    Keyword limit for snippets in bridge?

    backelin Community Member

      Hi

       

      I am trying to set up a library in Bridge of Indesign Snippets, but have problems adding more than 3 keywords to a snippet. If I add a fourth keyword a dialog informs me that there was a problem writing metadata to the file. The problem occurs on local files as well as those on a network. I have checked the writing permissions and they seem to be okay. I have no problems adding more than 3 keywords to other types of files. Is there a keyword limit when using snippets or can someone out there suggest a solution? I'm on a swedish system (Adobe CS 5.5), so if someone can check if the problem occurs on english versions I'll be forever grateful.

       

      Kindly

          Using an English language CS5 on Dutch OSX it also does not work for more then 3 keywords. Also adding info in description field IPTC for metadata does not accept data.

           

          Without having experience with snippets I believe it has something to do with the code for Snippets. Check this thread out I found in Google, they talk about INX files:

            Thanks.

             

            Hopefully this will be addressed in a future update, since the keyword restriction really is a downer when managing large libraries of snippets.

              If you want action for that you have to file a Feature Request to Adobe itself, this is only a user to user forum. Don't hold your breath, there are not many features added in the last couple of cycles and they spend most of their resources on speed and stability of the application itself.

               

              But also visit the InDesign forum, maybe they have better answers or workarounds. And maybe the INX code for snippets does not allow it and then there is nothing Bridge can do about it.
