Structured Keywords Panel is blank
« on: May 05, 2026, 08:14:58 AM »
Hi,
Ive never had this happen before but my keywords are gone.  and I can't find the file anywhere.  Can you help me locate it and find why it disappeared?  Im using a Mac and the latest version of PM+.
Best,
Vincent

I don't really have a guess as to how your Structured Keywords would have disappeared. If the file that stores them somehow got deleted entirely, Photo Mechanic would create a new one and show you the default set of Structured Keywords, rather than show a window with no keywords.


The file is located at the following location:
~/Library/Preferences/com.camerabits.PhotoMechanic/StructuredKeywords_UTF-8.txt

Restore this file from your most recent backup from before the time the issue occurred and your Structured Keywords will be restored.
