Question about keyword hierarchies

Hi, I'm relatively new to Lightroom. I'm seeing an "interesting" behavior with respect to hierarchical keywords and I'd like to understand if it is correct.
To start with, I've got an example keyword hierarchy for aircraft:
So far so good. Now, I have brought some images into Lightroom that have all of those keywords (aircraft, boeing, b-17 flying fortress, texas raiders) in the image. These keywords were inserted by another application, prior to me switching to Lightroom and importing into Lightroom. After importing into Lightroom, I arranged these in a hierarchy. So, when I select one of those images, the keyword panel looks like this, indicating that all four of those keywords are explicitly assigned to the selected image:
Now, I find that if I export a version of this image with "Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy", then the actual Keyword metadata field in the file contains this:
     air show, aircraft, airshow, b-17 flying fortress, boeing, monochrome, texas raiders, aircraft | boeing, aircraft | boeing | b-17 flying fortress, aircraft | boeing | b-17 flying fortress | texas raiders
I understand that this is the actual keywords, followed by the hierarchical keyword paths. However, I notice that parts of the hierarchical path are repeated. In other words, the above includes all of the following:
     aircraft | boeing
     aircraft | boeing | b-17 flying fortress
     aircraft | boeing | b-17 flying fortress | texas raiders
Is this because the "boeing" and "b-17 flying fortress" keywords have been explicitly assigned to the image, in addition to these keywords being inherited from the lower level keywords which are also explcitly assigned?
What I would like to see in the exported file is the list of keywords plus just the one long hierarchical path from bottom-to-top, without the "pieces", like this:
     aircraft | boeing | b-17 flying fortress | texas raiders
I notice I can get that if only if I unassign all keywords except for the lowest-level keyword, like this:
Is this expected behavior? I assume that it is.
The problem I am having is this. In my pre-Lightroom days, I had all these keywords assigned directly to the images without any hierarchy whatsoever. I imported them into Lightroom, and then arranged the keyword hierarchy inside Lightroom's Keyword List panel. Now, as a result of all keywords in the hierarchy being explicitly assigned, I'm seeing parts of the hierarchy repeated when I export (as shown above), and it is "messy".
Is there any way to clean this up without it being a totally manual process?
Does it harm anything to leave it as-is (i.e. with repeated parts of hierarchy)?
Thank you
Chris

Thank you John, KeywordConsolidator has a "Remove Parents" function which (if I understand the description correctly) will do what I'm looking for.

  • Questions about keyword hierarchy

    I'm in the process of designing and building a keyword hierarchy for LR3.5, and I'm at a loss to understand a couple of things.
    In the process of deciding how to build this, I've looked at a number of hierarchies people have posted to the web. One thing I've noted is that people sometimes have the same word in multiple hierarchies, and sometimes the same word as both a regular entry and as a synonym.  For example:
    Architecture
          Building
              Church
                      {Cathedral}
              Cathedral
              Skyscraper.....
    Cities
          Building
          Cathedral....
    So what happens if I use the keyword building?
    I *think* what will happen is that LR gives me a choice of selecting Building>Architecture OR Building>Cities.  Is that correct?   Is there a way to get Building, Cities AND Architecture? What happens if I select Cities?  Do I get ONLY cities, and none of the lower level keywords?
    And I'm at a total loss about synonyms. If, while applying keywords to an image, I select the synonym {Cathedral}, under Architecture, what keyword(s) get assigned to the image?  What if I select Church?  And what if I select Cathedral under Cities?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks web-weaver.
    I posted basically the same question in a couple of other places, and got conflicting answers. And the information I found on web searches tended to explain HOW to set up a hierarchy, but not how it really worked, and information on synonyms is especially limited, and often conflicting. So I did some tests.  So as to not use any words that were already in my keyword list, I built a simple hierarchy of words not currently in use:
    Colors       
        Blue   
            {Cyan}
            {Azure}
        Red   
            Pink
                            Salmon
            Rose
        Green   
            {BRG}
            {Emerald}
        Cyan  
        Orange
    Fruit
        Orange
        Apple
    (I actually had a couple of other trees, but this is enough to demonstrate how they actually work.)   
    And it turns out synonyms don't work quite like I expected them to, and are, honestly, so limited I question their value.
    Test1:  Tag a photo with the keyword Cyan. Only Cyan gets applied to the metadata, not any of the words associated with it (Blue, Colors, Azure). Searching, I can find the image by searching on Cyan, or Colors. But NOT by searching on Blue.
    Test2: Tag a photo with the keyword Blue. Only Blue gets applied to the metadata, not Cyan, or Azure. When searching, I can find it by searching on Blue, or any of it's synonyms (Cyan, Azure), or Colors.
    (I had expected synonyms to work the other way, I think. So that if I searched on Blue I'd get all images tagged with Blue, but also those tagged with Azure and Cyan. )
    Test3:  Tag one photo with Cyan, and another with Blue. Searching with Cyan gets me both images, as does searching with Colors. Searching on Blue gets me only the image tagged with Blue.
    Test 4: Tag a photo with the word Colors (and nothing else). I find it by searching ONLY on colors, not Blue, Cyan, or Azure.
    Test 5:  Tag a photo with the word Red (and nothing else). I find it by searching on Red, or Colors, but not Pink or Rose.
    Test 6:  Tag a photo with the word Pink (and nothing else). I find it by searching on Pink, Red or Colors, but not Salmon.
    Test 7: Tag one photo with Orange->Color, and a second image with Orange->Fruit (this nomenclature seems backwards to me, btw.  It's really Fruit-Orange and Color-Orange, but whatever...) Searching on Orange finds both images. Searching on Color finds only one, searching on Fruit finds only the other.
    Synonyms affect only search, and not tagging (assignment). Searching on a term that is a synonym will find images tagged with the main word. (e.g., search on Azure and you'll find Blue, but not Colors). 
    On another site someone replied that when you search you'll find "any image which bears that keyword or any keyword BELOW it in the hierarchy." That's backwards, at least as I understand the word "above.". You'll actually find images using the keyword, it's alias, or any word ABOVE it in the hierarchy. So if an image is tagged with Red, you can find it by searching on Red or Colors, but not Pink. If the image is tagged with pink, you can find it with Colors, Red or Pink, but not Salmon.
    The worst limitation of using synonyms is that when you're tagging an image, LR3 isn't smart enough to know the synonyms exist. So if I tag an image with the word Azure, LR3 doesn't substitute Blue, or use the synonym where it already exists in the hierarchy.  Instead, creates a new, top level entry named Azure, not tied in any way to the alias or the "Colors" tree. 
    It seems like it would be useful to be able to enter Blue as a search term and find any images tagged with Azure and Cyan. Or enter Red as a search term and find Pink and Rose, too. The way it's implemented now forces you to enter the term you're most likely to use (Blue, for example) at the bottom of the hierarchy, and the least used words above. Or to use synonyms, and hope you never get confused an enter a synonym as a keyword instead of the word it refers to.
    It seems to me it's more useful to just use Azure as another keyword beneath (or maybe above) Blue in the hierarchy. At least that way if I tag an image with Azure, I'm not creating a new entry in the Keyword list. I'm not sure I see much value in synonyms as they're currently implemented, but if someone has some examples of how synonyms benefit them I'd be delighted to see them.
    Hopefully this information will be of use to someone.

  • A question about keyword tags

    Is it possible in settings... or somewhere, to set it so that when you open (PrE9's) organizer instead of starting with keyword hierarchy list - it could open on keyword cloud view? I am not so keen on the hierrarchy method...
    Thanks.
    brush

    I did some experimenting in the Elements 9 Organizer.
    1-- yes, when you close the Organizer then it does always seem to come up next time with the Thumbnail grid AND the Tags panel on the right is set to Hierarchy view. Then you must click on the icon for Cloud view.
    2-- my conclusion is that if I click on the Cloud icon after starting the Organizer, then it was staying as Cloud in the Keyword Tags panel to the right of the Thumbnails for the duration that the Organizer is open.
    3-- Note that if you use Full Screen for viewing your photos, then for the "Quick Organize" panel that drags out from the left side of the screen near the bottom, the default for Keyword Tags is Cloud. This is a different method of working which you may or may not like: however since it does set Cloud I decided to mention it.
    FYI - to get to Full Screen you can use the pull down menu for the Display icon (that is next to the House icon on the top bar of the main Organizer screen). Choose the option "View, Edit, Organize in Full Screen".  FYI - I usually select the thumbnails of the photos which I want to Organize before I go in to Full Screen.

  • Question about keyword searches

    Hi,
    When I am searching a large collection of pictures by keyword, how should I set Aperture such that if I select 1 keyword, the ONLY OTHER keywords that Aperture shows me and allows me to select are those that already contain the first keyword I had selected?
    So for example, if I select the keyword "SAN FRANCISO" then all the remaining keywords that I am able to select should not be my entire collection of keywords, but rather only those that exist within photos that currently also have a tag of SAN FRANCISO on them. By this logic, then, I am unlikely to see the tag "EGYPT" but more likely to see the tag "Coffeeshop".
    Any ideas?

    if I understand u correctly, yes.
    -- Include if "All" of the following "Match" -- (instead of "Any")
    so a search for "San Francisco" will only show San Francisco, if not, you'll get San Diego, San Pedro,...if "All" is not selected, as oppose to "Any"

  • Question about ERMS push

    Hi Guru,
    I am prototyping the ERMS push solution in CRM7 and have some questions about the solution SAP help provided.
    Below is the detail about ERMS push:
    Here the e-mail is first handled by the e-mail pull mechanism: it is converted into a
    SAPoffice mail and analyzed by ERMS to find out more details about the mail (like language and certain keywords).
    Then the mail (including the additional information from the ERMS analysis) is transferred to the
    CMS (Communication Management Software). The CMS determines the appropriate agent team and
    dispatches the mail via the push process to an available agent of that team.
    Below is the sap help link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/0e/6a22b86821468691bd5abb51dfd81e/content.htm
    I have below questions about the solution in the help link:
    1. It mentioned about the email profile (set the agent inbox as email provider) and I changed the u201Cdefaultu201D profile delivered by sap. I setup the rule policy according to the help and assigned it in the service manager profile. The purpose of ERMS push is to push email to CMS instead of sending to agent inbox using ERMS. Which business role should this email profile be assigned to? Is it IC_agent?
    2. The help also mentioned about setup u201CERMS_ACTIONu201D as communication system ID in CRMM_BCB_ADM. Does this ID need to be added in the CMS profile? If so, which business role should this CMS profile be assigned to? Is it IC_Agent?
    3. The ERMS uses workflow WS00200001. After the email is pushed to CMS, what status should the workflow be, in progress or complete? Also does it suppose to have agent assigned in the workflow task?
    4. After the CMS pushes the email back to CRM, it will be a pop up for agent to accept or reject. Will it create an interaction record once the agent clicks the accept?
    It would be great if you could shed some light on this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Zhijie,
    Let me see if I can help address some of your questions.
    1) It doesn't matter which business role you use. You can copy IC_AGENT for example. The important thing is, as Mariusz mentions in this thread, [ERMS email push: problem with CAD and transfer;,your E-Mail profile must be set for E-Mail Provider = 2 (Agent Inbox).
    2) No, this ID itself does not need to be added to any business role (as I assume it is hardcoded in the SAP workflow as Mariusz mentions).
    3) From what I remember, the ERMS Push emails are not set to complete by the system, and therefore can still get inadvertantly routed to agents! I recommend to have a second rule in your Rule Modeler policy to route the ERMS Push emails to a special, separate queue where you can close them out easily without worrying about them getting assigned to any agents!
    4) Yes, the email will arrive like a phone call with the accept/reject buttons flashing (though it will show as an email, not a phone call). And yes, when the agent accepts an Interaction Record will be created by the system automatically.
    I hope this helps you!

  • Question about autodiscover in case of multiple bound namespace

    Hi Experts,
    I have a question about the autodiscover behaviour. Let's assume we have the below infrastructure:
    SiteA :
    MBX-Server-SiteA : Member of a DAG
    CAS-Server-SiteA : outlook anywhere url = siteA.domain.com
    SiteB :
    MBX-Server-SiteB : Member of a DAG
    CAS-Server-SiteB-1 : outlook anywhere url = siteB-1.domain.com
    CAS-Server-SiteB-2: outlook anywhere url = siteB-2.domain.com
    We have DB-1 and DB-2 that have copies in both MBX servers.
    My question is how does exchange select the access URLs to return in the autodiscover process? I know that it depends on where the mailbox is hosted but can't find details about the process in the technet articles.
    Thanks.

    There's quite a few details that are involved in the Autodiscover process. First of all - probably the most important thing is that there are 2 stages to the whole process.
    In the first stage, the client is simply concerned with getting the address of a CAS server that will help it further. We'll keep things simple and assume your scenario where the client is located inside the network and is domain-joined. The details of the
    LDAP query are detailed in
    this link. (At the time I was investigating this I've actually went ahead and ran the queries using the ldp.exe client against the Configuration partition of the respective AD domain - it's worth seeing the actual responses.) An interesting trick here is
    the 'keywords' attribute that's stamped on those SCP entries. The reason behind it is that you don't want a client located in a site to go half across the globe in order to connect to a CAS server, when there's one available in its own site. One simple way
    to get the 'keywords' attribute stamped is through the Set-ClientAccessServer cmdlet, using the -AutodiscoverSiteScope parameter. In your example, you'd probably want to run it against the CAS server in Site A and specify the name of the corresponding AD site
    ('SiteA') and correspondingly against the 2 CAS servers in Site B (using 'SiteB'). Once the client has got the response to his query, it will attempt to select one server that's handling the site he's in (essentially it will filter the results based on 'keywords'
    -contains <client-site>). Now that we got our endpoint we can go to stage 2.
    In stage 2, the client will actually use EWS in order to query the Autodiscover service itself running on our target server. There are 2 possible interfaces of accessing the Autodiscover service: POX (Plain Old XML) and SOAP. POX will be targeting the ../Autodiscover.xml
    URLS, while the SOAP one will be using ../Autodiscover.svc URLs. Details about this including some hardcoded parts are
    here. What happens next is detailed in point 3, section 2.1 The Autodiscover Process
    here. This last link is the key to the whole process:
    "It provides a list of CAS that has AutodiscoverSiteScope information set for the
    Associated AD site of the Database where the client Mailbox is located."
    In other words, the CAS is smart enough to return the URLs belonging to a CAS server in the AD site where the client's mailbox' database is active.
    My advice is to test this on your scenario. Tests can be done here first-hand: the Outlook's tray icon Test E-Mail AutoConfiguration can be used or alternatively - if you want to see the details in the communication - SoapUI
    for the SOAP access method, for POX there's an extension called 'Postman for Chrome' that can be used. I've used all these in my tests back when I was fighting conflicting results from the articles around the web about Autodiscover.
    That's a long way of saying we get the AutoD URL of a CAS server closest to the workstation, which then provides the configuration to use which are the the URLs closest to the mailbox  :)
    By all means look at the SOAP response, but Outlook will only use POX.  Lync does SOAP along with other 3rd party apps.
    Cheers,

  • Another BW question about filter in the query definition

    Hi ,
    I have another question about filter in the query definition.
    <u>Question:</u>
    Which of the following objects can be filtered in the query definition?
    A. characteristic
    B. Key figure
    C. Structure
    D. Units
    E. Hierarchy
    My answer is A,B,D,E.
    The answer in the book is A,B,D
    Can anybody tell me which one is wrong?
    Thanks in advance,
    Liu Jia

    HI
    1.The answer could be A,B,D.you can not apply filters on hierarchies
    2.Whenever there is a change in Attribute data(like Location,Num etc...)that has to be reflected in all aggregates of the cube.Thsi can be done by running "ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN".

    I have many questions about this program, but let me ask this one first:
    In the TrueFalseQeustion class, why are there so many constructors? What is the purpose of setting some of the variables to default values?
    Thank you very much!!!

    } I don't understand why the assignment wants me to build a method in the MultpleChoiceQuestion class to store the potential answer choices, I can make the program display the potential answer choices by including them in the questionText as following in the QuizDriver class
    Question x;
    x = new MultipleChoiceQuestion("What is the color of the car\na.Red\nb.Green", "a. Red", 3);
    t.addQuestion(x); I don't know how to allow the client to construct the list of answer choices one at a time(add one potential answer choice by calling the addAsnwerChoices() method once)
    Here are a few original sentences of my assignment which describe what I should do with the MultipleChoiceQuestion class
    Using TrueFalseQuestion as a model, develop a new MultipleChoiceQuestion class that can be used to represent a problem where the user must select one of several answer choices (e.g., "Select answer (a), (b), (c), or (d)."). This new question type should have all of the same externally-visible functionality as TrueFalseQuestion, except that it must:
    maintain a list of potential answer choices
    provide a method that allows the client to construct the list of answer choices one at a time (i.e., the client should be able to call an addAnswerChoice() method to pass a new answer option to the MultipleChoiceQuestion.)
    display (as part of the question text) the list of answer choices with appropriate letters ("abcd" instead of "0123") I don't understand what these sentences mean.
    1. "Maintain a list of potential answer choices"-- this reminds me of the getPossibleAnswerChoice() method in the TrueFalseQuestion class
    public String[] getPossibleAnswerChoice ()
            String[] possibleAnswerChoice = {"true", "false"};
            return possibleAnswerChoice;
        }I wonder that if the potential answer choices I have to store in the MultipleChoiceQuestion class are only letters "a", "b", "c", "d", etc, or include the answer text coming after the letters(eg. a.Red, b.Green)
    2. "provide a method that allows the client to construct the list of answer choices one at a time". How do I achieve the functionality "one at a time"? Do I need to pass the input of the client (a potential answer choice) to the variable of the method which stores the list of potential answers?
    3. "display (as part of the question text) the list of answer choices with appropriate letters". My question here is that: When the client type in one possible answer, should I append it to the variable questionText? (So I use the questionText variable in the methods of the first and second steps)
    Thank you very much for your nice help!

  • Hi All, I have question about the iMac operating system. I have the last updated. The problem when I manage the place of the folder windows they are all mixing up. I mean they not on the place where I left them. how to set they stay on the same place. Tks

    Hi All, I have question about the iMac operating system. I have the last updated. The problem when I manage the place of the folder windows they are all mixing up. I mean they not on the place where I left them. how to set they stay on the same place? I know there are different possibilities to set.
    I tried but it not helped for me. What I can do? How and where can set this they stay on their place?
    Thanks.
    laci

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    My HP, purchased in June 2012, died on Saturday.  I was working in recently installed Photoshop, walked away from my computer to answer the phone and when I came back the screen was blank.  When I turned it on, I got a Windows Error Recovery message.  The computer was locked and wouldn't let me move the arrow keys up or down and hitting f8 didn't do anything. 
    I'm not happy with HP.  Any suggestions?

  • Questions about using the Voice Memos app

    I'm currently an Android user, but will be getting an iPhone 6 soon. My most used app is the voice memos app on my Android phone. I have a couple questions about the iPhone's built-in voice memos app.
    -Am I able to transfer my voice memos from my Android phone to my iPhone, so my recordings from my Android app will show up in the iPhone's voice memos app?
    -When exporting voice memos from the iPhone to computer, are recordings in MP3 format? If not, what format are they in?
    -In your opinion, how is the recording quality of the voice memos app?

    You cannot import your Android voice memos to your iPhone's voice memo app.  You might be able to play the Android memos and have the iPhone pick up the audio and record it.
    Here is the writeup about sending voice memos from the iPhone to your computer (from the iPhone User Guide):
    App quality is excellent.

  • Re: Question about the Satellite P300-18Z

    Hello everyone,
    I have a couple of questions about the Satellite P300-18Z.
    What "video out" does this laptop have? (DVI, s-video or d-sub)
    Can I link the laptop up to a LCD-TV and watch movies on a resolution of 1080p? (full-HD)
    What is the warranty on this laptop?

    Hello
    According the notebook specification Satellite P300-18Z has follow interfaces:
    DVI - No DVI port available
    HDMI - HDMI-out (HDMI out port available)
    Headphone Jack - External Headphone Jack (Stereo) available
    .link - iLink (Firewire) port available
    Line in Jack - No Line in Jack port available
    Line out Jack - No Line Out Jack available
    Microphone Jack - External Micrphone Jack
    TV-out - port available (S-Video port)
    VGA - VGA (External monitor port RGB port)
    Also you can connect it to your LCD TV using HDMI cable.
    Warranty is country specific and clarifies this with your local dealer but I know that all Toshiba products have 1 year standard warranty and also 1 year international warranty. you can of course expand it.

  • Some questions about Muse

    First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
    The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
    It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html).  I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
    Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
    A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
    The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
    (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident,  moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
    The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but  the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
    I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
    The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
    The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts  (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
    YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
    Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
    On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
    This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
    Is it possible to make an option of  scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
    Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
    I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
    In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
    According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
    The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
    Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
    I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
    and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>

    Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
    Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.
