

  • Importing keyword list from Photoshop CS1 is possible

    Amongst all this gloom on a more positive note I thought people might be interested to know that I have successfully managed to import my long keywords list from Photoshop CS1 into the keywords hud. It is fiddly and I'm sure there must be a more graceful way of doing it but I got there in the end.
    There are two buttons bottom right of the keyword hud - import and export - for which I have found no documentation in the manual however I tried export and it exported the keyword list as a text document. If you find your Photoshop CS keyword pref file which is by default kept in : user name / library / preferences / Adobe Photoshop CS settings / Keywords.psp, you can open it with text edit. You then have to fiddle around with the formatting which I did by copying it into a word processing app and using find and replace so that I ended up with a tabbed list which followed the same format as the exported aperture text list. I then pasted it into the aperture list and after a bit more fiddling around was then able to use the import button on the hud to bring in my entire list as it appeared in Filebrowser.
    Fingers crossed!
    Best wishes

  • LR bug: Keyword list scrolls up when you filter

    This seems like a bug disguised as feature that goes back several versions of Lightroom.
    When you have a huge keyword list, and scroll down a meaningful way and then filter to see photos that have a certain keyword, the list automatically scrolls back to the top.  This is pure madness!  The list should stay put where you are and not make you scroll down back to where you were.
    Why is this useful? Imagine trying to manage keywords and doing cleanup where you have a bunch of keywords next to each other (or in the same parent keyword in a nested list), that you want to cleanup one after the other.  The auto scroll to top behavior is just crazy and makes me want to not manage keywords!

    I'm on Windows.. i was getting the behavior I described 100% of the time when I wrote my original post.
    However, now when I tried to repro it to screencapture a video to show you all, it doesn't repro.  Oy.

  • Keyword list totals missing in LR3

    Top level totals missing in keyword list in LR3, these were there in LR2.  Totals available by individual keyword only.  I used these totals to check that all new photos had been keyworded, now I cannot say if I have missed some records or which ones they are.  No top level totals in search either.

    As Lee Jay has pointed out, this is by design. Lightroom now only displays a count for explicit keywords.

  • Lightroom Keywording question...

    I am pretty comfortable with Lightroom, but there is one scenario that can be frustrating.
    I am keywording a new batch of photos. I am on a photo and assign 5 keywords. I then right arrow to the next photo and I want to "dupe" all 5 keywords from the previous photo (e.g. copy/paste)...
    There doesn't seem to be an easy way (button or keyboard shortcut)...
    Any suggestions?
    Right now I either:
    * Click all the keywords in recent keyword list (a pain)
    * Go "back" and copy / paste
    Any suggestions would be grateful.

    There are many ways. One is to use the keyword spray can (should be on the bottom toolbar), the other main way is to copy metadata (from the metadata menU, the shortcut is different in windows and Mac OS, so check the shortcut there), select keywords as what to copy and paste the metadata over your other image.
    Edit: Oh I didn't notice you were using the zoom view, yeah there it is a little harder.

  • Lightroom Keyword Issue

    Greetings. I'm running the 64-bit version of LR3.3 on Windows 7, but I've had this issue since before the upgrade. I have a long list of keywords. I'm finding that if I expand my keyword list keywords near the bottom third are not selectable, even though it shows how many photos are tagged with them. If I open up a metadata filter and scroll to the bottom of my keyword column I get the same results. However, if I do a find and specify a keyword that way it will bring the photos up. I haven't found anything in the forums regarding this problem. Does anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    It's a problem with how the list was coded in Lightroom which involved a failure to code around a limitation on the Windows platform. Lists of keywords longer than around 1600 items are truncated. I don't think you'll see a quick fix for it, but I hope it will happen in LR4.
    As a workaround, put your keywords into a simple hierarchy.

  • Keywording/Keyword List tabs not showing in Library Module

    The keywording & Keyword List tabs are not showing up in my library module on the right hand side. Also, I can't seem to use the Mac 'Command + K' shortcut to add a keyword. Have tried on photos that are both from my iphone (TIFF) as well as raw from my Nikon (NEF).
    New to lightroom and have no idea what's up. Just noticed it today after having been working in the program for about a week now doing basic tutorials and stuff with lynda.com
    Thanks!

    Right-click one of the other panel headers and check the ones you want.

  • Shortcut to close Keywording List

    Does anyone know of a keyboard shortcut to close and open the Keywording list in the Library? I very often go from Keywords to Metadata and back and need to close and open the Keywords because the list is too long to scroll. I can't find seem to find this on the keyboard shortcuts list and using the Solo Mode only solves a part of the problem. Thanks for any help.

    Actually this works throughout all Lightroom panels: count how many there are and use ctrl plus its number to toggle it open/closed or just bring it into scrolling focus.
    Works in develop module, too.
    The right hand panels are adressed by ctrl, the left-hand panels by ctrl+shift.
