Remove Keyword from Parent

In my pre-Lightroom days I did my keywording in Bridge,. At that time I organised my keywords in Parent Groups, I would now like to move my keywords out from their parents. Is this possible in either Lightroom or Bridge?

hi
If u have the Parent node with u
then u can check the children under it
Enumerate through the children n compare it with the value from textfield
Enumeration e = ParentNode.breadthFirstEnumeration();
while(e.hasMoreElements())
DFtMutableTreeNode tmpNode = (DFtMutableTreeNode) e.nextElement();
if(tmpNode.toString.equalsIgnoreCase(valuefromtextfield))
return
else
treemodel.insertNodeinto(new DFtMTreeNode("txtfieldvalue"),ParentNode,0);
hope this helps

Remove keywords from multiple pictures - how to??

REMOVING keywords from multiple images doesn't work here on Aperture 2.1.1. I select multiple pictures, remove a common keyword from the list in the Metadata inspector and... only the keyword from the picture which I selected last is being removed. All other pictures still have the keyword attached. Edit > Primary Only is not 'turned on'.
What did I miss?

Go to 'Window' > 'Show Keyword Controls'.
In the text box, write the keyword that need to be removed from all selected images and press SHIFT + ENTER.
If you use the Keyword Button Sets, you can also click on the keyword to be removed while holding down the SHIFT- key.

Removing keywords from multiple images when the keyword isn't in the list?

So, I know that the method for removing a keyword from multiple images is to select the images, type the keyword in the inspector and press Shift-Return.
However, that doesn't seem to work if the keyword I want to remove is not in the keyword database (i.e. it's not in the keyword HUD).
For example, I deleted the iPhoto keyword group from the keyword HUD because I decided I didn't like that. I've got a bunch of photos that still have keywords like "Beach (iPhoto)". Typing "Beach" Shift-Return does nothing. Typing "Beach (iPhoto)" Shift-Return does nothing.
Adding an iPhoto group back to the HUD and a child keyword of Beach and then Typing "Beach" Shift-Return works, but I can't believe that's how it's supposed to work.
Is that the only way to do this? I've got a lot of those old iPhoto keywords to remove and that's going to be a major pain... there must be a better way.

I don't know if this will help you or not but it contains the roots of what you would need to script the removal of unwanted and unlisted keywords.
-- script begins
tell application "Aperture"
  -- set the target to the "Smart beetles" album at the top level of the library.
  tell album "Smart beetles" of folder ""
    -- get a list of the images in the album.
    set x to every image version
    -- move through the images one by one, deleting and creating the appropriate keywords
    repeat with i from 1 to x's length
      tell x's item i
        -- Note. if the keyword is top level, then the parents value is "".
        delete (every keyword whose name is "Australia" and parents is "Location")
        make new keyword with properties {name:"Sydney", parents:"Location"}
      end tell
    end repeat
  end tell
end tell
-- script ends

Removing keyword from multiple images at the same time

None of the documented methods seem to work for me.
1     Select all the images. Go to Metadata > Remove Keyword [my keyword] - the keyword is only removed from the image that is selected in the batch - i.e the one that has the yellow border round it to show it's the active image.
2     Select all the images, enter [my keyword] in the Add Keyword field when Keyword Controls is visible and press Shift + Enter - does the same thing as 1 above (removes it from the active image only).
3     Select all the images, Shift Click on the keyword that I have in my Keyword Controls in the Control Bar - does the same things as 1 above.
So all these methods, which are supposed to work, do not work for me. The removal of the keyword is only applied to the image that has the yellow border showing it to be the currently active image in the selected batch - the remaining selected imaged still retain the keyword. I can remove it "one at a a time" but it would be great if I could find a solution as to why this isn't working.
Any ideas?
If it helps, I'm running Aperture 3.1.3 in OS X 10.6.8.
thanks
Alan

Based on the frequency with which this trips up users, the Aperture team is going to have to add a much stronger visual indication that "Primary Only" is active. Marching ants, anyone? Or a pink selection marquee?
At least in the Viewer when multiple Images are selected the thin white selection marquee is dropped when Primary Only is active. There is no such change in the Browser.

Can't remove keywords from multiple files

I can't believe I can't get this working.
Say I have 15 images with the same 10 keywords in every file. One of the keywords is "banana" and I want to remove it from all 15 files.
I select all the 15 files. When I do that one becomes "active" (it gets lighter gray highlight than the 14 other images).
I then go to the Keywording panel and manually remove "banana" from the list.
When I look through files to see the change all but the one that was active STILL has the "banana" keyword applied.
I have also tried selecting the 15 files and made the file without the banana keyword active and run "Sync Metadata" and removed "banana" from the "Keywords" field in the dialog box. Same thing happens. No change to the files that aren't active.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Unicorn

Simple. Don't take photos of bananas!
Actually, I believe you need to select the photos in the Grid, not in the filmstrip. Then, removing keywords should work as expected, and then when you try to remove the keyword, this keyword will be removed from all selected photos.

Remove Keyword from Filter dialog box help

When I imported my iPhoto library of about 5,000 photos Aperture created two keyword filters (visible when I open the FILTER dialog box and select "All Images" under the main Project Library. It created "iPhoto Edited" and "iPhoto Original" keywords. each of my imported iphoto photos had one of the keywords attached to them. I found originally that filtering through all images took forever - so I removed these two keywords from all of the imported iPhoto files.
Question: how do I remove these two keywords from the FILTER dialog box? Note that these two keywords do not appear in the Keyword HUD at any time.

Here is the code:
var cResponse = app.response({ cQuestion: "Enter the Month & Year of Published Ad (i.e. August 2008)", cTitle: "Published Ad"});
if (cResponse == null) app.alert("Process Cancelled");
else ConvertToPA();
function ConvertToPA() {
var size = this.getPageBox("Media"); if ((size[0] == 0) & (size[1] == 612) & (size[2] == 792) & (size[3] == 0))
{ this.addWatermarkFromFile ({bOnTop: true, nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.left , nVertAlign: app.constants.align.bottom , nHorizValue: 184, nVertValue: 12,
cDIPath: "/Macintosh HD/Users/ben/Desktop/Printer's Final PDF's/Printer's Final (Flyer Stamp).pdf"});
this.addWatermarkFromText ({cText: cResponse + " Published Ad", cFont: "Arial,Bold", nFontSize: 24, aColor: [ "G", 0.5 ], bOnTop: true,
nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.center, nHorizValue: 72, nVertAlign: app.constants.align.top, nVertValue: -42}); }; // Flyer Ad Horiz
var size = this.getPageBox("Media"); if ((size[0] == 0) & (size[1] == 792) & (size[2] == 612) & (size[3] == 0))

Removing keywords from keyword list in iPhoto

I am trying to reduce/consolidate all my keywords but don't know how to find the actual list of my keywords. The only "list" that shows up is the one that appears when I'm in the search field and click on "keyword". The reason I want to do this is because I've ended up with way too many, and not all of them show up. Also, "Help" in the toolbar doesn't respond.

Type Command + k to bring up the Keyword pane:
Click on the Edit Keywords button and you'll be able to delete, rename or create new keywords.

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).

Removing Keywords

This is really starting to bug me!!!
I have done a search on this forum about how to remove keywords from more than one image and it sort of works for me... Problem is when I select all the images (Edit - Select All) and then delete the keyword it still only removes the keyword from the first image, or the one with the thicker border around it.
Am I selecting all the images incorrectly?

Select the images and then go to "Metadata" and select "Batch Change"
Make sure you are using the "Caption and Keyword' stincil. Select it and leave it blank.
That should give you an option to remove the keywords.

Add/Remove Keywords to multiple files?

Hi Mac users!
Is there a way to automatically add and/or remove keywords from mltiple files?
First I would like to remove all the keywords from many of my files and then assign common keywords to selected files!
One can do it manually, one by one, but that would take a huge amount of time!
Is there any automatic way to do it? Perhaps with a specific application?
Thanks for your help!

Well I mis-spoke when I said they implemented what I asked for. They actually did something even better.
There's a little text-entry area at the bottom of the keyword panel. You can type keywords in here and it finds them in the list (click the little magnifying glass icon to control how it searches--I have it set to "equals" so it will only do exact matches). When you hit enter, it automatically adds the matching keyword to the files. Or if there is no match, it creates a new keyword and adds it both to the keyword list and the selected files. Use ; to add multiple new keywords at once.

Easy way to remove a keyword from select images

Is there an easy way to remove a keyword?
I want to remove a single keyword from nearly 100 images that have multiple keywords. The single keyword I want to remove exists in other images that I don't want it removed from.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Create a keyword button set and then either use the menu option to remove that keyword or the shortcut key.

Removing prev added keywords from main Query HUD

Can anybody help with this ....
I've been keywording a back-catalogue in Aperture over the last 2-3 days, mostly with a dedicated keywords I've prepared in the Keyword HUD, but also some misc ones. I can see that every keyword I've used to-date is logged in the Keyword section of the main library Query HUD, and it's packed with them.
Does anybody know how I can selectively remove applied keywords from the Query HUD list (not the Keyword HUD)?
(Hope that makes sense!!)

I see this as a bug and I've reported it as such.
If you start a Query HUD from a folder or project and then look at the keywords, it only shows keywords that exist among pictures within that folder or project.
If you start a Query HUD from "Library", however, it shows every single keyword ever entered, even if you are no longer using the keyword. This clutters up the HUD big time.

Remove all entries in sub csv list from parent csv list?

I have two csv files, one is a complete (parent) list, the other is a sub list. I want to remove all sub-list entires from the parent list. Without manually removing each entry from the parent list one at a time, is there an effecient way to remove all sub list entries from parent list in one simple effort?
Each list contains email addresses, I want to exclude the sub list from the parent list for the next mailing as they have already completed an action.
Example:
Parent list (csv1) has A, B, C, D, E
Sub list (csv2) has B, D
How can I remove B & D from Parent list in a concise action?
Thanks!

Hi smashart,
Ian has given you a method that requires manual removal of the unwanted values from the Parent list. My preference would be for a method that constructs a new sub list that includes only the items wanted, but does not affect the original parent list data.
Like Ian's method, this requires opening both the parent list and the existing sub list of addreses not wanted as separate tables in the same Numbers document.
Here's an example:
Two formulas are required.
Parent::C2, and filled down: =IF(COUNTIF('Sub 1 (have acted)' :: $A,B2)>0,"",MAX($C$1:C1)+1)
This creates the index shown in column C of Parent. This column may be hidden.
Sub 2::A2, and filled down: =IF(ROW()-1>MAX(Parent :: $C),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Parent :: $C,Parent :: $B))
This uses LOOKUP to copy the indexed addresses to Sub 2.
(Note: Close examination of the addresses in Sub 1 will show a repeated address. As can be seen, this does not affect its removal from the list in Sub 2.
Regards,
Barry

Is it possible to remove a keyword from multiple images?

There has to be some way to delete a keyword from multiple images, yet I can't figure it out. I know you can replace keywords via lift and stamp, but sometimes I may need to remove a keyword while leaving other different keywords in other images. If this cannot currently be done it needs to be fixed.

1. select the images you want to remove a keyword from
2. in the keyword field at the bottom type in the keyword you want to remove
3. hold down shift, and hit enter
Instead of assigning the keyword to the selected images, the keyword will be removed.

Can't add or remove a keyword from MULTIPLE images

Hi:
I've tried the trick of using SHIFT-RETURN (instead of RETURN) to REMOVE a keyword instead of adding it, after you type in the keyword in the Add Keyword box of the Keyword Controls window.
However that only removes the keyword from the current active image:
even if I have multiple images selected, only the current "active" image gets updated.
(Using aperture 2.1.1 on mac os x 10.5.4.)
Any pointers on what the problem might be?
(UPDATE: same problem exists in reverse: trying to ADD keyword to multiple images using one of the keyword buttons, but only currently active image is updated, the other images in my selection are NOT updated with the new keyword.)
Regards, Strathglass
Message was edited by: strathglass

Now that I discovered the problem also exists trying to ADD keywords, I was able to search for and find the answer in these fora:
The solution:
just had to select "Edit->Primary Only" so that the check mark went away from "Primary Only"!
