P: Keywords created since upgrading to 11.2 are not coming up as auto complete suggestions

Issue: Keywords created since upgrading to 11.2 are not coming up as auto complete suggestions in the add keywords field when keywording an image.

 

Lightroom Classic Version Number: 11.2

OS Version Number: Windows 10 v21H1 & v21H2

 

Steps to reproduce:

Step 1: Create a new keyword in the catalogue.

Step 2: Select an image and start to type the keyword into the add keyword field in Keywords section.

 

Expected result:

The new keyword should automatically appear as an auto complete suggestion when adding keywords to an image.

For example, keywords ‘car’ & ‘caravan’ exist in my my catalogue prior to updating to v11.2. Now after upgrading to 11.2 I now add a new keyword ‘carousel’ I would expect all 3 of these keywords to appear after typing ‘ca’ into the add keyword field. However, only ‘car’ & ‘caravan’ show and ‘carousel’ is missing.

Keywords added prior to v11.2 are working but new ones added in 11.2 are not.

This happens on both my workstation and laptop (separate catalogues). I checked and this was working in v11.1.

See earlier post - same subject. Several complaints, they are aware, it is
scheduled for future bug fix. Nobody knows when.

Hi,

 

I keyword all my 40,000 photos and everything has worked fine until recently. I now notice that any new keyword tags I apply to a photo aren't remembered for next time so they dont appear in the autofill if I start to type the same keyword. All old existing keywords are still fine it's just new ones aren't remembered.

 

Can anyone help?

Historically, Adobe releases a new version of LR every 8 weeks, so we might see 11.3 in early April.

Unfortunately, Adobe never communicates planned release dates in advance.

All we can do is just wait.

"What is the location of the text file that you need to add the new keywords to?"

 

Create a text file with Notepad or Textedit and add the new keywords to it, one per line. Then in LR do Metadata > Import Keywords and select that file. This appeared to work for at least one person.

"Is tech support so out of it. Not really worth calling!!!!"

 

Adobe tech support is hit or miss, more often miss. They're best at very routine issues but not good at all with more recent bugs and more complicated issues.

"If I select several imagesenter title then enter - in past I would get question - title all or just selected. I ok All and they get title., title.2  title.3, etc. Now only first gets title and i have to enter others separately"

 

In Library, select two or more photos, and in the Metadata panel, click on Selected Photos:

 

Now you when you modify a metadata field like Title, all the selected photos will get the same value. 

 

A bug in the upgrade process failed to copy previous setting for this option, confusing large numbers of people, and unfortunately, Adobe hasn't acknowledged it as a bug.

Having same problem - Also similar problem with self popupating "title" in metadata. If I select several imagesenter title then enter - in past I would get question - title all or just selected. I ok All and they get title., title.2  title.3, etc. Now only first gets title and i have to enter others separately - BUT no longert get the  dot number so all exactly the same.

 

Have spent hours 5= on phone with adobe tech support. On hold now as tech looks up something. With screen share i showed him this thread and asked why many others know of problem and one adobe rep reports noting problem and sharing with Adobe staff why adobe techs know  knothing about it. even to say its a known problem and programmers wrking on it -we will let you know when fixed.. All my time -cheep-simce i retired, but the 5+ adobe hours has to be exp[ensive . Is tecjh support so out of it. Not really worth calling!!!!

Hi,

What is the location of the text file that you need to add the new keywords to?  It isn,t the keyword list in the right panel is it?  My new keywords DO end up on that list but aren't added to the autofill que.  All my previous keywords work fine but the new ones, added since the newest version, show up on the keyword list and accept hierarchy prioritization but are not called for the auto-complete function.
