Import IPTC/XMP Keyword in category, action to differentiate

Post by Gérard 91 »

HI
Option box "Import IPTC or XMP Keyword in category”, in “Option Menu/metadata”, "IPTC&XMP" as to checked in order to be able to assign category in DB category tree, when Ctrl I process is use.

But when this option is active, on an other computer (for instance laptop) where unwanted files exist, all Keywords of these unwanted files are imported in DB creating new categories, disturbing the baseline structure.

It would be interesting to separate two actions/options:
- Write in category tree when ITC/XMP Keyword is used (through Ctrl l) *
- Import IPTC or XMP Keyword in category only when reading directories

Otherwise as the hierarchical information "grandparent|parent|child" is written so as, in IPTC field, all categories “child”, “parent” and “grandparent” should be checked in category tree.

An other question is each word of hierarchical structure "grandparent|parent|child" in IPTC keyword field, recognised as it is in "grandparent,parent,child"

Thanks to consider

Gérard
