A while ago, I asked for some help on how to handle the situation when lightroom jumbles up my keywords

Here follows my solution to this which is a bit simpler and fits my workflow somewhat better.
(1) Photos are auto imported into MC from a Dropbox camera uploads folder
(2) In MC, I prune the imported photos and tag the keywords of the remaining photos using a hierarchical scheme for events
(3) I backup the Keywords tags of all (new) photos to a custom KeywordsBackup tag
(4) Using MC, I move the photos to a folder where I import them into Lightroom
(5) In Lightroom I adjust geopositions. Using Jeffrey Friedls LR Geo plugin, I import City/State/Location data from Google.
(6) In Lightroom I tag facedata.
(7) using a custom view which lists files in which the files which the tags Keyword and KeywordBackup differ, I can restore jumbled up keywords by copying KeywordBackup back to Keyword.

(MC will automatically import changes made in Lightroom in the Keyword and People fields)

So, using MC's  excellent view and expression language features I can basically fix issues that have been know for years in Lightroom (and which they'll probably never fix)
