How to ADD keywords WITHOUT deleting existing ones???

Post by mwdnr »

Hello all,

is it possible, that keyword management does not work at all in Photo Supreme 7???

I have a selection of pictures (*.CR2 and *.PSD) with one keyword. And I want to add some more keywords. Sometimes, just the new keywords are the only ones after assigning them, sometimes all keywords are assigned to the files, sometimes some pictures get all keywords, while other just get the new ones. What the hell is the problem???

Same with several other fields, like Copyright-Status. Some get it, some loose it.

Same with IPTC scene code. Sometimes saved, sometimes deleted.

Are you editing the keyword in image details?

Keep in mind that in the default sync settings that catalog label should replace keywords.
Best to assign catalog label, which become keywords (click Labels from the command bar below the thumbnails).

If you prefer writing keywords then change your sync settings to not replace metadata.

I highly recommend to read the Cataloging manual

I am very sorry for my words.

I tried to add keywords using the Details form, but no matter what setting I used the previous keywords always disappeared.
I have now tried using the catalog labels.

Thank you very much for your kind way and your nice answer! Again, I'm sorry for the way I wrote!

I can only second Hert's suggestion to study the cataloging manual. Why would you edit keywords manually using a cataloging software that is designed to help you adding keywords much more efficiently?
Besides:
The Details Panel is not intended for adding keywords manually. If you do that you are asking for trouble! Depending on your sync-settings, editing keywords there has the potential to really mess up your catalog. Also, manually editing keywords is extremely cumbersome. That is what the Label Panel is for. It allows assigning and removing keywords much more rapidly and much more efficiently.
PSu is a cataloging software. It is not a keyword editor.
