Hello

with photo:getFormattedMetadata("keywordTags") or photo:getFormattedMetadata("keywordTagsForExport") I can get keywords of a photo. But how can I get the hierarchical keywords?

Thank you

Use photo:getRawMetadata ("keywords") to get the array of LrKeywords applied to the photo.  Then call keyword:getParent() repeatedly to get the ancestor keywords.
