Keywords in lightroom classic
Sep 25, 2023 13:28:02 #
I have 3 issues with the keywords in lightroom classic.
The first is with the auto complete. It used to be that when you start typing a keyword, it would auto complete it if it was already in your keyword list. Well, no more. I have consulted with Adobe and still no solution.
The second issue is about how the keywords are displayed in the keyword tags window. If I enter the name of a bird, Ie. pigeon, which is under the Bird keyword, which itself is under the Animal keyword, it will show up as "pigeon<bird<animal, bird<animal, animal". Instead of "Pigeon, Bird, Animal"
Last issue is when I export the pictures to an album or to One Drive, to send to family or friends, the keywords don't export.
Any advice from the UHH community will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

For the export, look at your export parameters. What options have you selected, removed from the Metadata section?

I have everything checked to include.
Then, it would seem whatever has broken keywords elsewhere have broken them in the export process too.

I have a keyword problem where the scrollable list of keywords seems to have a size limit. I can scroll down to about "N" and no further. Anyone else having a similar experience?

Agree. I've had 2 conference calls with the Adobe team in India and they have not been able to figure it out. I am expecting another call today.
I just hope that another fellow UHH has had similar issues and knows the solution.
Thank you.

Do you have Auto-complete checked for keywords in the "Interface" tab of Preferences? In the Library module in the right hand panel is "Keyword Set" set for "Recent Keywords?" Is Keyword Suggestions set for "Keywords & Containing Keywords?"
In Catalog Settings is Automatically Write Changes Into XMP checked?

Hi fredpnm, I have the auto-complete checked in preferences and the recent keywords for the keyword set. However, I do not have an option for the keyword suggestions. The arrow point only closes the window, no dropdown menu.
I do not have the automatically write changes into XMP checked. I used to but the Adobe tech unchecked it when trying to get this fixed. It made no difference.

The limit used to be 999 listings...not sure about that anymore. It's good to have a main category and then sub categories and then you don't have to scroll so far...so, Transportation>cars, or boats, etc.

Yeah, I said that wrong, my apologies. I should have said in the "Keywording" module and then in the 'Keyword Tag' line is where you will find 'Keywords & Containing...'

I have set up hierarchies for a lot of the categories, however, there are many more that don't quite fit into anything. My main beef is having to retype many of the words already in the list. That is still easier than scrolling down the list every time.
