Keyword Tree Visual
« on: June 20, 2025, 03:07:53 PM »
Hi,I'm looking to make a visual of the keyword tree we use. It will be huge when it's done, but I'm hoping there's a way to share it with my non-photographer colleagues in way they can view it and read it and it will make sense. What i would really love is the ability to drill drown like we do. A non-PM version of the keyword panel. Has anyone ever had something like this or made something like this? Thanks.

If you are referring to Structured Keywords, they all get saved to a text file that is located at the following path: ~/Library/Preferences/com.camerabits.PhotoMechanic/StructuredKeywords_UTF-8.txt

Thanks. I have that. I need a way to run that into something the average person can look at. Our tree is about 40 pages long. The keyword panel is great for making it readable, I'd love to get that, but outside PM. Something my users can utilize when searching on our DAM. I want them to be able to look at the exact terms we use so they can search for those, if they want.

I did some searching and I haven't found anything that can take a tab-indented text file and present it for viewing and drill-down.  There are some that will make an ASCII tree out of the file, but that's just more noise and doesn't do anything useful.
