Smart Collection not letting me click Save

Hello,
I have no smart collections or regular collections created.
I am trying to create a smart collection containing all the photographs with the keyword Goofy in them.
1. I click "Create new smart collection"
2. Look in: 'my photos' folder
3. Criteria; select Keywords - contains - and type in Goofy
4. In results, Match if any criteria are met and both check boxes stay selected.
5. Click Save.
When I click save, nothing happens, the window stays open and it doesnt seem like it acknowledge my click.
Suggestions?

That is odd.
I don't know what influence startup scripts have but you might check and see if you have them checked in preferences/startup scripts.
Is this on an internal dirve?  If external may have permission problems.  Just as a test close Bridge, right click on Bridge icon and choose "run as administrator".
If that does not work I am out of bullets.  Might want to try reset preferences.  Hold down Ctrl key and start Bridge.  Should get a reset window with 3 options.

    These are your options:
    1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
              Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
              Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
    2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
              Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
              Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
    3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
              Advantages: All images should be preserved.
              Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

  • My computer will not let me click on certain things, like toolbars in different programs.

    Recently my computer started acting up. It will not let me click on certain buttons as well as my URL bar in Chrome, nor things like my toolbars in some Adobe Products, but not all of them. I don't know of any changes that have been made on the computer,
    so it seems to just have started from no where. If I click around enough, it will fix itself, but it takes a while. I've rebooted numerous times and reinstalled my browser - even though the issue stems across multiple programs - to no success. 
    Also, upon restarting my computer, my menu bar at the bottom stays hidden until I ctrl+alt+del and bring up the task manager.
    Any ideas on what the problem could be?
    Thanks in advance!
    Mike

    Hi txMMiller,
    This issue doesn’t seem like a system problem.
    Please change another mouse and PS2/USB port for good measure.
    It’s also could be caused by the information in the CMOS getting corrupted, Check your motherboard manually for the position of the CMOS reset jumpers. Or you can unplug the power to your system and remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes.
    Note: Remember to go into your bios afterwards and recheck all your settings. Don't forget to set the proper date and time there too. Otherwise you could run into some problems with windows when the date and time are behind that of the time
    stamp on many of your files.
    Regards
    D. Wu

  • LR3 smart collection not updating

    I shoot for a college and I have smart collection setup to show me my best shots for each sport. There are some images that won't appear in my smart collection and I can't figure out why. All the other sports collection work fine. This collection does show me some of the images, but not all based on my criteria. Yes, I've checked that the criteria is correct. Any ideas as to why this is happeneing? How can I fix this? is this a program error or bug?

    Thank you.
    I don't see that you're doing anything wrong in the SC definition. That file should be selected.
    There are a couple of things that you might try:
    --Delete the SC and re-create it. I've seen cases where collections were working wierdly and re-doing them helped.
    --Try filtering for those things in the Grid view. You can devote two or more columns to Keywords. If you select several keywords in the same column, you get an "or" relationship. Selecting keywords in different columns gives an "and" relationship. Assuming this works, you can click the double-headed arrow at the end of the filter bar and save the filter as a preset.

  • Reading Advanced Metadata in Smart Collections, not working in Bridge CS6

    In Bridge CS5 you could make an Smart collection that were looking for: All metadata > contains > "here we add a value from a metadata only visible from the Advanced tab in File info"
    But this nolonger works in CS6.
    Although I can go to File info and see the metadata value that are visible from Advanced. But the option All metadata, clearly doesn't support the advanced metadata in the file in CS6.
    Could this be a bug in CS6?

    If any one like to try this yourself and get same or other result, please let me know!
    Otherwise this must be a bug to report to Adobe.
    I don't have CS5 installed anymore but CS6 is still present while I use Bridge CC for my daily workflow (MacPro MacOSX 10.8.5).
    I first copied 4 DNG files from my main folder to a subfolder. Those files I added a name to the IPTC extension persons name and saved.
    Checked and this name shows in the IPTC extension persons name field in Metadata panel as well as in Advanced Tab in File Info IPTC Extended Properties / IPTC4xmpExt:PersonInImage(Bag container).
    I closed the subfolder and used the smart collection icon to bring up the Find window.
    I then selected All metadata and filled in the persons name, had subfolders and non indexed already included and put the source field to the main DNG folder.
    The result was almost instant with the 4 files showing.
    I then quitted Bridge CC and started Bridge CS6
    Since I had not used this for a while and my main folder contained 4500 DNG I set the cache quality icon to embedded only. Selected the same folder and followed the same procedure as in CC.
    Naturally it took a bit longer because the files needed to be indexed first, yet after this the result was still the same, the 4 DNG files with the persons name showed in the smart collection.
    So on my behalf I can't reproduce your problem and for me it is not a bug also I'm afraid.

  • Smart collections not reading correct number of images inside

    I have an issue with smart collections for the first time. I have just set up a new workflow with 4 stages and the number counter next to the collection is counting wrong despite the images being represented in the collection. For example if I click on the smart colection I can see 10 images inside but the counter reads 3. Does anybody have this experience?
    I have optimised my cataloge, however I do have some 20,000 images inside... will this reduce the ability of LR to keep up to running speed with such smart collection operations, giving incorrect readings.
    What are best practices for image numbers and the arguement for running multiple cats. I've just tried in a fresh catalogue and the results were perfect. Is this an inherent limitation of Lightroom? I was under the impression that I could manage my whole archive and current projects under one roof, as it were.
    Thanks,
    Graeme

    I suppose it would be worth optimising the catalog, if you haven't already done so.
    Another idea, may be to make a fresh catalog and "import from another catalog" your current one, into that. This transfers pictures and keywords, collections, smart collections etc. But if there is something "structural" or "infrastructural" wrong with your live catalog, I'd expect that to get left behind by this process - since everyting should AFAIK get re-indexed after being brought in.
    Then you'd go forward with the new catalog, if successful. Doing this makes no change to your present catalog so can do no harm to try - the various pictures' source files are simply shared across both catalogs - single file referenced by both, IOW.
    One thing in your post (which I did not fully understand) suggested to me that your workflow relies at some point, on external metadata being written. If your workflow and smart collections criteria rely on the LR tracking of the status of external metadata, such as "is up to date", I believe this specific aspect has been found quite buggy and unreliable by many people: the metadata status badges etc, being sometimes rather approximate in their correspondence to reality . So if some other criterion could be found on which to base your workflow, that would probably go more smoothly . 
    However, if you do have more than one catalog pointing to just one set of photo source files, that aspect of writing metadata out, will of course be a little problematic - since the latest catalog to have written to the file will "overwrite", and the other catalog(s) will regard that same image as having been externally modified meanwhile.

  • Smart Collections Not-so-smart?

    I have recently started using smart collections to gather various pictures I have taken of works of art.  I have mutliple shots of the same art works, and I want to see all the shots at once in order to delete some and edit others.  There are several hundred files in the collection.  But each time I make any change to a file (edit or delete it), the entire collection must be re-built (perhaps just re-indexed, but, the panel goes blank it must be re-displayed).  This is time consuming and makes working my way through the collection practially impossible.  Is there something wrong, or is just the nature of smart collections?

    Thanks Curt.
    I have avoided the problem by copying all the files in my smart collection into a regular (not "smart") collection.
    I was having problems with regular collections, but I eventually solved this problem.  (You responded to my post on this issue a couple of weeks back.)  Bridge would not remember all the items in a collection after re-starting.  All the files were listed in the collection filelist, but the collection would contain only those at the beginning of the list.  I discovered the solution by examining the files that caused the problem (i.e., if the collection contained only 57 items after re-starting Bridge, I examined the 58th file named in the filelist).  The problematic files all contained apostraphes (') or hyphens (-).  Bridge (and Photoshop) allows these characters in filenames, but the filelist is a straight DOS textfile, and so filenames with these characters caused Bridge to stop reading collections files from a filelist as soon at it came across such a character.  I used batch renaming to get rid of the offending characters, and now Bridge remembers all the files in my collections.
    So, this solved my problem, but it is definitely a bug in the program that Bridge allows characters in filenames that other functions in the program can't recognize.
