General Discussion and Questions / Re: Inserting an Attribute and...
Last post by Damit - March 31, 2023, 07:43:05 PMNo I have not. At least I don't think so. I use the command>metadata write back and there are always pending files so I assume I have not. Where would I change that setting so I can double-check?

Last post by Mario - March 31, 2023, 07:40:08 PMHave you configured IMatch to immediately write-back any change you do?
This is bad for performance and rarely needed. S

Last post by Damit - March 31, 2023, 07:15:41 PMIn IMatch I click on the file and then a check the box in the keyword panel and hit ctrl+S to make sure it saves. I then see the keyword show up in the top section of the keyword panel. When I checked the exif output I can see the keywords being processed and when I go back to the file the keywords are there, displayed, again, on the top section of the keyword panel, which signify they exist and are attached to the file, but the keywords are not showing in the @keywords category.

Last post by sinus - March 31, 2023, 07:14:52 PMIn the meantime, mopperle, maybe you could have a look about this layout.
To overcome the a bit wide line-spaces, I have used XAML and <LineBreak/>
If you look at it, I think, you will quickly see, where you could do some changes. (Font/Color/Bold and so on).
You can see my attachement with this layout (basically the values of you) and the layout itself.

Last post by Damit - March 31, 2023, 06:47:53 PMI am attaching a log file, just in case it helps. I thought maybe things would update with time, but the new keywords I am adding are not showing up in @keywords.

Last post by Mario - March 31, 2023, 06:17:48 PMThis looks about right. IMatch 2023 uses a slightly smaller default row height, so this will look more like that I get.

Last post by sinus - March 31, 2023, 05:06:56 PMIf I use your template without space, then I get this in the attachement.

Metadata / Re: Problems transferring Meta...
Last post by thrinn - March 31, 2023, 03:38:53 PMJust in case: If you are not familiar with versioning, use a small test database with a copy of a small number of files when you try to figure out things like versioning and propagation. Because propagation changes (oder might change) metadata in your files, I would never work with my "productiion" files to try things out. (Maybe you do this already, then please ignore my post 
)

Metadata / Re: Automatically Update Thesa...
Last post by Mario - March 31, 2023, 03:19:17 PMNo.
The Thesaurus is an universal text store than can store contents for all metadata tags, including keywords.
You can import your keywords from the database into the Thesaurus if you have to.
@Keywords automatically reflects the keywords in your files.
The idea is to a) setup / import a controlled vocabulary into the thesaurus and b) then change it rarely and c) use it to assign keywords in the Keywords Panel. A controlled vocabulary changes only very occasionally. Else it would be not a good controlled vocabulary.
You can configure the Keywords Panel to automatically add new keywords to the Thesaurus, if you want that. Rule b) should be applied, though. You can also add selected keywords to the Thesaurus in the Keywords Panel, which gives you more control over what you let into your thesaurus.
Read the Keywords Panel help topic for all details.
