Info - tag - improve Categories, IPTC:Keywords, IPTC:Sup. Category

General - Info
there are few inconveniencies with keyword tags:
- no unified separator
- no hierarchy indication
- no space after keywords (all concatenated into single string via separator) that makes line break impossible

eg all default Categories assigned to image will look like this:
test_img_keywords.jpg
  • {Categories}

    Code: Select all

    Other:Photographs:Family:Friends:Pets:Travel:Landscapes:Portraits:Flowers:Animals:Pictures:Icons:Drawings:Videos
  • {IPTC:Keywords}

    Code: Select all

    Other,Photographs,Family,Friends,Pets,Travel,Landscapes,Portraits,Flowers,Animals,Pictures,Icons,Drawings,Videos
  • {IPTC:Sup. Category}

    Code: Select all

    suppl_cat_B,suppl_cat_C,suppl_cat_A

Suggestion
  • improve output of 'keyword' tags
    (update existing tags behavior OR add tag options OR add new tag)
    • {Categories}
      - add option to show hierarchy (pipe as separator)
      - change keywords separator to comma
      - add space after keyword separator
      - use AZ sorting
    • {IPTC:Keywords}
      - add option to show hierarchy (pipe as separator)
      - add space after keyword separator
      - use AZ sorting
    • {IPTC:Sup. Category}
      - add space after keyword separator
      - use AZ sorting
