OK this is not Symbio specific, I wonder if anyone else has any experience on why this is happening.
I have keywords entered into IPTC but on some of my files they are coming across as one big long keyword not separated. It has happened on another site that I know of too so I am sure it is something wrong with my file … I am wondering if anyone has any clues as to why it might be happening.
I will admit that I am not sure if it is keywords entered via Photoshop or in the Windows File environment.
When you open an image on your computer with ExifTool or similar software, what do you see?
I downloaded exiftool but wasnt sure what I was seeing …. if I look in Adobe Bridge all the keywords look like they are comma separated.
But on some files it shows as one word. I am guessing more research is needed … its just a tad annoying not to be able to work it out.I have worked it out, looking at the files that have not copied correctly, something has inserted quote marks in … so the IPTC is seeing it as one keyword …. now to work out why this happened …
I have the same problem but I was preparing files with IPTC for Alamy mostly and so I didn’t use commas. That makes one big keyword 😉 Now I have to re-edit and fix all my 1,6k files…
Adding commas in photoshop helps.Quote marks makes different to. And this one ‘
It destoyed all my descriptions as well. So we can’t use any special marks.That would have been annoying Ariene. I think what has happened is that I pasted the keywords in the file area in windows… lesson learned, will do it all in PS now.
I try not to use special characters anywhere because they never translate properly.@wendy wrote:

Same here! 👿 I was to lazy to open file in PS… Many images data are bad now.
another factor is that the characters dash, quote & double quote do not generate the same ascii codes on all keyboards, esp international ones – so even programs that strip out quotes can get confused

Oh dear …. I guess we made more work for ourselves trying to do things the easy way … 😳
