Well, I’m now working on LightRoom 1.3, and no problems.
\nI thought it would be worth writing about how to import and export LightRoom Keywords.
\nIt’s very easy.
\nJust create a file with a text editor (such as Notepad).
\nThen go the the ‘Library’ module and select Metadata\/Import Keywords
\n![\"lrimportkeywords.PNG\"](\"\/muttzblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/lrimportkeywords.PNG\" "\\"lrimportkeywords.PNG\\"")
\nEach new line of the file is treated as a new keyword.<\/p>\n
It only starts to get a bit tricky if you have ‘parent’ keywords.
\nFor my photos, for example, I tag each image with the common name \/ species of any fish subjects (so far as I’m able to identify them).
\nAs there are hundreds of these (so far I’ve got 239 in my Red Sea list) I’ve organised them into families so – for example – all of the Sharks and Rays can be expanded \/ collapsed.<\/p>\n
In a Lightroom export (and import) file, the children are indented from the parent on the following line with a leading tab character.
\nEnclosing an entry in square brackets (“[]”) will uncheck the “Include on Export” box for that keyword. However, as “Export Containing Keywords” appears to be always checked on import, each child entry will still need to be unset.<\/p>\n
So, for example : [code lang=”ini”]<\/p>\n
[Sharks and Rays]
\nBluespotted ribbontail ray|Taeniura lymma
\nCowtail stingray|Pastinachus sephen
\nMarbled electric ray|Torpedo sinuspersici
\nPanther electric ray|Torpedo panthera
\nScalloped hammerhead|Sphyrna lewini[\/code]<\/p>\n
. . . will not check check the “Include on Export” for ‘Sharks and Rays’. However, the following will : [code lang=”ini”]<\/p>\n Sharks and Rays Synonyms are indented with a further tab, and appear to be enclosed in curly braces {} if they are not to be exported. I’ve not investigated this in any detail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How to create a Lightroom keywords file, import keywords, exclude parent categories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,5],"tags":[22],"class_list":["post-78","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-keyword-classes","category-post-processing","tag-lightroom-keyword-import"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/muttznutz.net\/muttzblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/muttznutz.net\/muttzblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/muttznutz.net\/muttzblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muttznutz.net\/muttzblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muttznutz.net\/muttzblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/muttznutz.net\/muttzblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/muttznutz.net\/muttzblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muttznutz.net\/muttzblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muttznutz.net\/muttzblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
