Photos with only privat labels / keywords

[Phosy]

I'm sorry to come again with a question like this:

Is there any problem, if we have our collection of Photos only with Privat labels or keywords? The handling, to add new keywords, is much easier. So there will be none informationen writen in to the files. The keywords are only in the catalogue.

The Photos will just be used for our own use. We do not sell or distribute these photos.

Do I overlook some important points.

I use the private label / keyword feature for some of my labels / keywords.

The only problem I see (and there may be others) is if you want to locate a photo outside of Photo Supreme (using a keyword) or switch to another program to catalog the photos.

Thanks sanphotgn for your answer.

If we should change from PSu to an other programm, then we could define the keywords with the parameters at this time and write it once to the photos. But till to that point, we could much more easy add and change keywords much more easy.

I haven't checked, but I think an easier way would be to use one option in preferences rather than changing the properties of every label.

If initially setting up a catalog / database, Jim's solution is perfect.

If one has a combination of public and private labels / keywords, or initially set up the labels / keywords to be private (but are allowing the other metadata to be written), and wants to write those keywords to the file; one can select the private labels / keywords and modify their settings as a group (only a couple of clicks after the selection process). After the modification, use the Save Metadata To File.
