Hi,

I encountered problems since the latest Br update. I got keywords under a new list with the name ‘Other keywords’. In this new extra list I cannot get rid of them to install the listed keywords where they should be shown.

Problem or error

The "Other Keywords" list is populated when you select images which have keywords assigned to them which are not in your keywords list. You can delete it but it will be immediately recreated if you select such images again. The only way to rid yourself of it is to select each of these Other Keywords, make it persistent then drag it into an appropriate place in your keyword hierarchy.

If this list did not appear in the past then all such keywords must have then existed in your keywords list. Has your list been corrupted or not transferred to Bridge 2025 during the last update process? If so you can import your list from your backup assuming that you have one. Failing that, if you are lucky, it may still exist in the Appdata folder pertaining to Bridge 2024 or whatever your previous version was. You can perform a copy and paste into the Bridge 2025 Appdata folder.

The alternative is to do what I initially described.
