XnView Software

Hi,

I tried the options "import IPTC keywords" and "read hierarchical keywords" with ":" as separator for IPTC keywords. The IPTC categories in my image files are defined as category:subcategory, but the import does not work as expected. All hierarchical keywords are imported in the main category as "somecategory:somesubcategory". However, If I replace the keywords separator in the IPTC data with "|", the import into (sub)categories works just fine.

I didn't try the "/" and "\" separator, though. In any case, I use GeoSetter for geotagging my photos. GeoSetter assigns IPTC keywords geo:$lat and geo:$lon to geotagged images, so it would be very convenient to be able to use ":" as hierarchy separator.

Thanks in advance!

could you send me a file example?

Sure, you can test it with the following image file:

ok, i see that keywords contains "geo:lon=" & "geo:lat="
but what must be the good categories?

Ok,

when opening this file, the "geo" keywords are used as categories as shown in the screen shot below:
But what I would expect after enabling the option Settings->Metadata->read hierarchical keywords->[x]: is a hierarchical category structure like this:
If edit the IPTC meta data and add some "geo" keywords that contain | as separator, the hierarchical categories are created as shown in the 2nd screen shot above. But I think this should also work with :, if I interpret the "read hierarchical keywords" option correctly.

See Issue 577 for current status and details.

Thank you!

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.75 or later. Could you please try and confirm the bug fix, DrAlzheimer?
