Lightroom Hierarchical Subject - How can I create a tag in JRiver

<< < (2/3) > >>

marko:
Got you now.

Matt, at the end of the XMP tag block, there's this:

--- Code: ---lr
hierarchicalSubject[1] !Events|Rome 2017
hierarchicalSubject[2] !Places|Rome
hierarchicalSubject[3] Test Group|Test Keyword
--- End code ---

The "Tag()" function is not finding them using "=tag(XMP: hierarchicalSubject[1])"

Could MC be made to parse these? Maybe automatically replacing the pipes with back slashes and adding them to [Keywords].
Maybe just getting the data into an MC library field would be enough, then we could do some magic with "tag on import" rules?

marko:
This is coming soon. I've been playing around with it a bit, and think I have a nice solution for you that uses tag on import rules, so the familiar Lightroom heirarchy should then be available within MC as soon as the files get imported.

I'm still playing around with it to see if I can break it, but, after falling at the first few hurdles, I reckon I'm getting somewhere quite useful with what we have at the moment.

Let me know when you have build 22.0.87 or later and, providing I haven't blown my image testing library to kingdom come in the meantime, I'll post you through it. Looking promising so far though....

GlennAlt:
Thanks very much for your efforts on this. Much appreciated.

I will upgrade and let you know when I have 22.0.87 or later.

GlennAlt:
Hi Marko, I have installed 22.0.88, which looks like it has the patch.

I'll have a further look tomorrow.

Do I need to just refer to the tag, or is there anything else ?

marko:
There are many ways to get there, so that I don't get over-complicated or unnecessary, do you mind if I figure out how you do some things first?

When I export from Lightroom to MC, I export to a folder that MC 'watches' so that the exported files are automatically imported. Is this how you do it?
Are you familiar with adding fields to your MC library?
Do you want separate "Keywords" and "Lightroom Heirarchy" fields?
When you export, do you have the Lightroom metadata export option to "write keywords as Lightroom heirarchy" checked?
