Adobe Bridge Keywords

I currently am using Adobe Bridge 2019. It works fine except it doesn't always show all the thumbnail images in a folder and shows only a generic jpg place holder. I was in the process of switching to Adobe Bridge 2024. Problem: Some of the keywords I added in the 2019 version don't appear in the keyword list in the 2024 version. Surpisingly, these missing keywords do show below the inage in the 2024 version but not in the keyword list. Any help with either of these problems would be appreciated i.e.:

1. How to get all images to appear in the 2019 version and not just the generic placeholder.

2. How to get the 2024 version to recognize new keywords added in the 2019 version and add them to the keyword list.

Thanks,

Bob

In relation to point 1, check that you have a suitably large value set in Preferences>Thumbnails>Do Not Process Files Larger Than...

For point 2, can you clarify what you mean by, "... these missing keywords do show below the image" ?

When i look at an image in 2024 version, it shoes a key word which i recently added in the 2019 version. Howver, the key word does NOT show up in the key word list in the 2024 version.

I am still not clear where you are seeing these keywords.

If you have the Keywords Panel open then any keywords which have been assigned to selected images will be be checked in the keywords list. Expand the entire list if you have them organised into Keyword and Sub-Keyword categories then you should see them.

If an assigned keyword is not in your keywords list then it will appear italicised under the heading "Other Keywords" at the foot of the keywords list. Such keywords may be dragged from there into a suitable position in the main list and made persistent. 

I would highly recommend that you regularly export your keywords using the provided menu then, should you "lose" them they can be be reinstated from your saved list.
