hierarchal keywords
« on: November 16, 2025, 09:22:32 AM »
I am trying to go back to Hierachal keywording as it makes searches easier.
Trying to use find/ replace to find the three words I ant to replace with the hierarchal string. Not working out for me, I did a search and found examples of using grep to turn hierarchal keywords into flat. What about the opposite way ? Is this even possible ?

The Keywords field is a repeating field so at the very least you're going to need to set the checkbox that treats repeating fields as a single string.  Then see if you can find images matching your criteria.

If you want to post a sample image that you would want converted, I can download it and see what I can do to make it work for you.  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your sample image.

Thanks,

Hi,
Sorry for the delay in reply, was a busy week. Here is a simple one where I would like to have the three separate keywords added to make one hierarchal keyword.
