Photo Supreme

When I was in the software industry we had a saying "the great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from". Probably many of you have heard this one.

Has PSU been corrected yet, regarding the unfortunate effects observed by Neil and others?

Thank you all for your patience and for constructive replies.
I've been back to the source system and spend time verifying that it has been exporting the right data as expected, and there were one or two anomalies after all. Having corrected them I have tried all over again from the start with PSU ...

Thanks for your replies.

The make & model are shown on the Details panel but ...

Progress... I changed a setting in the source system to write hierarchical keywords with a pipe delimiter. Obvious really, but I was convinced I had done this months ago. Now I have exported a thousand or so photos and it makes a big difference. Like Neil above I imported these images without having ...

This is also a critical issue for me, but I'm migrating from a different software but using the so-called Lightroom keyword import feature of PSU.

I should have thought that this was a critical issue for anyone migrating their photos to a new DAM and I'm amazed that no attention has been paid to ...
