Searching using the Library Filter

I have two questions:
1: When I did a search for "lark", I found meadow lark, horned lark, and lark sparrow images. But, it also brought up a thousand "Clarks" nutcrackers. What is the command to bring up only images that exactly match the keyword (lark)?
2: It is very apparent that LR is capable of doing some very sophisitcated searchs using the Library Filters, but where do you find detailed descriptions of this information? (lacking a manual or any sort of context sensitive help menu)

1. Setting the Text search rule to "Contains Words" should eliminate the finding of "Clark"

Find photos using the Library Filter bar

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSAB7B303E-081D-4617-BF47-B4B8D3D49CC3.htm l

I have created smart collections to organize pics of my family. My name is Ed so, any word with the suffix "ed" or other words become part of my smart collection folder. The instructions, above, say
"Contains Words Searches for text that contains all specified alphanumeric sequences as whole words. To find photos with the keyword flower using a Contains Word search, for example, type flower."
The option "Contains Words" does not show up in my version of LR3. Where is it, then?

Using Windows 7 and LR 5, when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword. Why does the Library Filter showing pictures that do not match the query

Dan,
Here's what's going on in the catalog you sent me, "Joel & Caitlin's Wedding". There is the keyword "gwenn", which is explicitly assigned to 7 pics. But keyword "schwartz" has a number of synonyms, including "gwenn", and it is assigned to 25 pics. There is no overlap between the two sets of pics.
I discovered these two occurrences by doing Metadata > Export Keywords, opening the exported file in an editor, and then searching for "gwenn". I found two occurrences of "gwenn":
gwenn
schwartz
{gwenn}
From this, you can see that the keyword "schwartz" has 9 synonyms, of which "gwenn" is one.
The filter criterion "Keywords Contain gwenn" will match the 7 pics that are explicitly assigned the keyword "gwenn", and it will also match the 25 pics assigned the keyword "schwartz", because that keyword has a synonym "gwenn".
This illustrates the behavior I mentioned above: The criterion "Keywords contains x" will match against any of a pic's assigned keywords, any of those keywords' ancestor keywords, and any of the synonyms of the assigned keywords and their ancestors.
So LR is operating correctly here, if not in a way that's easy to understand.
It appears that you are using the synonyms of "schwartz" to represent individual members of the Schwartz family. A better way of representing family relationships is to have a parent keyword "Schwartz", with subkeywords for each family member, e.g. "Gwenn Schwartz", "Joe Schwartz", "Jane Schwartz", etc. Repeating the family name in the subkeywords has a couple of advantages. LR usually only displays the "leaf" name of a keyword, so instead of showing you just "Joe", it will show you "Joe Schwartz", helpful when there are a number of different people whose first name is "Joe". Also, if you ever export your pics to other software, it may not understand the LR hierarchy and won't show the parent keywords, so again it's more informative to see a keyword named "Joe Schwartz" rather than "Joe".

Where is the photo count in the Library Filter of Lightroom?

Look at this screenshot.
This is from an online tutorial and is a typical view of the Library Filter. Notice that there are photo counts to the right of each of the search criteria. For example, All (2 Cameras) - 487 photos. Canon EOS 5D - 404 photos, etc.
Now notice a screen shot from my iMac with Lightroom 5.2 on OX 10.9 Mavericks.
Notice that there are no photo counts after the search criteria. WHERE DID THEY GO? Or for that matter, were they ever there in this iteration of LR? I think they were but I'm not sure. Incidentally, I am aware the count will appear in the filmstrip (see the next photo) but that is not nearly as useful.
If anyone can help me get this to work as I suppose it should, please let me know.
Thanks a bunch,
Craig

Thanks Rich.
Would be helpful to all if Adobe would acknowledge such known bugs on their 10.9 Mavericks compatibility page.

The white sliders are mentioned but not the missing photo count (which was obviously reported in the beta phase). I'm sure there are more.

Image Preview grey out when using the Radial Filter

Hi,
I am trying to use the radial filter on my photo in the Lightroom 5, but my problem is that when I tried to create the eclipse with my mouse drag on my photo, the photo immediate disapper and grey out, once then, I cannot do anything with my photo
Even I tried to change other parameter for example changing the color temperature....etc., the photo is still disappearing and grey out, nothing showin in the photo display area.
The program is not hanged, it's just that the photo not displaying, I have to click the Library module and then click again the Develop module, then the photo appears again.
Is there anyone encountering this issue and share with me any solution ?
( I wonder if it's because my laptop below the Lightroom required spec, my laptop is Intel i5 2.4G with 4G RAM)
Thanks.

My sincere thanks to those trying to help me. I've found the problem and feel extraordinarily stupid. In looking at screenshots in a tutorial, I realized the box that pops up for the controls for the graduated filter was collapsed on my screen. Once I clicked the arrow and got the proper controls, it works like it should. It's been a while since I felt this dumb!! But I guess that's why they call it the Beginner's forum, eh?
Thanks again!

Removing the Library Filter

Remove the Library Filter
When you select a topic under the Keyword List and open it by clicking on the arrow the photos open with a Metadata dropdown list above it. If you the click on “none” it goes back to the complete selection. Is this normal?

I am having difficulty finding ringtones I have downloaded from my computer to my I phone 5. The individual files can be found by search on the library but there is no listing of them and have not transferred back to phone from I Tunes

I cannot find ringtones in my library that I transferred from my desktop although I can find them in a search of the library. I can't get them to transfer back to the phone from ITunes.

All the ringtones show up in I Tunes under "tones" on the left side. They also come up under the Ringtones Icon on my phone. But they are not on the ring tones list when I go to edit a contact...just the default ringtones are listed

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Uses the library to get UTL_FILE to read a excel file in PL SQL?

Good day.
Someone can give me some code that uses the library to get UTL_FILE to read a excel file in PL SQL?
I intend to use this library because I want to run a script on my machine to treat an excel file without having to make changes on the server.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Ranit's links are useful, you should read them.
Also check out the FAQ on this forum:Re: 5. How do I read or write an Excel file?
UTL_FILE is not the best choice for reading data from Excel files.
It also will not be able to read an Excel file located on your client computer. As with any PL/SQL code on the database, it can only access things that the server itself can see, so that doesn't include hacking across the network, bypassing network security, and hacking into the client computers operating system to read files directly from it's hard disk. This isn't how client server architecture is intended to work.

I used to be able to drag the numbers when using the matte filter. Now I can't. Does anyone know why or have a solution

The only way to use the matte filter is to adjust the numbers in the filters tab in the viewer. Please advise

Do you have the View Mode set to Preview?
Are you clicking the Point Control for the point you want to move before clicking on the Canvas?

InDesign crashes when using the Library

Frequently, but not every time, InDesign will crash when I use the Library to insert copy. Has anyone else experienced this? Any known bugs or fixes?
I'm using InDesign CC 2014. iMac OS X 10.9.5.

I placed the crash report on pastebin.com. Here is the link: INDD Lib - Pastebin.com

I use photoshop cs2 - When i use the sketch filter - photocopy on a jpg/psd it comes up plain white (most of the time)

I use photoshop cs2 - When i use the "sketch filter - photocopy option" on a jpg/psd it comes up plain white (most of the time). Once in a while it works.. Can anyone give me a hint on how to fix this or a hint on what I'm doing wrong.

Those filters work best when the foreground and background colors in the toolbox are different.
Try pressing the D key on your keyboard to set the defaults of foreground Black and background White and then try the Filter>Sketch>Photocopy.

I used the Nik filter collection as a trial version on Elements 12 on MacOS10.9. When the trial was up, the purchased version is not allowed to work. Any suggestions. I've uninstalled everything aand cleaned out all the NIK files from the libraries.

To Mickey: I got the 2 RAR files into one directory, extracted the part1.rar file, and in that new folder there is a file called start.html. I opened this, and followed the links on the right, from "Welcome" to "Getting Started". After all this I had the SAP Management Console, as well as the Database Manager applications created. You will find the specific instructions for setting up the MaxDB under the "Getting Started" link. After setting up the Database Manager you have to start it up with a user-id and password which was created during the set-up, and specifically link the database to the NSP system. I seem to remember that this didn't work at first, because the Database Manager shortcut does not run the program as an administrator. So run it as an administrator! I altered the shortcut's properties under the shortcut/advanced so it will always run the program as an administrator, and haven't had any problems - once you have done the "Add" procedure you may never need to re-visit the database manager.

Keyword Search using the SOUNDS_LIKE modifier, Java API

Hello guys:
Does anyone have a piece of code that shows how can I do a search, using the keyword and the SOUNDS_LIKE mod, like on the Data Manager?
I've seen the blog "Performing Free Form Searches with MDM Java API" but I'm afraid this doesn't apply (it's about free-form, as the name says)
Thanks!
Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,
maybe this piece of code helps you a bit. The most important is the static attribute SOUNDS_LIKE of the TextSearchConstraint class.
Also try to find the MDM Java Example files @ service.sap.com/installMDM . There is a complete introduction on how to search against an MDM repository which is very useful.
          // assumption:
          // you have connected to some repository which contains a field "Material Number"
          // with a session and you have already read the MainTable properties to identify
          // the MainTableID, as well as some fields yo want to read.
          // set search conditions
          Search search = new Search(<yourMainTableId>);
          String fieldname = "Material Number";
          ResultDefinition rd = new ResultDefinition(<yourMainTableId>);;
          FieldId field = <someFieldFromYourRepository>;
          rd.add(field);
          // add some additional fields you want to select here ...
          FieldSearchDimension searchDimension = new FieldSearchDimension(field);
          TextSearchConstraint searchString =     new TextSearchConstraint(materialNumber, TextSearchConstraint.SOUNDS_LIKE);
          search.addSearchItem(searchDimension, searchString);
          RetrieveLimitedRecordsCommand limitingCommand = new RetrieveLimitedRecordsCommand(<yourConnection>);
          limitingCommand.setSession(<yourSession>);
          limitingCommand.setResultDefinition(rd);
          limitingCommand.setSearch(search);
          limitingCommand.setPageSize(10);
          try {
               limitingCommand.execute();
               RecordResultSet rs = limitingCommand.getRecords();
          catch(Exception e){
               e.printStackTrace();
If you need more help, let me know
Best regards,
Martin
