P: Keyword options no longer available in LR4

Probably a good idea to keep both alive. There's a lot to be said about the "squeeky" wheel syndrome.

Oops...sorry John, I hadn't noticed!

For those of you that think we should do as Lee Jay suggested above, I started and idea thread two days ago here :

http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh...

*someone replied and referenced this thread actually

It's "not a problem" by-definition since it was reported as a bug (red exclamation point) when in reality it was done on purpose.

My suggestion is to let this thread die and instead start a feature-request thread ("idea" - yellow light bulb) asking for a version of one of the solutions offered above to be implemented, and reference this thread from that one.

Thanks John and Dan for keeping this thread alive. Fingers crossed Adobe still reads it too... 🙂

I agree, let's see if Adobe agree's 😉

It's unfortunate the moderator marked this a "Not a problem", since it clearly is a problem for many people, and it understandably and needlessly annoys them.

Topics in this forum can be marked with a number of statuses; here's my understanding of the relevant ones:

Not a problem -- the user has reported a problem but in fact there is an adequate solution or product feature that the user wasn't aware of.

Under consideration -- Adobe is considering the idea or problem solution but hasn't made a decision yet.

Not planned -- Adobe understands what the user's issue is but has decided not to address it in the foreseeable future.

Based on Jeffrey Tranberry's response last month, "The team is looking to see if both the old behavior and the new behavior can be supported", it would seem that "Under consideration" would be a more appropriate status.

Jeffery, Benjamin,

Can you please provide an update from Adobe on this serious problem? Just marking it "Not A Problem" is quite annoying as it is certainly a serious problem that is cuasing a lot of people a great deal of time, effort, frustration, and major degradation to the efficiencies of our workflow. Every time I look at this thread and see "Not a Problem" in bright yellow on the header it makes my blood boil.

I know that Adobe feels making this change improved "privacy" protection. However, at some point Adobe must weigh the cost of any change against the percieved benefit. After all, if you REALLY want to to eliminate privacy concerns, then remove the ability to export photos from LR altogether. That would certainly quell all possibility of privacy breaches, but it would also render the product totally useless.

Each "improvement" of any sort must be weighed against the cost of that improvement in terns of usability and functionality. Is the percieved benefit worth the cost in those terms? I think it's obvoius that in the case of these Keywords the cost to your customers is much greater than the percieved benefit of improved privacy.

What makes this so frustrating is that there are several approaches proposed in this thread which would address the privacy concern, would not be all that costly to implement and would still allow your customers to make full use of LR's keywording without time consuming manual work arounds or the purchasing of 3rd party software that may or may not solve the problems.

Can you please remove the "not a problem" tag on this thread and let us know what Adobe is doing to address the issue?

Thanks -- Dan

Yes that is my experience as well. This method does seem to work with new photos though. If you go to Flickr extras in plugin extras to resend metadata you can send new keywords as tags but metadata wrangler won't work with this tool.

i was uploading a modified photo, not a new photo. I tried unchecking the explicitly send keywords option and then it didn't send any new keywords with the photo. I added a new keyword that was set to include on export and it showed up in the exif data but not as a tag.
