How do I see the keywords someone else assigned to an image

You describe a very simple file exchange case - all you want to make sure, that keywords travel with any images you send each other via some sort of file sharing, correct?

This should be possible by default, as Bridge writes keywords to the files, when it can. So if you take a jpg and you add any of your letter codes as keywords, your co-worker should see them, after sending over this updated version of the file.

It would help you to define common set of keywords that Bridge uses. It should get written on one machine, then you can send the file over and place it on the second computer. It is a static list though, every further chance to keywords has to get performed on both machines.

Hi Amy, I answered this in the other thread. Here's a copy/paste

Hi, @Amy the dolphin scientist,

I'm sorry, but there is no solution: you're hitting a double whammy. First, you have a shared server. Bridge does not reliably work on servers. This is something that will probably never be fixed because Bridge was never intended to work on servers. There are times when it does and can. But later, when you change one thing or change nothing, it may stop working. Bridge was designed to work on one computer and can also have external drives. But no server.

The next EXTREMELY related issue is Google drive: that's a cloud service, and just like servers, Bridge was never intended to work on cloud services. In fact, it doesn't work all that conveniently with Adobe Libraries either. This is all due to the reasons above. 

About the only solution I can think of is to use "sneakernet." That is, have one MASTER hard drive that you can update the information on and move it over to the other computers and update. You do not say if you are on a Mac or not, but if you are, I STRONGLY recommend that you use ChronoSync. Where it shines is that you can set it to update only changed files. So, in the window, you'll have one side representing the files in a folder on your computer, and on the other side, it will be the files on the external drive. After setting this up and saving the settings, you then only have to do "Sync," and it takes care of the rest. Also, it does bit-sum transfer, so it will know if there's an error in the transfer. (If you are on a PC, I cannot recommend anything, sorry.)

I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but it's the best I can do.

BTW, I really like your web name. FWIW, I graduated with a BS in Oceanography in 73 but went straight into scientific glassblowing. I retired some seven years ago. I never did ANY oceanographic work or research myself, but some of my glassware did.
