We recently returned from a long vacation and I have several thousand photos to keyword. In the process of doing that I'd like to clean up and revamp my (heirarchical) keyword list - a continuous work in progress. I exported my keywords a txt file, opened it with a text editor and deleted the brackets around a bunch of keywords that should indeed be exported. I then re-imported the file and it did nothing. None of my changes were implemented. I could swear I remember that this used to function. Am I remembering wrong? What did I do wrong? I have read many sites and posts and can't seem to find a clear answer.
I know that if I completely delete my existing keyword list (after making a catalog backup!) and import the altered list, the altered list will (should) be correctly imported. If I do this will I lose my existing keywords? My catalog contains roughly 50,000 photos of which 75% are DNGs and the other 25% are jpgs or tiffs. So no sidecar files.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I'm a retired IT-Admin so I'm pretty adept at software-ish stuff.
