Request: improve "keyword suggestions"

More than anything I use LR to help make sure that I can keep my pictures systematically in order and with relevant keywords.
One thing I have never understood is why there is no filter to avoid duplicating "suggested" keywords, that already are shown in the existing keyword set.
This only "crowds out" space for useful suggestions that are not immidiately available in the current keyword set. And I cannot see, why anyone would like to have a keyword shown twice (both as a "suggested keyword" and in the current keyword set) in stead of having more (=a better) suggested keywords.
It should be really, really, easy to fix. And i am sure people would find it very useful in their daily work if they use lots of keywords. I sometimes have almost all the keywords in my existing set duplicated as "suggested" keywords, which is unproductive.

LR2 has two boxes for entering keywords: the old big multi-line one, and a smaller one below it. Keyword suggesting, as well as the Ctrl+K shortcut, moved to the new smaller box.
They could have left keyword suggesting in the old big box too (I still prefer it - probably got used), but for some reason they didn't.

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.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.

How can I disable awesomebar search/keyword suggestions on FF 3.6?

I am on FF 3.6. I'm trying to find a way to disable the AwesomeBar search/keyword suggestions. I have gone through tools -> options -> privacy -> location bar. I have tried setting the location bar set to show only history, bookmarks, or even none, but it still shows keyword search suggestions. How can I disable this?
I have also tried from about:config, setting maxrichresults to 0. Again, that is not what I'm looking for. I want it to show history and bookmarks, but I do not want keyword search suggestions.

I'm pretty sure the poster doesn't want to disable the keyword search functionality. What they want is for keyword searches to work, but just not be displayed (or at least not displayed as the automatic first option) on the list of location bar suggestions when typing a new URL.
In their words, "I want it to show history and bookmarks, but I do not want keyword search suggestions."
That was how keyword search bookmarks worked in FF3.5, if I recall, and I too would like that behavior back. I haven't found any way to train the awesomebar to not show me keyword search bookmarks.

How can I delete keyword suggestions?

I'm just starting up with FCPX and am adding lots of keywords to clips. However it is annoyingly remembering mistyped keywords even if I have deleted them (they don't appear in the event viewer). For instance, when typing the keyword "detail" it sometimes wants to break it up into two keywords "de" and "tail". How can I remove types from keyword suggestions? In the image below I would want it to stop suggesting "da" and "de".
I am not asking how to delete the keywords from the shortcuts in the keyword editor or from the events viewer.

Keyword suggestions not working

Have upgraded v2 from 1.41 so far without any major problems. However, the keyword suggestions from recent values (autofill) doesn't work with newly applied or old keywords. The box in Catalog Settings is ticked. Should I click on Clear All Suggestion Lists and start again or will that make matters worse in some way? Any help gratefully received.

LR2 has two boxes for entering keywords: the old big multi-line one, and a smaller one below it. Keyword suggesting, as well as the Ctrl+K shortcut, moved to the new smaller box.
They could have left keyword suggesting in the old big box too (I still prefer it - probably got used), but for some reason they didn't.

Lightroom 3 keyword suggestions

It seems that Lightrrom 3 keyword suggestions aren't, well, suggestions any more, as they were in Lightroom 2. Can I revert the behaviour back?
Let me give you a real example. I take pictures with Bob in them. Bob is often with Suzie. In Lightroom 2 if I added the keyword "Bob" to a picture it would recommend "Suzie", which saved me some typing.
No longer in Lightroom 3 - it seems to just give me a list of recent keywords - I'm not actually sure how it differs from the 'Recent Keywords' set displayed immediately below. Any ideas?
Many thanks
Tom

I agree, in version 2 the suggestions in my experience were usually meaningful. It was particularly so with extended family photos where if I entered a name then LR2 would come up with keyword suggestions such as spouse/childrens names. In my nature or landscape photography LR2 would come up with useful related suggestions from previously entered images. eg. If I typed "pelican" LR2 would suggest items such as "bird", "beach", "flight", "waterbird", "sea", "water" etc. This feature made keywording effortless when adding a number of keywords
Now it is as good as useless. The keywords suggested bear little or no relevance to the first keywords selected. Keywording is tedious again. In my opinion this amounts to a bug and I hope that our friends at Adobe both listen and rectify it soon.
Please can someone from Adobe comment on this.

Nokia 5310 Alarm Feature Request/Improvement

Hi,
I started using the Alarm with my Nokia recently. As alarm tone i selected a song. Unfortunatly the alarm switches itself off after 1 min? Can this be changed. It quite annoying if you sleep deep and cant hear the alarm or want to keep listening to the song while waking up.
It would be nice to have the alarm keep running. Or even make it play a playlist.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Not doable, the phone will just repeat the alert tone when snoozed.

Improved keywording

Hi,
These are some requests/suggestions:
Please include a spell check for keywords (and other fields such as captions, etc.) on Windows format,
Please improve the keyword manager to make it easier to edit and add keywords, including:
ability to recognize an existing keyword's location in a heirachy when importing new keywords from an external file, (and if the keyword appears more than once, Lightroom could ask for confirmation, e.g. if "blue" appears under "color" and "mood", Lightoom will ask if whether the new keyword is under "color" or "mood" or both, or to create a new keyword. (similar to Timothy Armes' Keyword Master Plugin)
ability to recognise existing synonyms when importing new keywords and ask for confirmation whether to apply main keyword or create a new one
improve sorting capability (perhaps a separate window? for keyword management, with a structure similar to OS file management systems, i.e. two panes, left one with higher level keywords, right panel with contents of selected keyword)
increase number of words that can be held in a keyword set (just a nice-to have)
Spell checker (for all metadata!)
Thanks!
Andy

Andy,
I agree with all your suggestions for Keywords as well as adding additional search capabilities as specified many times on this forum.
As far as the spell-check is concerned, I have seen no indication that it is coming anytime soon for the PC so I use a utility downloaded from "spellcheckanywhere.com". Not sure if it is feasible to use for Keywords (as far as consuming time) as it requires a pop-up window to do the check - but for captions I find it works quite well. I assigned F12 as the hotkey. I have no affiliation with this utility other than being a user. It is not optimal, but it might be a short-term solution to your need. I am sure there are other equally qualified utilities as well.

Feature request: Better keywording options

There appears to be no improvements in keywording otpions in LR4b.
How about:
Larger panels of suggested keywords. (could be configuarable in options, like the number of recent files option in PS)
Larger numbers of keywords in a set.
Buttons to apply a complete set with one click.
Put the keywording tools,( ie the same panels as in library module), in the import dialogue.

Hi Deepak
Thanks for your response. Don't take this the wrong way and please don't feel like I'm shooting the messenger here, but honestly speaking I think rtf *and* fdr format compatibility should be in your frontlog considering you are making a version 1 product that's trying to compete or at least compliment industry standard tools!
Having only fdx compatibility is like Office 2007/2010 only having .docx with no backwards compatibility for legacy formats - it renders the tool useless in the eyes of many potential customers. It great to push new and more open formatting standards but there must, must, must be legacy support too - I mean you already support import of rtf and fdr so it's nuts that it doesn't go out that way too!
I have found that having .txt and .pdf as a bridge for the older software tends to be an inefficient workaround. There are always occasional formatting errors that crop up due to the use of some type of special character that isn't translated properly in the conversion and therefore there is always a need to spend an additional 15-20 minutes re-checking entire scripts to make sure there are no problems before sharing the material to a colleague or client who either cannot afford to or hasn't bothered to upgrade to Final Draft 8 (or Adobe Story ).
That's just my two cents but I'm sure that many people would agree with me that this small update should be a priority to make AS (sorry, I've gone an abbreviated another one of your products - doh!) a more appealing alternative to the tools people may have been used to in the past.
Hope you take this pledge into serious consideration for your next upcoming update!
Thanks,
Kaush

Improve Query Suggestions Load time

How can I improve load time for Pre Query Suggestions on search home page when user start typing ??
I notice it was slow in loading when I hit first time in the morning so I try to warm up by adding
""http://SiteName/_api/search/suggest?querytext='sharepoint' ""
in to warm up script but even during the day time after hitting few times it is slower some times . Any reason ?
Do you think moving Query Component to WFE will do any help here?
Pleas let me know - Thanks .

Hi,
Query Suggestions should work at a high level overview is:
• You issue a query within a Search Center site and get results..
• When you hover over or click a result.. this gets stored as a “RecordPageClick” method and will be stored in the Web Applications W3WP process…
• Every five minutes ( I believe ) this W3WP will flush these Recorded Page Clicks and pass them over to the Search Proxy…
• This will then store them in a table in the SSA ( Search Service Application ) Admin DB
• By default, once a day, there is a timer job, Prepare Query Suggestions, that will run
• It does a check to see if the same term has been queried for and clicked at least 6 times and then will move them to another table in the same DB..
• If there are successful queries\clicks > 6 times for a term, and they move to the appropriate table, then when you start to type a word, like “share”
• This will fire a “method” over to the Search proxy servers called “GetQuerySuggestions” and will check that Admin DB to see if they have any matches..
• If so, then it will show up in your Search Box as like “SharePoint” for a suggestion…
Other components involved with the Query Suggestions:
Timer Jobs
Prepare query suggestions                   Daily
Query Classification Dictionary Update for Search Application Search Service Application       Minutes
Query Logging                    Minutes
Database
MSSQLogQuerySuggestion (SearchDB) This gets cleaned up when we run the timer job
MSSQLogQueryString (SearchDB) Info on the Query String
MSSQLogSearchCounts (SearchDB) Info on the click counts
MSSQLogQuerySuggestion Looks like this may be where the hits for suggestions are stored
So the issue might related to timer job, database, connection between SharePoint server and SQL server. There is a similar case caused by DistributedCache.
If you move query component on to another sever, this may improve the process related to Search service, however, it may affect the performance due to networking.
Please collect verbose ULS log per steps below:
Enable Verbose logging via Central Admin> Monitoring> Reporting>Configure diagnostic logging(You can simply set all the categories with Verbose level and I can filter myself).
Reproduce the issue(Try to remove SSRS).
Record the time and get a capture of the error message(including the correlation ID if there is). Collect the log file which is by default located in the folder: <C:\Program files\common files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\LOGS>.
Stop verbose logging.

Feature request: improve audio (track) fx workflow

Hey, this might have been suggested before but I just keep running into these limitations on an almost daily basis so thought I'd just add my request.
First of all, I really like having the option to have FX on an audio track (as opposed to on a per-clip basis). But it misses some basic workflow functionality.
1. We should be able to drag and drop FX between the slots, so we can change the order of processing.
2. we should be able to copy and paste effects between tracks and sequences. Very often I'll be making something like 5 variations on a spot and dialed in some compression on a voice-over in one sequence. But there's no way to copy these settings to the other 4 sequences (except to copy the entire sequence and then copy and paste back the correct video from the other sequences ... not ideal)
3. We need the ability to save and recall user presets for the audio FX and whole FX chains so we can re-use these throughout sequences and projects.
Hopefully the next update could add some of this much needed functionality and make Premiere Pro even better! (it's come a long way recently )

I'm just writing to say that you're not alone. I put in these feature requests a second time about ten minutes after I noticed they were missing from CS6.
The audio is getting so good in Pr, there's almost no need to go to Au or another DAW for mixing. But, they need to fix a few things, like the suggestions you and I made.
There are some bugs that need fixing as well. I've never gotten the noise reducer to work (I'm on Mac.), and some of the GUIs in CC are messed up for third-party VST plug-ins that work fine in CS6.
Dragging the order of FX would be great. So, would, option-dragging or copy/paste to make copies from one track to another.
And, the absence of having an ability to save audio presets is a major oversight. When I (often) start a new sequence whose settings differ from the original, I have to manually apply the same track effects, and then note settings manually from the first instance and apply the settings to the second instance in the new Sequence. Very time consuming.
Here's my list of feature requests from 4-25-12:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/995108
You'll see that a lot of them have been implemented.

Request: Make Keyword 'function' Optional for Parameterless/Void Functions

Say I have function
doJob (startThis:function(), whenDone:function()) When I am using this function doJob(), it would be nice to be able to do
doJob( {code_to_do_something}, {code_to_do_something});
// instead of
doJob( function(){code_to_do_something}, function(){code_to_do_something});Or be able to define a parameterless void function as
var hello = {println ("Hello")}; and invoke that function using form
hello();This would eliminate some verbosity introduced by the function keyword.

@PhiLho
Yes, to you just 10 character is not a big deal. But to the rest of us who have to keep repeating those 10 chars over and over in larger applications it does become a big deal.
Your example of ar foo = {fooCall("Stuff"}; is misplaced. Why would you trap a non-void function call inside a void fn? If fooCall returns something then obviously the compiler would try to return via the calling function and this is a problem (as you point out) regardless of what the syntax is.
My suggestion is more toward bringing sensible syntax shortcut/sugar in the language.

Feature request: better keyword management tool

I'm re-organizing my keywords and I think that LR needs some work in keyword management and DAM features.
I miss something like separate keyword management tool which would have two keyword lists, which would work a bit like spatial file management in Os X finder.
Easily manage keyword hierarchy. For example: browse list and and be able to easily select keywords (now it's OK) and drag and drop them to under a new keyword (almost ok, but sometimes cumbersome, if one wants to move keyword which is/are at the bottom of the long keyword list to keyword which is at the top of the list).

KKuja wrote:

Dang near impossible once you have a lot of keywords. A work-around for me has been to filter keywords first to reduce the number of keywords in the list, then do the drag 'n drop. At a minimum, a change to scroll the list when you're searching for a drop target at a variable rate that depends on mouse position, or even something simple like slowing it down when the alt key is pressed.
+1 vote - better keyword management.
Something else that may help you in the mean time: KeywordConsolidator.

Bridge Searches and Keyword suggestions

In Bridge CS3, changing the search target, eg from filename to keyword, dumps any search items already entered and replaces it with 'Enter Text'. This is seriously irritating if you have already entered the search string and have the wrong field selected.
Please leave the search text alone when changing field!
And please allow keyboard shortcuts for selecting search field criteria - eg for filename or keyword searches.
And please explain which search goes with which history state - a tooltip hint would be enough. A list full of 'search results' doesn't help much.
And please can list of keywords etc be sensitive to letter keys to jump and cycle through keywords starting with that letter. Working with very long keyword lists can be very tedious - especially when new keywords are always created at the top of the list even when the original insertion point was at the target position.

My bridge doesn't let me work hierarchly. There is not the green arrow at the bottom to do so, nor a box to run "search"
Does anybody know how to solve this?
Thank you

IPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down.Have done system restore but no improvement. Suggestions welcome.

iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.

Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
Follow these steps:
iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue.
