P: Flickr publish service incorrectly handles multi-word keywords in 2015.2.1

"actually editing the photo and republishing." That's different than removing the keywords -- did you try that?

Also tried, actually editing the photo and republishing. Still no luck. All previously uploaded keywords remain incorrect. Then I made a virtual copy (not sure what this is exactly) and published that, all keywords are properly uploaded. I suppose a virtual copy is essentially a new photo, so perhaps not surprising that its keywords were properly uploaded.

That suggests removing the keywords, republishing, adding the keywords, republishing. Painful, but you wouldn't lose stats and comments.

Actually, I just tried that. The dummy keyword is properly uploaded. All previously uploaded keywords remain incorrect.

What if you add a dummy keyword to the photos and then republish again? It may be that Flickr is being "smart" and noticing that the republished photo hasn't changed, so it doesn't reload the keywords.

Contrary to the original post, I still experience this bug in 2015.1.1 with a caveat (see below). I rolled back LR to 2015.1.1 to fix terrible memory problems that began a week or so ago as well as a new bug (for me) in which LR would only publish 3 photos at a time to Flickr which began happening 3 days ago.

My point, in this thread though, is that I republished (with 2015.1.1) some photos with the improperly separated keywords from being published with 2015.2.1 and they are still improperly separated after republishing. Photos that were NOT previously published with 2015.2.1 have the proper keywords when published for the first time with 2015.1.1. As an example, I had a photoset of 30+ photos. I published with 2015.2.1. Only 3 were uploaded. I quit LR, uninstalled, resttarted PC, installed 2015.0, and then 2015.1.1. I published the rest of the photoset - all of those keywords are correct. I republished the first 3 photos with no other changes - these keywords are not correct.

Is this something that would be fixed with a potential update? Or is there another way to properly parse the keywords? For all previously published photos with incorrectly parsed keywords, would I have to delete the photosets and reupload as new with 2015.1.1 or with a new update? I hope that is not the only option since I would lose all stats, comments, etc.

Thanks, John.

I am experiencing this problem as well. I first noticed it when I went from using LR5 on a Win7 machine to LRCC on a Win10 machine. Behavior is exactly as described in the above post.
