To be able to Export Keyword Tags to Excel or as a CSF file

I am using PSE 10 in Windows 7 environment. Have thousands of photos and hundreds of Keyword tags and many Categories and Sub-Categories.
It would be nice to have these Tags & Categoris names in an Excel file (or, comma separated text file) that I can use to easily see what Tags I have so that I don't create new tags with slightly different names. Such an easy-to-access and mange Excel file will be very helpful, I think, to the overall cration and management of Tags.
I have done quite a bit of research on the web and also in PSE forum, but have not found any ways to do this.
Is this possible? Sure would appreciate any help and ideas.
Thank you so much.

Thank you all for your help. I have solved my problem - with your help. Solution was simple:
Save the Keyword Tags as the XML file from the drop down arrow options of the Keyword Tags. Saved it on desktop - but I guess you can save it anywhere you want. Opened MS Excel. Click File/ Open and Selected the XML file saved earlier. In the Dialogue Box that opens up, selected the "As an XML table" option. In the next dialogue box, showing "The specified XML source does not refer to a schema. Excel will create schema based on the XML source data.", clicked OK button.
Excel now creates the table and it filles the schema as the Column names. I deleted the columns that I don't need - most of these are values expressed in hex or some other numbering system. I kept FIVE columns that have the Keyword Category and the Tags names -
tagset-item-value-name
tagset-item-value-name3
tagset-item-value-note
tagset-item-value-name6
tagset-item-value-note8
Now I can play with them as I need - sort, resquence, print, etc.
Hope this helps others. And, again, thank you for your help.

HTTP 500 - Internal server error - not able to Export BI report to Excel

Hi,
We just upgraded to HFM 9.3.1.4. Unfortunately we are not able to Export BI report to Excel (in Workspace and in BI Studio). We receive the error message "HTTP 500 - Internal server error" (this worked fine in 411).
We are able to preview in PDF and HTML, but not Export to Excel. We also just restarted the services for workspace and web analysis, but still the same issue.
Anyone have any idea what is wrong?
Thanks for your help!

Will Export Keyword Tags

Hello,
I am using Lightroom 2.6 and have noticed what seems to be a new option in Keyword Tags, i.e. Will Export. I cannot find any reference to this through Lightroom help or The Adobe Lightrooom 2 Book. Can anyone tell me what this tag does?
Thanks.

"When you select photos that contain keyword tags with synonyms, the synonyms appear in the Keywording panel when Keyword Tags > Will Export is selected."
Here is the reference: Lightroom Help

Not able to export report headers to Excel

This is requirement from a client. They want to export the reports only to Excel and they want the report header to be displayed in excel worksheet.
I tried in two ways. 1) Save to My computer as Excel in WebI and 2) Create a view in Excel connecting to WebI using Live Office.
But in both attempt I am not able to get the report header. My interest to get report header is because i have some UserResponse functions used in report header. I can create a header in Excel and update the data using live office. But I cant get the UserResponse function in Excel header if i create without help of WebI.
So any solutions for this problem.
Thanks
Raghu

I realized that I can put a block in WebI and then I can pull that in excel alongside of static header, after putting the question.
My interest to know whether it is by design in XI 3.0 or it is an issue. But by the replies it seems to me like it is by design.
@Anis: I can't go for header as part of Body. Because this report is viewed in Web by many other users. I can't have separate report for Live office, it is a restriction for me. If I use the header in body, it wont look good I guess.

Not able to export context data to excel in NWDS 7.1

Hi all,
We have a requirement wherein I need to export data from a local context node to an excel file. I am using jxl.jar for this purpose.
I am using a FileDownload UI element to generate the excel. I am working with NWDS 7.1 EhP1.
I am using the following code :
public void excel_download( )
     IWDCachedWebResource cachedExcelResource = null;
     String fileName = "TestExcel.xls";
     File f = new File(fileName);
     WritableWorkbook workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(f);
     FileInputStream excelCSVFile = new FileInputStream(f);
     cachedExcelResource =getCachedWebResource(excelCSVFile,fileName,WDWebResourceType.getWebResourceType("xls","application/ms-excel"));
     wdContext.currentContextElement().setResource(cachedExcelResource);
     workbook.close();
     f.delete();
private IWDCachedWebResource getCachedWebResource(InputStream file, String name, WDWebResourceType type)
     IWDCachedWebResource cachedWebResource = null;
     if (file != null)
          cachedWebResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(file, type);
          cachedWebResource.setResourceName(name);
     return cachedWebResource;
When I try to download the data to excel I am getting the following error:
you must flush before accessing the resource content
But when I deploy the application using NWDS2004s it works perfectly.
Can anyone shed some light on why this may be happening? Am I missing something? Has it got anything to do with the NWDS version?
Thanks and Regards,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
      The above code is deprecated :-
Replace that with this piece of code -->
File f = new File(fileName);
WritableWorkbook workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(f);
FileInputStream excelCSVFile = new FileInputStream(f);
IWDResource cachedExcelResource = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(excelCSVFile, "FileName.xls", WDWebResourceType.XLS, false);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setResource(cachedExcelResource);
cachedExcelResource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.ALLOW_SAVE.ordinal());
WDFileDownloadBehaviour --> Will determine how you would like to download your file.
Hope this helps !!!
Cheers,
Brian.

How to use keyword tags effectively in pse 8

No matter what I try, have not been able to make keyword tags work effectively. Have followed all directions from books and others. Even customer support was not able to help.
The problem is that tagged photos will not show up by themselves. All other photos in the catalog open at the same time. The tagged photos sometimes show a blue circle with a white check mark through it. All the other photos show a red circle with a slash accross it in the upper left hand corner of the photos.
Customer support says that that is how the program works. I don't believe it!
Wold uninstalling and reinstalling pse 8 work?
Any other suggestions?

Would you consider suggesting a work-flow for someone who is just starting out with Organizer? (As an aside, if you are familiar with Picasa, would you give your opinion about the relative merits of Picasa and PSE Organizer?)
In all honesty, I can longer recommend the Organizer -- it's buggy, slow, hard to use, and Adobe shows little inclination for fixing bugs that have been around since PSE 6 or earlier. (I use it because I have large catalogs dating back to Photoshop Album 1.) See my review:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R332BXA5A70OL9/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
As for alternatives: At the low end, many people are satisfied with the free or almost-free programs: iPhoto, Picasa, Windows Live Photo Gallery (which in my opinion is better than iPhoto). These are fast and easier to use than PSE and can handle thousands of photos. For more sophisticated users with larger catalogs, many people like Lightroom, Aperture, Imatch, Idimager, and ACDsee Pro.

Keyword tag file for export

Is there a keyword tag file I can export to use in Lightroom?
Thanks, Doug Smith

I tried that
What did you try?
PE only gives me the option of writing an .xml file
I already explained there are several ways to go here, and so I can't understand why you feel the only option is writing an .xml file (which, by the way, is not one I am familiar with)
It's like the fact that LR won't recognize my 6,000+ .png files,
It's like the fact? Oh.
Lightroom does not recognize .png files. They cannot be imported into Lightroom. You need to convert them to .jpg or .tif or .psd if you want them to be indexed in Lightroom. Which of course is a different issue than the one I thought we were addressing.

Private keyword tags with synonyms exported?

With Lightroom 3.4.1, is there a known issue with private keyword tags being exported? I have some tags that have "Include on Export" unchecked, and I never check "Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy." Even so, I've seen them in the exported files. It seems to be ones that have Synonyms.

An asterisk in that view means that you have multiple images selected, and that keyword (or synonym) is defined only for some of them.
If it is synonyms that are being exported, it is because the keyword settings say to suppress exported the keyword, but to export the synonym. There are checkboxes that control this, though two of them are sub checkboxes only available when the first is enabled.
Note that first-class non-synonym keywords that happen to match a synonym defined in another keyword are unrelated.

Is there any way to export or save my Lightroom 5 presets and keywords/tags to an external storage drive prior to a program and data wipe due to a corrupt registry? Thanks.

Look at these instructions for how to move your LR to a new computer and copy things to a backup device until your computer is reformatted and you reinstall LR:

Web module: exporting keywords to a template not possible?

I want to use the web module to generate my photoblog, however I need to be able to export the keywords or collections used to tag each image. The dialog box for changing the image caption allows you to export all sorts of EXIF and IPTC metadata but not the lightroom keywords.
I've already made a template for my website but the generated xml file produced by lightroom for the transformer XSLT script to process seems to have no information about the image keywords in it so I'm stuck.
I know the keywords are embedded into the actual jpegs that are exported but extracting them would be more effort than its worth, I dont want to have to run more software after exporting from the web module just to get the keywords.
Any ideas?

Looking at the XMP for a recent file, the keywords are stored as follows
     castle
     cloghan castle
     couple
     matrimony
     september
     wedding
So you'd need to figure out how to extract them from there.

Problem Exporting Keywords in Lightroom 5

I recently converted from Lightroom 4 to 5. I just noticed that not all my keywords are exported to my jpeg file. For example I have the following keywords in Lightroom; Horizontal, Landscape, National Forest, Scenic. My exported jpeg has only the keyword Landscape.
In the Library Module, when I click on the dropdown Keyword Tags and select "Will Export", I only see the keyword Landscape. I'm not sure what this "feature" is all about. Can someone explain it to me. I need to be able to export all keywords.
This problem seems to be consistent and I have a test file set up so I can repeat the problem. Only certain keywords are not exported.

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. After checking some other keywords, I think this problem involves a minority of my keywords. I tracked the problem down to October 12, 2013. That was the day I installed Lightroom 5. Something must have happened in the catalog conversion.
I'll try exporting the keywords to see if I can identify the problem keywords.
Thanks again!!!

Keyword Tags Won't Delete

I am using Lightroom 1.4.1 on a Vista platform. When I delete keyword tags they disappear temporarily, only to reappear later. I have tried the Purge Unused Keywords function and I have tried to right click the keyword and select Delete. In all cases they seem to be deleted, but reappear later. I have removed the keywords in question from any photos they were applied to, so all the keywords that I'm trying to delete show 0 images. Here is a sample of the keywords: <component; <place; <worklist. Could the "<" sign in the keyword name be the problem? I have tried to rename the keywords, thus removing the "<" from the name, but they still keep coming back. Some more info which may be important in resolving this. These keyword names appear to have been created by Lightroom itself of Photoshop CS3 (V10.0). I originally had keywords enclosed in brackets, eg <place>. When I edited the images with the Develop module and Photoshop, once I returned to the Library module the edited image would have the system created keyword, eg <place (without the closing bracket). In other words I now had two keywords for the same thing: <place> and <place.

Tried the throw away top level key word idea as you suggested, but it didn't resolve the problem. I also deleted the 'dud' keywords from Bridge and Windows Photo Gallery and then went back to Lr and tried the suggestion again. It still didn't work. There are 3 dud keywords that keep reappearing in Windows Photo Gallery, despite having been deleted. It's amazing how all but three seem to have gone for good from Windows Photo Gallery. What makes the three persistent ones special, I have no idea.
What's puzzling is that once I've deleted the dud keywords and then export my keywords to a text file, the text file is 'clean'; like they've gone from Lr. However, when they reappear and I export my keywords again to a text file, they show up in the text file.
It like they're hiding away in the image files or some database in such a way that I can't access them and when I edit or rename a 'good' keyword it causes Lr to re-read the image file or database and import the keywords. This, despite that fact that none of the dud keywords show up in the metadata for any of my images as displayed by Lr; eg in the Keywording panel on the right. They also no longer show up in Bridge or Windows Photo Gallery (except for 3). Furthermore, all the dud keywords show '0' for the number of images they're assigned to.
By the way, I've also tried the Purge Unused Keywords function to no avail.

Use of Keyword tags in shared photo files

Let's suppose, first off, that I have assigned person keyword tags to most of the photos in my catalog. Let us also suppose that I have explicitly written those tags to the photo files. Now, I would like to be able to share both the files and the keyword tags with family and friends so that they too can easily access files taken in a specific location or including a specific person. Short of buying a copy of PSE 9 for each (an act of generosity I can not afford), how do I share the information about these photos in a way that is accessible to someone not dedicated to, say, writing XSL code or something equally elaborately mind boggling?
I am running Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 on an iMac running OS X 10.65

OK, I'm a certified idot! I found the tag button, and all of the tags are there, Admittedly without spaces, but they work nicely.
Again, Thanks

RE: How to export keywords tied to images

Can someone give me a step by step as to how to export keywords from one computer so that they will be linked to images in an identical folder in another computer? Haven't been able to find a clear answer in this forum.
Thanks.

Hi Jerome,
I figured out that a change has to be done to load in the configuration, specifically in the Prepare View Stream component.
Have you reviewed my comment on this post?

Hope everything is fine on your side :)

LR2-How delete keyword tags

In LR 1.4, I was able to delete keywords from multiple photos by:
1. Highlighting the photos
2. Deleting the targeted keywords from the keyword tags panel.
This is consistent in the LR2 help files: "With photos selected in the Grid view or the Filmstrip, do any of the following: To remove keyword tags from photos, select one or more keyword tags in the Keyword Tags area of the Keywording panel and delete them."
However, this does not work in LR2 on my Vista machine. I can delete keywords from individual photos but if more than on photo is highlighted, the keyword is removed from the first file only. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Thanks in advance, dave

> I can delete keywords from individual photos but if more than on photo is highlighted, the keyword is removed from the first file only. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
You must be doing it in something other than the grid view. If so, then the this behavior is correct.
