I have a bunch of flat legacy keywords and a newer set of hierarchical ones. is ther any way to move the flat one up into the subdivisions of the hierarchical ones?

I can't picture what you're asking for.  Could you possibly illustrate with an annotated screenshot?  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 JPEG format screenshot.

Thanks,

as an example, I attached a list of keywords, both the one that are hierarchial and those that are flat. I want to rearrange them so all are hierarchial. Also, now when I create a new hiearchial keyword it is not showing up in the keyword list. The keyword was baby carriage

Jed,

Change the hierarchy in the files and they should become hierarchical in the Keywords tree.  The list just reflects the layout of the metadata in the files themselves.  You cannot manipulate it directly.

As for your new hierarchical keyword not showing up, if you quit Photo Mechanic Plus and start it again, does your new keyword show up?

Since your keyword is hierarchical, you'll need to look for it in the "Structures & Architecture" sub-tree in Photo Mechanic Plus.

Is there a way to hide the flat keywords so only the hierarchical ones are displayed?

Thanks
