Hi folks,
I have a little problem: when I drop @Keywords on the Category Export patch of Import en Export with Include child categories and include file assignments both checked, the output is an empty list like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<category_schema xmlns:ptrm='http://schemas.photools.com/category_schema.xsd' vendor='photools.com' version='1.0'>
<categories>
</categories>
<folders>
</folders>
<files>
</files>
</category_schema>
Can anyone confirm this?
Kind regards from Holland

Data-driven category are only exported as a set of instructions for how to re-create the category from the database after import.
@Keyword is a special system category and always exists. It cannot be exported or imported.
IMatch automatically maintains it for every database, and the contents of @Keywords are automatically created from the keywords found in the files managed by the database.
hI mARIO,
Thanks for the quick reply. It makes sense that way!
Kind regards

I have the same problem.
I want to create a list of all of the files assigned to a particular keyword and its children.
Is there anyway to do this in iMatch?
Thanks in advance
Steve
I don't think that the category export would help you with that.
The resulting XMP file needs to be parsed by a script or program to produce the list of keywords and files. The category export exports only file ids, file names, and checksums. This is not a report.
A user-readable list of files and their keywords can easily be created via the Text Export module.
Probably you can also produce an output you can import into a spread sheet application and then do a simple pivot table to drill down on individual keywords.
