Keyword bug! annoying!

Stustaff

Ran a test with an image and found a bug. seen it mentioned elswher too..

Filename is "SHill_20060527_32233325.jpg" in the ITPC data i have keywords "Decking" "Garden" "Belper" "Gazebo"
when I upload the image it labels it with keywords of "Decking" "Belper" "Garden" and "Gazebo SHill"

Why is Smugmug creating a new keyword made from part of file name and last keyword?

I was running a practice before uploading a lot of images and dont want this to happen to them all!??

here is the link to it http://stuarthill.smugmug.com/gallery/1498652

This is a "feature" not a bug.
That is one way SM automagically creates keywords.
(I can't seem to find the link for it right now).

SM uses the filename ignoring the text "IMG" and numbers.

I have a lot of photos (100+) which start with TOF followed by numbers based on the naming system of my ancient Toshiba camera. If these were public I would have a keyword TOF which was really lit up.

Annoying to be sure.

Maybe SM should have an option to NOT automatically create keywords from filenames.

What Stustaff reported is still partly a bug. I had a look at his original IPTC data and it's like he described - his last keyword 'gazebo' from IPTC got connected with 'SHill' from the filename creating the following one keyword:
"gazebo shill" instead of "gazebo" "shill" like it should have happend.

@Stustaff: Does this only happen with particular images or all images? Do you see any pattern that could help the engineers figuring out what's wrong? Also be sure to add a post with a short description of your problem and a link to this thread over in the bug-reporting thread, so SM can keep track of the problems reported.

PS: I like the idea of having an option to choose which data should be scanned for keywords (IPTC, filename or both).

Ok, after carefully re-reading the post I understand the problem now. That certainly looks like a bug to me.

I have the same problem (issues that result from smugmug trying to create keywords from filenames) and mentioned it here
http://www.dgrin.com/showpost.php?p=315225&postcount=8

as well as here (same problem but for a different reason)
http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=29871

Hopefully it is on the list of things they plan on fixing.

Don, thanks for confirming it as such. I'll be patiently standing by for the fix.

Stustaff

So for now if I temp change file names before uploading it should fix it?

I wonder what file names of:

"_SHill_01022003_5342341" or " _SHill_01022003_454355" would create

hopefully they would just Grab the space and add that to the keyword?

I#ll give that a go later and report in.
