Why aren't album keyword tags written to metadata using Write Keyword Tag... command

When I display file properties within organizer it shows albums as keyword tags but after using the "Write Keyword Tag and Properties Info to File" command, the album keywords do not make it to the metadata.
Why is this?  I would really like for it to work.
I am using PSE version 8.  Does it change in version 9?
Thank you!

Ken,
Thanks for your reply.
I think the way that Adobe has implemented albums is a little more like keywords than a saved search.  The reason I say this is because of the following:
1. They appear with the keyword tags to the bottom right of the photo in the organizer.
2. When you right-click on a photo and choose "Show Properties", they are listed with the other keywords.
3. If you try to create a keyword with the same name as an album (to get the album name written to the metadata), PSE warns you that you already have a keyword with the same name.
I see what you are saying but I think the Adobe should either make a clear distinction between albums and keywords or at least give you an option to write the album keywords to the metadata if you choose.
Do you know how to submit product enhancement requests?
Thanks again for your time.
Patrick

  • Why Aren't Albums Showing Up?/Should I Upgrade My iPod To The 4G?

    I recently purchased two new CDs and I uploaded them earlier this morning and put them on my ipod touch 3G. When I checked my ipod to make sure they were all there one of them isn't in the album list. It's not under compilations. It IS on the ipod but it's not showing up where it's supposed to.
    I have the ipod touch 3G and I'm wondering if I should upgrade it to the 4G...

    It seems kindof like an upgrade at your own risk, some ipods don't work and others work fine with 1.2, Mine is one that doesn't work. I got mine for christmas last year so it isn't the newest model that came out I am not sure if that makes a difference.

  • Why aren't my album, album artist, or artwork changes appearing on my iPhone or iPad?

    Fair warning, I'm pretty sure I have a mild form of OCD. I really like to organize my iTunes library the way I like it. Unfortunately the newer updates to the program have seriously hampered my ability to keep things looking the way I like.
    That leads me to my question.
    Why aren't the changes I'm making in iTunes appearing on my iPhone or iPad after I've sync'd them?
    I spend a lot of time combining albums and matching their artwork, i.e. I've combined a lot of the Glee singles into several albums, but all of the work goes away once I've put the music onto any of my iOS devices.
    I've changed the sorting options for everything and turned off my iTunes Match. I've made sure none of them are registered as compilations, but nothing has worked. They all look exactly how I want on my computer then separate into a million pieces on my iPhone and iPad.
    If anyone has any insight into this, I would really appreciate it. I'm really close to pulling all of my hair out.

    I had the same problem time ago but i discovery that not all songs are on itunes store so i did somethinbg easy, go find the songs you want on youtube or somwehere else then make a copy of that album then cut the image of album save into ur computer then go itunes select the song you want to add the albu, atwork go to the album at work tab then add the image you took it before and sync your ipad you will see the album at work in ur ipad, that is what i did and works for me.
    Regards

  • Why aren't any deluxe versions of albums in a clean version?

    Why aren't any deluxe versions of albums in a clean version?

    There is no official word on that.  However, Explicit versions tend to far outsell Clean versions.  So one might surmise that the labels are less inclined to do special things for Clean versions, as they will reach only a limited audience.

  • Why aren't my photo albums in alpha order on AppleTV?

    I have AppleTV 1. When I scan my iPhoto albums to select one to play a slideshow, the albums are not in the alphabetical order as in iPhoto. And, AppleTV shows some "albums" that are actually not albums at all - they are individual photos. Can anyone explain this? How can I get AppleTV to show all of my albums in alpha order?

    I couldn't answer that with any guarantee, I don't share events with my Apple TVs. If as may be the case events aren't able to be listed in the same ways as albums, you might consider using Albums instead of events. I use them out of preference as they allow me to do a number of things that events don't, such as missing out photos or using the same photo in more than one album.

  • Why aren't my album cover arts being synced after updating to ios5?

    They display fine in the iTunes library.
    It only started happening after upgrading to ios.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks for your time.
    (iPod touch 4gen)

    Just updating the discussion with the current events.
    After fixing the problem and having it fixed for about a month, iTunes decided to resync all my library and deleted about a third of my albums' artwork. Even though I use manual sync, all my albums were still on my hard drive and they all had their covers correctly assigned.
    This is certainly a bug on either ios5 or iTunes 10.5.1

    It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
    that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
    appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
    being cluttered up with single artists entries who
    might have only one song listed.
    I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.

  • Automatic "Write Keyword Tags and Properties Info To Photo"?

    I have PSE8 and one of the reasons I stopped using it was because I had to periodically do a manual "Write Keyword Tags and Properties Info to Photo" so that all the metadata stays with my photos and isn't bound to just the PSE database.  This was very tedious to try and select just the files since I last performed a manual write not to mention if any older files were changed that I didn't know about.
    I see that the caption/title is automatically written to the files when changed but ratings and keywords are not.  Why isn't there any option to write everything automatically when changed?  Is this still the case with PSE9?  Thanks.

    That would take care of newly imported photos but what if someone added a keyword tag later to a photo from several months ago and I didn't know about it.
    No, this takes care of ALL files
    The only way to make sure all are covered is to select all photos in my catalog ...
    This is exactly what 99jon suggested
    ... and write tags which would result in thousands of unnecessary writes.
    If there's no new tag information, then nothing will get written (and even if it did, what's the harm, a photo had 3 tags before, and now it has the exact same 3 tags...)

  • Why aren't my songs previously playable on my iPad/iPhone (tho not purchased directly from iTunes) no longer playable on my devices?

    Why aren't my songs previously accessible on my I/Pad 2/iPhone 4s devices in "Music" appearing in faint print & graphics no longer accessible?  I had downloaded them into iTunes on my PC and previously synced them.  Suddenly after recent syncing they were inaccessible.  Why?  (I previously downloaded an IOS_5 platform to my PC to use iCloud.  Was working until recently.)

    I too am having this problem. Its really frustrating. In fact i have my setting to have all music on my phone however the phone displays I have 2986 and the itunes reads 2987. I'm one off on this area. In addition some of my purchased music does not show in my purchased list on the phone. It does show on the itunes account on the computer and in the overall albums just not in the purchased. I drug the purchased song from the albums to the purchased playlist and tried to have it re-sync... did not work.. I tryed re-booting the phone, and restoring from back up all failed.
    Another problem I have found since the IOS7 updates is the phone doesn't keep my music where it was when I get out of my car. I used to love that I would get out of the car in the middle of my playlist go in the store come out and it would pick up right where it left off. Now I get back in the car and it begins playing random music of all my entire library. I love all my music however I don't want to listen to Christmas and Halloween music all the time. I don't want to remove these from the phone as I want them always available. I just want the function to go back to how it was.
    Oh and the last thing, sometimes when I turn my phone sideways and am listening to music the collage of albums shows but freezes so I cant turn the phone back and change the music. I like having the capablility of turning the phone to see pictures and things auto turn but not this collage of albums if it's gonna delay me swictching or skipping songs.
    Any ideas for these issues? Is apple aware and working on these?

  • Why aren't some classes (like Point2D) Serializable

    Why aren't Serializable so many of the classes of Java2D ? (I've seen some other users are complaining about this too). In 1.4 the situation remains the same. If there is a reason I wouldn't mind but I don't know it. Is this a mistake or is there a good reason about this ?

    Yes, Serializable classes can be convenient, but for potentially high-volume objects like Point2D the overhead of using standard serialization dissuades it's use.
    Personally, I never have cared for standard Java serialization -- it's bulky, slow, and sometimes unreliable. I prefer a scheme which favors speed and a low profile. I've written an XML serialization mechanism for Java which accomplishes both. And nearly every class I write that is serializable (using my method) also implements Externalizable making them standard Java serialization friendly. The read/write methods of Externalizable simply forward to my serialization interface methods e.g.,  public void readExternal( ObjectInput in ) throws IOException
        readXML( new XMLSerializer( in ) );
      public void writeExternal( ObjectOutput out ) throws IOException
        writeXML( new XMLSerializer( out ), this );
      }

  • SEO tool, image tagging-is it possible using iWeb photo album?

    Hi,
    Quaetion as above really, I've recently started to use the Rage SEO tool to tag my website, I came to start doing the images within the iWeb photo album and it cant access these, I read on here(04/09) its because its Javascript, is there a way round this yet, other than creating a html page for each photo myself? With over 100 photos to show this isnt my preference, as there is a lot more work involved in the iweb construction.
    Any help greatly apprected
    Cheers
    Paul

    How long have you waited before trying to find your images? Google can take 2 weeks or longer to list them. Secondly, your images might not return results for thousands of pages depending on the keywords you used. It will also help to submit a sitemap as discussed.
    Your Lightroom keywords are for Lightroom/searching use, not web use.
    There are free photo galleries you can add your photos to and link to from your website, but unless you're willing to get into something fairly complicated, this will not help the search ranking of your actual site (though it may help get the images themselves ranked).
    Another alternative is to create a few separate pages with a single picture on each, a good text description, image name and ALT text, and then link to your complete photo gallery for people to view. This might be worth doing with images which have unusual keywords or phrases (and so people would be likely to return them when searching).
    Getting your pictures ranked in Google image search, whilst useful in some ways, can end up being counter-productive as people are more likely to just grab your image for their own use (or ignore it if it's water-marked) and not even visit your website.

  • Why are the albums in iphoto 09 not showing up when I upload them to facebook

    I have downloaded photos off my camera and have put them into a new album. When I click on that album they are there. When I go to upload them onto my facebook and other sites the albums are not there. I can not figure out where they are. They are listed in my iphoto. Am I doing something wrong? I have done
    this many times and lately this has just happened. Why aren't the albums there? All my older albums are. And if I move the pictures into an older album the pictures don't show up there either, just the older ones. This is making me insane! Any help?

    I've tested with jpg, tif, png and I can't reproduce it. Is there a particular image format or all images?
    Since it's not working in another account, it's probably something systemwide.
    Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    The screen should give you these choices...
    Restore from TM backup
    Reinstall Mac OS X
    Get help online
    Disk Utility
    First run Disk Utility Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.

  • Why aren't all of my photos showing up that I am trying to save directly from my email? particularly jpegs?

    Why aren't all of my photos showing up that I am trying to save directly from my email on my iPad2? particularly jpegs?
    Usually i just hold my finger down and am able to save all the photos attached in an email and now only certain photos are actually being saved. And in some instances the actual image is not there but instead just the word "jpeg"
    Why? and or how do I fix this....
    I loved being able to do the one step hold and save all from emails :-( Now its hold, save all and then pray that they actually make it in my photo album
    HElp)))))))))

    When you first enable photo stream on your Mac it only downloads photos from the last 30 days, as older photos are no longer in iCloud.  If the missing photos are older photos, that's probably the reason.

  • File Write Keyword Tag don't create a xmp file

    Hi,
    I use PSE 8 with WIN7 64 Ultimate.
    When I used the  File > Write Keyword Tag command, no xmp file is created. I saw, that the filename was renamed to xxx_edTMP-1.NEF for a short time and than the original name is show. The changedate of the file is not changed Sometimes the file is not renamed the new name is xxxx_edTMP-1.NEF.
    Why?
    Nils

    I assume that you are trying to write tags assigned to a Raw original.
    There is a bug that sometimes PSE does not write tags (or other metadata) to .xmp for Raw files. This usually depends on the type of file; this command never seems to work for .NEF files.
    A workaround is to use John R Ellis's psedbtool
