double keywords

In the Browse-Tab / Keywords I can see the hierarchical keywords als hierachical (with the arrow for dropdown) and a second time as "flat" keywords - this not only unnecessary but also confusing and the list gets very long.

The metadata in your images has both the hierarchical paths, and each level of that path broken down as individual keywords.  The data in your photos is this way.  If the keywords weren't listed individually, they wouldn't show up in the list.  It's part of the metadata standards to have this arrangement.

Thank you - I am coming from Media Pro, and there you can get a hierarchical list of all keywords used in the catalog. This is important for a feature of Media Pro: You can drag & drop an image to the list to add the keyword ... I hope that PM+ will get this feature, but therefore there has to be a list with the hierarchical keywords only. This would be my next feature request ;-)

Greetings, Christoph

We're not big on drag and drop.  It is clunky and you can accidentally drop images in the wrong place and not know what happened in the end.  I would rather it work like this if it were to be added at all:

Given a selection of images that you would have otherwise dragged and dropped: you right-click on your keyword or keyword path and choose "Add keyword(s) to selected photos".

It would do the same thing but eliminate the problems associated with drag and drop.

Thank you again - I will try this workflow,.

But this will not solve the first problem, the double and long list of keywords. Would it be possible to implement a choice to select wether you want to see all keywords or the hierarchical keywords only?

Regards, Christoph
