Title: Searching for a keywording tool ?
Post by: Lizard on November 21, 2020, 19:23

I basically need a simple tool with option to create something like my own keywords tree and add keywords by checking them.

Pretty much same process like in Adobe Bridge. The problem with bridge is that it is dividing keywords by semicolon instead of comma and adding an unnecessary step in my workflow.

So one more time, nothing fancy, nothing best, I don't need keyword suggestions etc. Just an option to create my small keyword library and add keywords by checking them.

Does anyone know some tool like that, preferably free?

Thanks

I hate to ask, because I don't use bridge. Are there sites that don't read the keywords right? I think I have some files using commas and some copy and pasted words use semicolons, I haven't had any problems importing or editing when I upload.

Why is semicolon a problem?

There are sites like FAA that use Character Limit instead of keywords numbers. Most keywording tools leave a space between keywords. On 50 keywords you lose 50 spaces. That's like 7-8 potential keywords. The tool I use to remove spaces doesn't recognize semicolons.

For my workflow i find Bridge style keywording with custom created keyword library is a perfect option so im looking something that works like that. I remember I used such tool years ago but i forgot what was it. I know it wasn't online tool and you had to install it.

I know there are tools and scripts to convert semicolons to commas but its an extra step in the process.
