I have moved entire folder structures from one computer to another then created a new catalogue on the new computer, the keywords are intact.
I accept the key-wording in Lr isn't perfect, 9 recent words isn't enough and I find the entry methods cumbersome for long sessions, having to use the escape key to exit the process for each file is clumsy. It could be made much easier. I have tried other systems inc PhotoMechanic but keep coming back to Lr.
For a while I tried adding global keywords to each batch of daily imports, but found many keywords were inappropriate, it seems harder to remove keywords than add them, so now I only add truly global data like the year, month and location.
I am currently going through the keywords one by one and checking they are appropriate for each image and on the way past adding extra words if needed.
Now, where is my kilt and sporran and my passport...
