Re: Importing ACDSee keywords

Sorry, I might be missing something here.
The term Europe shows up in the Category set, but the acdsee keywords don't translate to Categories.
In the example above the acdsee keywords are listed separately and they don't show in the Categories listing
Europe|Norway fjords

In some cases I have assigned a number of keywords in acdsee. Looks like they might need to be entered manually.

thanks

I don't understand, 'Europe' is correctly imported, so you means that 'Norway fjords' should be too, right?

acdsee.keywords is not imported (i dont know what this filed serves)
XnView MP (like other app) import acdsee.categories which is Travel>Europe

Yes, it looks like that file is pretty useless when you change systems.
Thanks Pierre for all your help.

If you have hundreds, you can perhaps use ExifTool to copy acdsee keywords into iptc keywords, and then Xnviewmp will be able to import them into categories.
