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:

• {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
