The disappearing keyword shortcuts.

Does anybody know what causes the keyword shortcuts to disappear from the "quick groups"?
This has happened to me on multiple occasions. I have used the shortcut option for keywords, because I find it very useful when I quickly group photos by keyword. Every so often, random shortcuts are removed from my list, and I have to re-enter them. I have not been able to find any correlation to any specific action, which causes this.
I have the latest version of iPhoto, 9.1.1. and the latest version of the OS. Plenty of memory also. One correlation is when iPhoto crashes, which I report to Apple every time, it is almost for certain one of the shortcuts will disappear. Could this be a memory leak issue?
Anybody else experiencing this problem? I am getting very frustrated with this.

It's not a memory leak as the keywords and their placement in the Keyword pane are kept in the iPhoto library database(s).
You can drag the keywords up from the general grouping below the Quickgroup area into the Quickgroup to restock those you want to be able to use key strokes for.
I believe that's happened to be occasionally. Don't remember as I just drag the keywords I want to use back up to the Quickgroup area and go on about my work.

  • Disappearing Keywords anyone?

    As though the other FCP X problems were not enough, I've been struggling recently with disappearing keywords.
    Sometimes, when I click on the thin blue line on a clip in thumbnail view, the keyword editor opens but there are (apparently) no keywords.
    However, after much anguish, I've discovered that the keywords have been there all along.
    Just click the revealing triangle to the left of the clip details in list view and your keywords will drop down into view. If you double-click the keywords here, they'll show up in the keyword editor.
    I presume this is yet another bug - can anyone else reproduce the problem of keywords not appearing when you click the thin blue line in thumbnail view?
    Happy days!
    Andy

    I should mention that when the keywords appeared in the event browser in list view, sometimes there were two sets of keywords for one clip (presumably because when I found them missing and added more, it just added another set).
    If you right click on one set of keywords and select remove all keywords, that's what you'll get - ALL the keywords for that clip will go.
    If you select one set of keywords and use the keyboard shortcut: ctrl + 0, only the selected set will go (even though ctrl + 0 is the shortcut indicated when you right click) - (another bug?) making it easy to weed-out the ones you don't want.
    What a mine of information I am today - I feel so worthy!
    Andy
    PS - Single-click on the keywords in the event browser list view, not double-click (sorry).

  • Anyone lose their keyword shortcuts?

    After updating to 1.1, I lost all my keyword shortcuts at the bottom of the window. It is now back to factory default. Anyone else have this issue?

    Were your custom keywords button sets still there within the preset window & popup menu but you had to rechoose them to make them visible?

    in the new Pages 5.0, what is the page break shortcut key (it used to be the Fn + enter). I cannot find the (new) key as indicated on the drop down menu. Please help.

    Hi Bruce and fruhulda,
    ok, I found the keyboard viewer, it only shows the traditional symbol 'return'.  something like a sideway u-turn continued with the arrow under.  This is the Canadian or US keyboard. 
    btw thanks for your suggestion.

  • Whenever I try to open an app on my Mac it just bounces on my dock and then settles. At first it bounced the disappeared, and then I had to reinstall it, but now it just bounces. Any help?

    Try one or more of the following:
    > Restart Your Computer
    > Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
    > Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
    > Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
    In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer.

  • Updating the photo count for multiple locations of the same keyword

    Is it possible to use a keyword on a photo but have it update other copies of the same keyword in lightroom 2.4? I would like to have linked keywords if this is possible.
    To help understand this better, here is a rough example or what I would like to do.
    I want a generic list of players which in its entirety will contain thousands of names. Then I also want to break those players down into their respective teams/leagues that they played on. This will make the list of players easier to manage when I only have to deal with one team at a time. I also want to seperate by seasons but that is too much for this example. So in my example I have a player who has played in both the AHL and NHL (Daniel Briere).
    Now when I am going through my Flyers photos, I want to keyword a Briere photo. So I drag over the NHL/Philadelphia Flyers/Briere, Daniel keyword. So this gives that keyword a count of 1. I also would like the Briere keyword under Players get updated with a 1. Right now, it won't. How can I link those two? Also, when I go into my Phantoms photos, I see another picture of Briere, I would want to drag over the Teams/AHL/Philadelphia Phantoms/ Briere, Daniel keyword. This would in return update that keyword with a count of 1 and update the Players/Briere, Daniel keyword with a 2 since I now have a single NHL and a single AHL photo of him. Of course I need this behavior to be hierarchial. So if I have a photo of Briere in street clothes, I would want to use the Players/Briere, Daniel keyword. This would then give me a count of 3 but it won't updated the values in NHL and AHL keywords since the Players keyword is in a higher/different location.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks,
    Bob
    P.S. If I made this too confusing, please let me know and I'll try to explain better.
    example of what my keyword list would look like:
    Players
        Briere, Daniel
    Teams
        NHL
            Philadelphia Flyers
                Briere, Daniel
        AHL
            Philadelphia Phantoms
                Briere, Daniel

    You cannot link keywords as you want. Each of those keywords is independent - they just share the same text.
    You can create smart collections which group all occurrences of that name. This is obviously duplication, so you would do it only when you need.
    I suggest you don't try to get too clever with using your keyword hierarchy to represent teams. Instead, use one keyword per individual person, a separate one for each team.You could have a top level keyword teams, and another for people, but don't structure things as you suggest as it leads to confusion about people. When you need to look at one team, use a smart collection that looks for images with Team X, Shot in year Y - the Library Filter  will then break the items down by keyword.

  • How can I get the Voiceover Keyboard shortcuts to show up in a form in which I can copy

    I have low vision & have been trying to learn to use Voiceover on both my iPhone & my Mac mini for months. Very frustrating.
    1. How can I get the Voiceover keyboard shortcut commans to show up in a form in which I can copy & paste them into a pages document so I can print it out & use for quick reference?? The one that shows up when I press VO +HH won't let me copy & paste it, & it won't show up in the Help section no matter what subject I enter. The help topics shown do not correlate with the topics I'm entering. why is that??
    2. Please make the cursor able to be wider, like in the software program Zoomtext, that I used when I had a PC. The razor-thin cursor (in this text box!) in Pages is impossible for me to see.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    You should be able to copy them from there.

  • Is it possible to make the entire keywords hierachy export in the metadata?

    I have created the following Keyword hierarchy in Aperture:
    Location, Europe, Eastern Europe, Croatia, Dalmatia, Split
    In Aperture I only need to add the bottom level 'Split' as a keyword and when I use the search function and insert a word from any of the higher levels (e.g. Croatia) It finds my picture.
    My problem is that when I export that file the Keywords that get exported in the metadata is only the bottom level I first entered (ie Split). This is no use to me when using the files outside of aperture as I may still want to search at the higher levels.
    Is there anyway to make the entire relevant keyword hierarchy be exported within the metadata without have to go back and add all the levels myself?

    Unless things have changes, keywords are not hierarchical at all as a standard. The hierarchy in Ap is used just for managing keyword purposes only.
    So it works within Ap but not when exported. You will have to assign multiple keywords or reestablish similar scheme in whatever other app that your are exporting the image to.

  • How to reference a class without using the new keyword

    I need to access some information from a class using the getter, but I don't want to use the new keyword because it will erase the information in the class. How can I reference the class without using the new keyword.
    ContactInfo c = new ContactInfo(); // problem is here because it erases the info in the class
    c.getFirstName();

    Using new does not erase anything. There's nothing to erase. It's brand new. It creates a new instance, and whatever that constructor puts in there, is there. If you then change the contents of that instance, and you want to see them, you have to have maintained a reference to it somewhere, and access that instance's state through that reference.
    As already stated, you seem to be confused between class and instance, at the very least.
    Run this. Study the output carefully. Make sure you understand why you see what you do. Then, if you're still confused, try to rephrase your question in a way that makes some sense based on what you've observed.
    (And not that accessing a class (static) member through a reference, like foo1.getNumFoos() is syntactically legal, but is bad form, since it looks like you're accessing an instance (non-static) member. I do it here just for demonstration purposes.)
    public class Foo {
      private static int numFoos; // class variable
      private int x; // instance varaible
      public Foo(int x) {
        this.x = x;
        numFoos++;
      // class method
      public static int getNumFoos() {
        return numFoos;
      // instance method 
      public int getX() {
        return x;
      public static void main (String[] args) {
        System.out.println ("Foo.numFoos is " + Foo.getNumFoos ());
        System.out.println ();
        Foo foo1 = new Foo(42);
        System.out.println ("Foo.numFoos is " + Foo.getNumFoos ());
        System.out.println ("foo1.numFoos is " + foo1.getNumFoos ());
        System.out.println ("foo1.x is " + foo1.getX ());
        System.out.println ();
        Foo foo2 = new Foo(666);
        System.out.println ("Foo.numFoos is " + Foo.getNumFoos ());
        System.out.println ("foo1.numFoos is " + foo1.getNumFoos ());
        System.out.println ("foo1.x is " + foo1.getX ());
        System.out.println ("foo2.numFoos is " + foo2.getNumFoos ());
        System.out.println ("foo2.x is " + foo2.getX ());
        System.out.println ();
    }

  • I would like to see the added keywords under the picture like iPhoto does it. Is that possible? I cannot find an answer

    I would like to see the added keywords under the picture like iPhoto does it. Is that possible? I cannot find an answer in Aperture 3.2.1

    Hello Wontolla, I meant the Aperture main menu, there is a sub menu "View", see the Screenshot:
    Set all flags in the Metadata Display submenu as I did,  to show Metadata in Viewer and Browser, and then select "Customize"
    Pick the Metadata fields you want to display for all views.
    Make sure, that "Contents -> Keywords" is checked.

  • I used to give my photo's keywords. Most of the time I have several photo's for the same keyword and it was possible to select all those photo's and give them the keyword in one move. Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and I find it very annoying.

    Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
    See:                  Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
    Uncheck the little square button with the "1".

    Delete the shortcut and make a new one. The 'real' application will probably be fine if you launch it from the Start/Programs menu.

  • Using the LIKE keyword in a SQL query

    Does anyone have an example using the Database Connectivity Execute Query vi and the LIKE keyword? I would like to do something like:
    SELECT TestNum, TestType FROM tests WHERE DeviceType ='Paul_AF125_Ver1' AND DeviceID = 'Test1' AND (TestType LIKE "Cyclic Voltammetry*")
    It works fine if I say LIKE "Cyclic Voltammetry" (without the *) but if I put the * in there, I get no records.
    I'm using Microsofts SQL Server Desktop Engine (comes with Access).
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Paul-
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments. I don't have an example program, but I did find some information for you.
    LIKE - similar to.
    Using the LIKE command, you can use the wildcard symbol %. To find names starting with J : names LIKE 'J%'; Ending in s ? name LIKE '%S'; You can use more than one % charactor too : names LIKE '%sam%'; Also, LIKE is not case sensitive.
    What you have written, may work if you change the wildcard syntax from * to %.

  • Warning  on use of the 'subtable' keyword

    I have previously given advice on this list about the use of the "subtable" keyword which could lead to kern pairs being unavailable. If you have used this keyword, please review the following.
    Background.
    Class pairs in a kern feature are compiled as a lookup with a single subtable. The representation of the class pairs for a subtable looks like a big Excel spreadsheet, with all the left side pairs as the titles of the rows, and all the right-side pairs as the titles of the columns, and the kern pair values in the fields. As a result, every left side pair you name is kerned against every right side pair you name. Obviously, most of the fields are 0; there are non-zero values only where you specified a class pair kern value. Less obviously, all glyphs not named in a right side class are automatically assigned to right side class 0. This means that every left side class in the subtable is kerned against every glyph in the font ( with most of the kern values being 0).
    If you have a lot of left and right side class pairs, this subtable can get so large some of the offset values in the compiled lookup exceed the limit of 64K, and the lookup can't be built. The 'subtable' keyword is provided to help with this problem. It forces the class pair lookup to start a new subtable at the point where you put the 'subtable' keyword. If you have any degree of order in your class kern pair definitions, each of the subtables will then have fewer left and right classes, and the overall size of the lookup is smaller.
    My advice on using this keyword is:
    a) use it only if you have to because of a size oveflow problem, and
    b) there is not much use in trying to be smart about where you put it; it is usually simplest to put the first keyword more or less in the middle of the list of the class kern pairs. If this does not shrink the kern lookup enough, then put another 'subtable' keyword in the middle of each half of the class kern pair list, and so on.
    However, I omitted an important warning:
    c) any left side class can be used only within a single subtable.
    This is because each left side class in a subtable is by definition kerned against every right side class, and hence every glyph in the font because of class 0. It follows that a program looking for a kern pair will never look past the first subtable with a left side class containing the left side glyph. Moral: any left side class can be used only within a single subtable. If you put kern class pairs with that left side class in a subsequent subtable ( e.g; after a subtable break), those kern class pairs will never be seen by any program.
    My thanks to Karsten Luecke, whose struggle with an exanple of this problem showed that my previous advice on this list was incomplete.
