![]() ![]() ![]() It's called… wait for it… Expand Hierarchical Keywords. So, I wrote an AppleScript to expand the keywords when I need it. The keyword step of my workflow is very streamlined. I didn't want to give up on using hierarchical keywords. For one or two images, that may be acceptable, but it doesn't scale to larger projects. Lifting and stamping the keywords is an option, although you still spend the up front time applying loads of keywords to the initial image. So what to do? Manually assigning all keywords in the hierarchy is more time consuming. In my example, anyone searching for “Texas” photos will not find my shot. The additional keywords increase the visibility of your photos and improve the changes of someone finding your photos. This is a problem for images shared on photography sites such as 500px or Flickr. Only explicitly added keywords are included in exported images In the example below, the keywords are limited to “Austin”, “Bridges”, “Landscape”, “Outdoor”, “River”, and “Rocks”. Put another way, only the tags in the Keywords metadata field will be in your exported image. When a version or original is exported, only the explicitly assigned to the photo are included in the exported image. The important words in that last sentence are Aperture understands. ![]() Fewer keywords to assign, a faster workflow. However… The export caveatĪperture fully understands hierarchical keywords. Examples include Occupations, Nature, Architectural Features, Human Emotions, and Immediate Family. I also have hierarchies for all sorts of subjects and descriptions. Location hierarchies are intuitive for most people. Aperture understands the keyword hierarchy and shows me the photos I expect to see. Now, when I search for photos with the keyword “Texas”, the results include all photos from “Austin”. The rest of keywords in the hierarchy - “Texas”, “United States”, “North America”, and “Place” - were implicitly applied by Aperture. When assigning keywords, I explicitly assigned only the “Austin” keyword. Please see this KB article for more information on supported options when launching Ad hoc connections.An example of a hierarchical keyword structure Not properly escaping special characters can cause unpredictable results across different browsers. This is something to remember when using our URI scheme. If you take a look at the source code of this page you'll notice that the href attribute has the following content: "rtsx://web%3A%2F%". Note that while the link appears nice and clean when rendered on screen it has to be properly escaped in HTML to get the best browser compatibility. It will also display the dropdown that allows you to select the connection type or template to use for this connection.Ĭlicking this link will result in Royal TSX opening a web page connection to "" without going through the connection type selection dropdown. When clicking this link, Royal TSX will open (if it isn't already open) and pre-fill the Ad Hoc textfield with "". Note however, that if you want to specify the protocol to use you have to properly escape the URL (see Example 2 below). You may also use protocol specifiers (ssh://, rdp://, etc.). Since Version 2.1 Royal TSX supports launching Ad Hoc connections from any web browser/web site by using the rtsx:// URI scheme.īasically, any content after rtsx:// gets passed to the Ad Hoc textfield in Royal TSX. Royal TSX provides a powerful scripting interface based on AppleScript which allows you to automate repetive tasks or integrate certain parts of Royal TSX with other applications.įor a quick introduction and samples please see this KB article. ![]()
